I don't know if this maybe varies by model year. But it's a good indication of the capacity of the truck. Point is, check your owner's...

I would have the 3.08 I’m guessing I do have the 5.7 and it’s only got 133,000 on it if that makes a difference. I am willing to replace...

Your owners manual tell you: C1500 (assuming a 5.7) 3.08-5500lbs 3.42-6500lbs 3.73-7500lbs I think that’s pushing it with age and...
