towing capacity
Hey guys I know this question gets asked alot but i'm feeling kinda lazy so here goes. Does anybody know what the towing capacity is for a 96 f-150 with e40d and 3.55s? The sticker on the door is too faded to read. I guess the closest I can get is the rating for a super cab. I'm sure the crew cab conversion lowered towing capacity some. 
Thanks

Max combined weight is 11,500lbs for that powertrain combo in an F150 so weigh your truck and then you'll know how much trailer you can tow.
I'll add that the truck will need an additional trans oil cooler and a valvebody shift kit(not a plug-in electrical module) if you would like to keep the transmission under the truck and functioning normally.

Stock, probably 6000 or so. With some upgrades, especially to the tranny, a good brake controller and an anti-sway hitch you might get away with 8000. But it's going to struggle up hills with that much weight.
