Towing
I was wondering how much I should be able to tow. I don't have a larger radiator or a transmission cooler installed or even a low temp thermostat. The trailer would not have trailer brakes as I don't have the hookup for it on my truck. Its fairly cool up north here. Any ideas to the amount where I could remain relatively safe?

A lot depends on what axle ratio you have as well. If you have the 3.73 ratio your better off than the 3.42. Bigger tires will hinder towing as well.
