Ok to tow 86 c1500
Hey. I wonder to see if it will be allright to tow 1986 C1500 Chevy truck 4x4 with 39" tires on it. I want to know if it will hurt my truck since my truck is 2006 Silverado 1500 5.3. I afraid if things will hurt my tranny or engine if I tow those truck 1986 c1500. I think we are going to use 4 wheels trailor. Which is more safe? If it is ok to tow. So which should I stick with 2 or 4 wheels trailor? We are from Ga. Plan to get that truck in Florida.

You will be fine, don't drive like a ***, use sense.. If you tow it use a strap, not a chain, but not for that far of a trip..If you have a trailer like ya said use that.. A tandom trailer would tow better then a single axle. Or you could get a dolly.

My truck is 1/2 ton you say i cant use OD button on on trans shift? Now you made me worry! Last time I went Texas Dallas with uhual trailor with full of furinate move to TX for my friends. I was use OD all the way for like 12 hours! I didnt know that if I not suppose to use OD. I wonder if I tow a truck I still cant use OD button like the cluster will show light on (tow)??

The Tow/Haul just changes the stall and shift points so you keep momentum. Using OD with a uhaul with furniture is fine. Your talking about hauling a truck that probably weighs over 2 ton. thats a lot different than a trailer of furniture.
3rd gear, tow haul on and head on out.

The furinate uhual was PRETTY heavier because load of bed full and in uhual trailor a little long. Which make my truck bed pretty lower. Thats why I got freak out after you say no use OD. But I did ran od tow button for 12 hours. Last July. But my truck was fine so far.
