i acquired (girlfriend bought) a 32' Stinger/twin 454's on a triple axle trailer. Dealer said my 1/2 ton 5.9L 4x4 autotrans/gas would pull it for occasional weekend trips. Now the trick part, i have replaced the axles with units pulled from a 1 ton diesel so i have heavier components and brakes. Also running 36" tires with 4:10 gears. Tranny went out at 52,000 and was rebuilt and beefed up somewhat. I also added a tranny cooler in the process. Truck came with the towing package from the dealer. Trailer has hydraulic inertial brakes so it supposedly stops well on its own. Should I expect any problems? Any tips on towing safely (top speed, leave out of OD, etc)? i wont be going more than 30 miles or so to drop in water.
