I have 3 questions.......
1st, I'm considering getting a 5th wheel, and after reading this forum thru to page 100, I have 3 questions.
My 2003 F350 with the 7.3 and an automatic, has 105,500 well maintained miles on it. Would this be to many miles to start towing in the area of 12,000 lbs? I'm talking maybe 1 long trip and a half dozen shorter trips a year. Truck is paid for, and in exceptionally nice condition. Don't want to have to buy a new one.
The second question is...With 35x12.50x16.5 tires and a current ratio of 3.73:1, I have effectively reduced the ratio to about 3.42:1, and replacing the gearset with 4.10's will give me something like 3.76's, close to stock, BUT.....would I be better off going with 4.30's effectivly getting like 4.10's (off by a few I'm sure) to get better low end grunt.
How much of an impact will this have on my non-towing fuel economy, as when not towing, this truck is my daily driver.
