I recently bought this '96 six door limo:
I'm planning on doing some pretty heavy, long-distance towing (about 3k lbs.) with it. It has the following RPO tag:
Anyway, it's got the GW9 2.93 - 9.5" rearend, A75 heavy duty front and rear suspension, KD1 external tranny cooler and KC4 external engine oil cooler as well as V03 extra capacity cooling. It also has V4U 7200 GVW limo option - whatever that is.
It's missing the 3.42 gears and mechanical fan of the V4P package, so what does this really mean regarding towing ability?
Will this car pull 5K with the putnam 5K rated hitch? Are there any other mods required? Can you suggest any safety enhancements (other than electric trailer brakes)? Any other tips or advice?
BTW, if anyone can run a carfax, I'd be very thankful.
Thanks.
