Message: [QUOTE="Hotrodtractor, post: 761173, member: 25"] It towed awesome. The ride was about perfect with 100psi in my air bags and that load on the trailer. Running home empty I dropped the bags to 60psi. Honestly the truck definitely needs a little tuning done to her - I got the shift points close, but they still could use some improvement here and there. I had to keep the RPMs up to make the motor happy with the bigger chargers and the current tuning. I did get into a couple of shudders that I think were tuning related and there was two roads that sucked... they had just the right spacing between the expansions joints to cause a little bit of a harmonic - but it wasn't hateful like it was before the suspension changes (these trucks are known for harmonics when pulling trailer on interstate..... I70 just east of Indianapolis will jar the teeth loose in your head..... ). It definitely still needs sway bars - but it did OK without them. All in all - I'm happy with it. I will be working on the tuning, getting the sway bars installed (they sit in the shop) and then I'll probably be doing a gear swap before next spring to help things a little bit - I'm not using 6th gear at all even in DD duties..... with the little extra engine RPMs I need to keep things happy with the chargers I don't even want to let it go into 6th until something like 80mph for cruising.
