    K20 pulling 19k lbs...

    Yup, it is a 5th wheel trailer. 15.9k dry weight & 18.9k gross weight, which includes 1k lbs of fresh water and 2k cargo. I was looking at a 3500 RAM before, but not interested in spending $60k. I've seen this truck with 454 towing 14k lbs, which is what gave me the idea.

I do have current vacuum/ fuel and high idle problem I started thread in tech section, so...

    Help bringing this K20 back to life..

    So, just bought this K20 and it hadn't run for a couple of years I syphoned out old gas and rotated engine with oil in cylinders and got it to turn on, but it goes straight to high idle, sounding like almost WOT. Noticed that all vacuum lines are gone except brake hose. The left and right vacuum...

    K20 pulling 19k lbs...

    Hey, guys and gals... New to the site, but glad I found it. So, little bit of background, I got a heck of a deal on a fifth wheel, which is my first one, so I knew nothing about all of the weight ratings and towing requirements. lol No regrets, but my current '98 K1500 can't do the job; 19k...
