Looking for a little advice... Down to the point where something will have to be done.
Love my H3 except for the anemic ability to haul a trailer up hills. Been seriously considering a 6.0/6.2 LS and trans swap, but need to know how it will affect the trucks ability to haul a trailer through the mountains. (Getting ready for future travels). From what I have been able to find out, the tow ratings is a multiplier that includes engine hp/torque, transmission capability, frame strength, and axel load strength. You then add a little pixie dust, jump in a circle while patting your head and then some attorney in Detroit whispers in GM's ear what the number will safely be.
For those of you who have done the engine swap, what sort of results have you found?
