    No power in 5th Is this normal ?

    Makes sense yes I have a trans temp gauge now and I have a fast cooler system (only 1 tho) as I have a pto winch on the other size. I run 6 qts with that setup, 1 extra for the one cooler then 1 extra through the shift tower and my pto gear box hold prob half a quart so I could even run 6-1/2...

    Right but I’ve heard you can tow in 5th AS LONG AS you stay above 1800 ... ideally 2000 ?

    No power in 5th Is this normal ?

    Ya me either the shop I take it to the guy used to be a diesel mechanic at the dodge dealership from 93-01 and said he gave the turbo or boost a “few clicks up”(there a star wheel on the afc that I’m assuming he was taking about but can’t be 100%?) for more Boost and power. It had power in 1st-...

    Yeh stock engine.. well have replaced the fuel filter since, turned up the boost on the star wheel a bit to 30 psi wide open I don’t know about back then didn’t have gauges then and haven’t hauled a load that heavy in a while but will be soon.

    1997 5.9 3500 CC conflicting info

    Ya you got a look at the priority though I’m a daily driver who tows occasionally. Also while I get that I found several people who say the tundra with the 4.3 differential hauls much better than their 2500 3/4 ton at the same weights so if I was towing a ton or more than 9-10k total behind...

    1997 5.9 3500 CC conflicting info

    I’m guessing that’s surely 5th wheel? See I’m not in the fifth wheel game now so bumper pool I have a 10,400 lbs which is why I’m saying all things equal I can get away with the tundra as I only pull 400 miles once or twice a month tops. However I have access to a 14k bumper pull so I’m saying...

    1997 5.9 3500 CC conflicting info

    1997 5.9 3500 CC conflicting info
