Making a towing beast, out of a stocker 97

[gundog]

Hello,
I have a 1997 crew cab 4x4, totally stock truck. She started life on the North Slope of Alaska, and has slowly made her way south. about 105,000 miles and a new auto transmission behind the 7.3 diesel. The "plan" is to turn her into a towing machine for a fairly heavy 5th wheel, so any help, ideas etc? :joy:
thanks much!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am working towards your very goal. You can see what I have done so far and still have injectors turbo (possibly) and HPOP to go.

Still vacillating between stage ones and twos which will determine turbo or not.
