I wouldn't waste my time with any other gearing than 4.10's on these trucks. 2K RPM at 70 MPH in 6th.

I just got a 2017 CTD C/C long bed dually 4.10's 68RFE pulling a 19K 43' toyhauler. Absolutely no dead pedal. Pulls awesome. Exhaust brake works real nice. Stability is second to none. There is no comparison to an SRW. It's what duallys do....Pull heavy.

Thank you for your real world observation. Much better than internet heresy. I'm seriously considering these tires when I get ready to ditch the Nexens. I'm exclusively on pavement and tow heavy in the summer.

How is the ride on the 500's? I hear not that great.

Go take a look on the "other" Cummins forum. Someone just went through this identical problem and come to find out the turbo need to be replaced. All is well for him now.

You doing hotshot loads? I will be tied up tomorrow but we need to hook up in he near future. We go by Stockton from time to time just out riding around. Jay.

I'm just up the road from you. I live in Bangor.

There are some good points made on upgrades. Downfall is they all cost money on a truck with a few miles on it and 640 pounds of torque without tune. When you add it all up would it be more cost effective to trade up to a 3500, 4500, or 5500 with an Aisin and 4.10's? This truck is your lively...

So if 4WD is rarely used, this isn't a big deal to get on every oil change. My dually never goes off pavement and is used for pulling my 5'er and bouncing around town. Stays in the garage most of the winter.

A 2016 Ram does not come with a 5.9 or am I missing something?

Isn't the Carden joint still spinning when in 2WD?

Are all you 4x4 guys hitting the cardan joint grease zerk with grease when you do an oil change?

A 4.10 geared Aisin gets you 30K+ on towing. Of course that means getting a new truck.

Hauling 25K plus with a G56 truck. Impressive.

I am about 1 inch lower in the rear than the front with the 5'er on the hitch. I have a 2016 Keystone fusion 414 Toy Hauler that specs at 15.300 dry 1900 gross. Pin weight is advertised at 3600 empty. Im sure loaded its a good bit more. I don't have a picture with it hooked up yet. Here is one...
