Car Forum / Chevrolet / Chevrolet Trucks / February 2005hauling / towing
Recently I started hauling stuff around for my friends in the bed of my truck. Well my friends have told their friends and well.... you know how it works.... I know move people on a part time basis and making some good money at it. My question is this.. Should I upgrade the engine and the transmission oils or would they be fine? ----------------------------------------------------- users trucks from this group listed below ----------------------------------------------------- http://users.eastlink.ca/~mikemcneil/index.htm my truck is a 1993 chevy silverado Recently I started hauling stuff around for my friends in the bed of my truck.

Just want to see what I can start putting into this thing before I go balls out. >>:|half ton >>:|automatic [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > >-Bret ----------------------------------------------------- users trucks from this group listed below ----------------------------------------------------- http://users.eastlink.ca/~mikemcneil/index.htm ROMOTE TRANS COOLER. A MUST for dang near ANY vehicle! Get a good big one. Twice the size you think you would need. HD fan clutch. 10W-40 or higher viscosity oil. Load range E tires. You can go full synthetic in place of ALL fluids whether hauling or not. LOTS of benefits, and more money, but 2-3 times more miles between oil changes. Oh yea, get a 3/4T with a 6.5TD 4x4 and you will be farther ahead! Just remember to run 15W-40 Rotella in it! >I know that's not a load.

Agree with everything but the 10W40 oil. Stick with recommended. Very few vehicles recommend 10W-40 anymore and most GM engines specifically prohibit it. Too much Viscosity Improver. > Oh yea, get a 3/4T with a 6.5TD 4x4 and you will be farther ahead! Just > remember to run 15W-40 Rotella in it!
