First I have to do the compression test and see how the rings are maybe a valve job. What I have found out so far is the gears are not going to really make the differance I'm afterRe: tow vehicleit is 2 wheel drive 400 trans. I may be leaning towards the cam. the engine has 102,000 it turned 100k while we had it. I really would like keeping it as stock as possible but I still need it to pull.Re: tow vehiclewhat cam? been thinking of thattow vehicleWe have a 1987 Coachman 5th wheel. We pull it with a 77 C20 Chevy Camper Special It has a 454 from the factory the rear is a 3.21 ratio our problem is long steep hills. We hit the bottom doing 65 and by the top we are at maybe 30. Do I change the rear to 4/11 or build up the engine. The truck is like new been in storage a long time with no rust and the camper is in the same condition.
