Yep, that looks like an MI truck from the undercarriage. It is amazing how much of a toll the Winter can take on our vehicles. I just got a new truck to pull our trailer with this Summer too. I had a dead cylinder on my old one and there were enough other issues that it wasn't worth fixing.

I'm hoping I don't find any other hidden issues with this truck. As long as the drive train is still good, I can deal with the rest of the problems.

These are great old trucks, I've got a 93 that runs like a champ. I've got the 3liter engine though so it's a little too gutless for pulling trailers.

Well, I suppose it depends on the size of the trailer. I know my truck won't pull a big trailer very well, but a smaller camper shouldn't be a problem even for a 3 liter engine.

On level ground I could tow a small camper but if I have to go up any hills I'd be lucky to hit 45mph, and stopping would not be very stable. Little truck with little brakes.

Yeah, stopping is rather important, isn't it...
