Looking for better towing performance. 2003 quad ,longbed ,5 speed ,3. 73 stock. This is my 2nd cummins and I love the dependability(only 1 injector and 1 xfer pump replaced with 145000 mi. ). I am trying to decide whether to increase the power of the 250 hp engine or look for a newer truck that...

My 03 longbed 5 speed has a loud 'tinny 'vibration not too far above idle. [in gear under load] It sounds like what I would expect a heat shield or a large piece of sheet metal vibrating to sound like. It's not a huge deal but while easing through campgrounds or town driving, makes the truck...
