17 (1997)3.73C. Is this right Jerem0621 or is the internet missleding me lol :-p
p.s thanks to everybody on here that helping me this is such a great site im glad i found it and will tell all my cuzins that are getting into the rv scene :)
Here are the Expedition codes...
19-3.55 non-limited slip
17-3.31 non-limited slip
H9-3.55 limited slip
H7-3.31 limited slip
H6-3.73 limited slip
I towed my 5500 lb 32 ftr with the 3.31 axle ratio and it seemed that the poor truck lived in second gear at 55 - 60 mph...I think that the chassis is more than capable but you may find a disparity in performance experience and expectations towing that TT with 3.31's and a 4 speed auto.
Good luck either way you decide.
