    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Clutch Slip?

    While towing my 5th wheel (10,000 lbs) on a flat section of highway, it appears that my clutch is slipping. I'll be going along at 65 mph, 1900 rpm, and 65 mph. The next thing I see is the rpm rapidly increase to about 2400 rpm and the truck slows down. I'll push the clutch pedal in and then...

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Wont not get over 60!!

    I pull my 5th wheel at 65 to 70 mph all day. I'm in 6th gear and only slow to 60 mph at 1800 rpm up hills. My trailer weighs about 9500 lbs loaded. This configuration works fine for me ;) .

    manual or auto

    I had a 1998. 5 with the auto. At 32k miles the torque converter went out. I was only pulling a 6k boat. I traded it on a 2001 with a 6 speed :D . I'm sure I could have bombed the transmission to make it work for me but any excuse to get a new truck is good to me :D :D :D . Now I use it to...

    CB/Weather or CB/SSB

    I don't have SSB, however, I do get weather info from my scanner. The weather info only works good near bigger towns or coastal towns. It does come in handy. :p

    1,300 Payload - Say it ain't so!!

    Just checked my GVWR label. It says 10,500 lbs. I wonder why the 4X4's would be limited to 8,800 lbs. :(

    Ordered the new Fiver!!!!!!!

    I can't imagine fitting bunks in on the 31BWFS. My wife and I saw that option and thought it was an error :confused: . Anyway, it's just the two of us, plus dogs, so we really liked the layout. -Tim
