I have a 97 dodge 3/4 ton HD with a 6 cylinder 5.9 liter 12 valve diesel. According to Chrysler it puts out 235 hp. I pull a 7,000lb 5th wheel with no problem. The manual says that the truck has a towing capacity of about
11,500lbs. I'm considering a larger 5th wheel but I'm concerned about the horsepower of the truck versus the weight of a larger trailer. I've talked to the local dodge dealer about how to increase the HP but they are not very forthcoming with information. Can someone give me some idea's about how to increase the trucks power. Thanks- posted
