How does this keep happening?
At this rate I'm gonna have to swap frames again and find a 6cyl cummins. 
2,000 of wet pecan in bed
>5,000 of T-post plus >1,400 wire plus trailer. 

Dog

Towing less than 2,000#

Total load of around 6,500 including truck. 
Same hill that >7,000 camper flew up at any speed. 
Truck
Floored in second gear dropped from 57 to 52. 
Gonna change cam timing. If that doesn't do it for power or make any change I'm finding a 6BT.
