towing with auto trans

hey all, the possibility of my truck becoming the family truck has come into play.

what are some suggested things that i should do to my stock auto for towing? probly the biggest thing i would be towing would be a 32' travel trailer.

I agree. Mine is stock also and haven't had any problems so far but I only tow about 10K max. Don't be afraid to pull in OD. Put a gauge in the hot line so you will know exactly what's going on.
