will it work
hi i have a 1988 F 150 truck long bed 5.0 4speed auto, need to know if this would tow a 28ft travle trailor without any problems, i was thinking of changing the aluminum drive line with a steal one does any one know if there is one that is interchangeable thank you for your replys
p.s. i used it to tow a mustang mini stock with a small dual axle trailor all summer with no problems if that helps, just the travle trailor weighs more i'm sure

The driveshaft is not the weak point in this setup--not by a long shot. The 302/AOD combo is. Sure, you COULD pull that with no problems, but the statistics are probably against you. Get a tranny temp gauge and don't let it get too hot, and go easy.
