In 2002 GMC you have 5.3 they no longer had 350 at that time:p

I have 2002 Chevy 1500 Just turned 112.000 and besides new U joints and tires I just added, I haven't had to anything else to it!

Well I did replace the rear springs with 3/4 ton springs, cranked T Bars and Extyended shocks so would tow better.

Yeah, maybe if you put brakes on your trailer the truck wouldn't mind so much.

Had nothing to do with braking, It towed and stoped fine with the V20, Its towing my 30 foot camper which has brakes, its the tounge weight that the truck had a problem with.
nd now I have the 23 foot Sea Ox I am glad I did it!

I've had a pleasure in my life that it is unlikely my kids are going to have, I have owned Chevy trucks, Ford trucks and the use of one Dodge truck years ago that belonged to the guy I shared an apartment with when I got out of the army. Currently (and probably for a long time to come) own a F250 Super Duty which has been great.
I have also owned a Nissan 4x4 PU and a Toyota 4x4 Tacoma TRD that was a joy(especially off road)
Loved them all.
But driving an American built pickemup is a great pleasure period. And a hot chick driving one is one of the most beautiful of all of Gods creations:D:D

The 350 was used up until 04 I believe in some van's for specific use, 2000 in the regular HD's, 98 in the 1500 trucks, 99 in the TAHOE/SUBURBAN, and up until 03/04 in the solid front axle HD set-up's like the U-HAUL trucks. The 6.0 is an updated 350 in a sense. They share many bottem end designs, but they use the cylinder head design that GM came up with for NASCAR and drag racing back in the mid 90's. They use the splayed valve styling with the equally spaced runners. It helped to even out the cylinder balance. GM is known for getting a design and just updating it, not wiping the slate clean and starting over.
