Towing upgrades.

Posted

So I tow a 10,000# camper with a stock 3500 rwd. I have read that dual turbos afe better for towing. Why is this the case and wouldn't a larger turbo accomplish the same thing? Just trying to wrap my head around some of the concepts.  Thanks

    That would be great. Just got to deal with this rear-end problem that popped up yesterday.  Scubbing and occasional clunk when turning. Think it might be a side gear problem. Wife thinks I should buy

    Bigger turbo means more lack and more smoke till it spools. Smaller turbos spool faster but cap out early and start to choke on the exhaust side causing heat.    I'm towing larger trailers w

    If we could get together I would demo it all you wished.    Actually its pretty cheap when you compare HP/per dollar.  Quadzilla is the biggest HP tuner for our truck at 180 HP possible. W

Most auto parts stores will have the additive in one brand or another, I would think any of them would be fine.

Kind of is but small exhaust housing of a 9cm2. The only different between is mine is a 60/60/12 and the HE351 is a 60/60/9. Hybrid HX35/40 breathes better. 

I typically just buy the NAPA 85w-140 with modifier included. Just pour in.

I know the CW is a 9cm2, but the VE is the vgt with 3-25. 

I use Sta-Lube EQUA-TORQUE differential friction modifier made by CRC.  It meets GM#1052358, Ford #M2C118-A and Chrysler #4318060.  It comes in a 4 oz tube and is enough for most diffs.

Thanks Joe. I will look into it when I get back to town. Had to rent a truck to pull the camper on vacation we had planned. Couldn't let the family down.
