>>Need a bit of advice with towing.

>>I have a 97 dak cc 4x4 sport auto/od with 3.55's; pretty much stock.

>>I know the trailer of that size is a bit overkill, but I have seen guys

>>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.
