hauling / towing

my truck is a 1993 chevy silverado

Recently I started hauling stuff around for my friends in the bed of my truck. Well my friends have told their friends and well.... you know how it works.... I know move people on a part time basis and making some good money at it.

My question is this..

Should I upgrade the engine and the transmission oils or would they be fine?

geez, that's not even a load. no, you don't have to do anything special, but an auxillary trans cooler is never a bad idea.

ROMOTE TRANS COOLER. A MUST for dang near ANY vehicle! Get a good big one. Twice the size you think you would need. HD fan clutch.

Oh yea, get a 3/4T with a 6.5TD 4x4 and you will be farther ahead! Just remember to run 15W-40 Rotella in it!

Agree with everything but the 10W40 oil. Stick with recommended. Very few vehicles recommend 10W-40 anymore and most GM engines specifically prohibit it. Too much Viscosity Improver.
