Howdy guys, so im about to purchase a 33foot bumper pull travel trailer and was wondering if my 04 express van with 5.3L and towing package is able to pull a trailer that weighs approximately 7,950 pounds? Also im interested in adding rear airbags to help alleviate sagging because even now when I add groceries or some weight in the back I will bottom out on dips and can hear hitch scrap asphalt. Thanks for feedback

  Looks like I am getting a new compressor. It's on backorder so I will let you know. Not sure how long.

  By the way the 98 diesel with its 355 gear gets 25 mpg at 65 mph. The 2000 7.3 one ton diesel gets 22 with the more pulling gear at 65. The way my mother drove it to town on secondary roads usually at 45 mph got better than that.

  I'm confused on the 10 qts—the L8T takes 8 (7.9, actually) quarts with an oil/filter change.

  I pulled mine last night, it was crusty like all the ones on the internet. I cleaned it off and put it back on. It made a difference in drivability - truck seems to have a bit more pep to it. Milage is showing preliminarily a boost too of about 1-2 mpg. I'm going to start checking it each oil change.

  I pulled mine last night at my latest oil change. It has at least 90K mile on it since its seen daylight. It looked about like the photo above. I knocked the loose stuff off, shot it with some cleaner, hit it with compressed air and put it back. I'll be danged if the truck doesn't seem to be a little lighter on its feet today. With a bit better milage too. Guess I'll be more regular about cleaning it.
