Should have bought a Ram!

You had a decent gear under that truck. He probably does not. That makes a BIG difference with a small cube motor. Also of course, turning OFF the OD as Ford recommends is a no brainer......although I've seen geniuses let 'er go right into OD with all that load.

My '89 F150 pulled home my Ramcharger.

5400# truck, 5500# Rancharger, 2300# trailer.

Do the math.

I don't know what year your truck is, but the bricknoses had issues with properly working gauges.

My temp gauge and oil pressure never worked. My nephew's '87, his oil pressure gauge worked, but his temp and voltmeter didn't.
