I had the same truck with the same engine and gear ratio....Sorry to say it was easily the worst tow truck I ever owned. Second gear blowing its brains out towing a 5000 trailer over the mountains in Va and WVA. Might have been something wrong with my truck and I wish you much better luck, but it seems this engine combination was designed for empty fuel mileage figures and not for towing.
Sold it and went diesel.....More better!
Just to clarify,
You had the all new 2014 Silverado with the 355 HP 5.3 v8 and hated it? And you traded it for an 06 Ram Diesel? (Excellent choice BTW)
I'm not a fanboy of the silverado but I am pretty sure it's been improved with the new model. I have been wrong before though.
Thanks!
