Need a bit of advice with towing.
I have a 97 dak cc 4x4 sport auto/od with 3.55's; pretty much stock.
When I tow heavy loads with it (loaded 4 place snowmobile trailer), it
really works and is horrible on fuel. Not to mention how the tranny
shifts constantly on the slightest hills.
I know the trailer of that size is a bit overkill, but I have seen guys
towing with dakotas (especially large boats) without a problem. I
guess what I want to know is:
1) am I stuck with the situation and have to deal with it, or
2) can I modify the tranny, gears, drivetrain to enhance it for
pulling? I already have headers, dual exhaust, computer, and FIPK in
the works for add-ons.
Any help would be appreciated.

1 question? Are you shutting off you're overdrive when towing?, that has a
lot to do with the transmission hunting for a lower gear constantly.
