OK Frank, I broke down and bought a 94 5-speed

single cab dually. For the best use of my bucks, what do I do in what order to maximize power, logevity, fuel economy and driveability? Where do I spend my first thousand? my second thousand? I'm into the truck for less than eight grand and I use it to carry my 3500 pound Lance and pull either a 7x12 motorcycle trailer (single axle), a two horse trailer, a 38 foot Wells Cargo reverse fifth wheel, or a 34 foot Avion. Mostly in South Florida!
