Is this normal?
I have a 97’ cab and chassis 3500 standard trans 5.9 12v the truck has a metal flatbed so weighs in at 10,000 lbs
i was towing a bumper pull equip trailer with a 10,000 lbs forklift on it I imagine the trailer weighs 2,500-3,000 14 ft with steel deck
so gross I was at 23,000 lbs
when going from 4th to 5th after getting 4th up to 2,800 rpms I could and would not gain any speed in 5th with my foot to the floor on flat ground. Not losing speed but litterly couldn’t gain 1 mph.
