Can I tow with 1st gen ranger?


Yeah, manual rating is BS IMO, but it's the legal limit. I should probably swap in an automatic for my use. LOL

5r55E with custom controller and paddle shifters should be pretty fun.
 
Has anyone got any personal experience with a stage 1 or 2 clutch? I'm looking at SPEC clutches. I want to tow with the truck after I get the trans rebuilt, and SPEC claims "A SPEC Stage 2 Clutch will handle significantly more torque than stock without the "on-off" feel of true race clutches, blending driveability and the ability to hold lots of power perfectly. Perfect for Weekend Warriors. The SPEC Stage 2 Clutches are designed for all mild to moderately modified naturally aspirated and power added engines, but can be used with stock power levels without sacrificing driveability or excessive wear characteristics."

I'm a class-A CDL holder and most of my vehicles have been manual. I like the thought of a longer lasting clutch with a firmer grip, even if the towing capacity remains the same.
 
I'd e-mail them and ask what the actual numbers are. If the claim has any basis they had to have tested somehow. Right?
