TOWING CAPABILITIES

So with my 87 hb 4x4 m/t what is the typical capabilites for towing with these things, its got the z24, what is the max that you would tow.

I'd like to get an aluminum boat to tow behind this thing, possibly a pop up tent trailer. I can't even guess what a tent trailer weighs, but im fairly sure that it could do an aluminum boat and trailer.

I of course first have to figure out why it keeps acting like its got a miss any time i reach a steady speed, LOL don['t wanna loose the load im towing when it hiccups and jerks the whole damn truck

did u ever read the codes??

generally you do not tow any thing that weighs more than the truck you are driving..

also it is not so much that it can't pull the weight it is that you can't stop it...

No zane, haven't read the codes and I don't even know how too, is it something that can be done at home? Like on my wifes sidekick, you have to make a jumper wire and jump between 2 spots on this plug on the passenger side to get it to flash the codes.

If it can be done at home, pictures are worth a thousand words for me. I'm not the most mechanically inclined person in the world, but I always am willing to give it a try. Terrible at electronics LOL.

Thanks in advance

Okay so now that I read the whole first line of the sticky, I see it was inclusive of HB, first time I was on this site, i just read the part about pathfinder.

So this is how lucky I am.

When I turn my ignition switch to the accesory position, the only lights I have are a headlamp, oil, brake, battery and seatbelt, and there is what looks to be a light above fuel gauge that doesn't light up when its turned to accesory, don't know if it works, and don't want to run it low enough to find out LOL.

You can clearly see all these lights on the cluster with out turning the key to accesory. I don't see any other light on the speedo cluster at all.

I have no idea why?

sorry, every other car does it by blinking check engine light, i got it now, will try this out this weekend when I do the tuneup. I should say every other car i've owned that I checked for codes, it made your check engine light blink and you counted those blinks

yes zane, as i said, PREVIOUS cars, i understand the led light, and I can count the blinks. I've never owned a car that didn't have a check engine light and that you could read the code right off the ecm

and thank you

okay read the codes, i got a code 41 and a 32, EGR and intake fuel temp. I'm pretty sure on the EGR it just needs replaced, but the intake fuel temp I'm not sure what to do on that. I just did the first basic scan that was listed in the sticker and those are the 2 codes that popped up.
