Hello all,
I am considering transporting my home furniture across the county, from Georgia to Texas (over 1100 miles), towing a 6x12 U-Haul trailer.
The thing is my truck is 9 years old; she has about 130,000 miles on the drivetrain and engine. When going uphill around 45 mph, I notice a slight rattling or knocking sound...this is what concerns me.
I have consistently changed my oil (mobile 1/K&N oil filter) every 3000-5000 miles depending on my driving conditions, flushed and changed the transmission oil/filter twice since buying it in 2004, and changed the spark plugs and wires twice.
Do you think my truck will make the trip pulling around a 4000 lbs. trailer?
Thanks, all advice is welcomed
