Since the tow vehicle subject has been brought up, here's another question.

Vehicle: Dale, a 1988 Chevy 4 wheel drive K1500 truck, 305 engine and 
overdrive automatic transmission with 100,000 miles on the odo

Poor Dale must struggle in low gear to pull a TR3 on an open steel tandem 
axle trailer up a grade. I realize that it is normal to slow down some on 
hills, but this seems excessive.

Would a fresh 305 solve this problem or is this engine unsuitable for 
towing?

I am thinking of a Jasper replacement engine. Jasper will only exchange 
engines like for like.

Any suggestions would be appeciated!

John (J.R.) Herrera
