    So with a truck rated to tow 20,000 lbs or so was working really hard to tow 6000 lbs? I think your truck is broken or tired..:D

    So no source, other than another internet forum...seems legit.

    HP = (Torque * RPM)/5252

    You can figure out the RPM's if you know both the torque and the horsepower. If that graph is accurate, it does in fact show that the 4.0l makes better low-end torque, which anyone who has driven both the 3.5l and 4.0l already knew....glad we finally got back to square one.

    None... yet
    Had ECT on the whole time, started using s5 too today and it helped a bit but still the wonkiest shift points of any truck I’ve had at those speeds towing. Didn’t even bother with CC today
