Gents, new to this forum and diesel world but have a couple of questions
1) New Ram 3500 SRW w/6.7L Diesel and Aisin Trans
2) Only available gear ratio from factory is 3.42
3) Towing capacity maxes at 16,600 lbs with payload of 3,900 lbs per Dodge charts ( Don't have the truck yet, it's on the way so still working off charts)
4) I want to tow a 20K at full load trailer with a hitch weight of 3,400lbs
5) It looks like if I swap out to a 3.72 I should be good for approx 22K lbs according to Dodge charts
Questions
1) Can I do this
2) What would my new tow rating be
3) Does this void warranty, it appears I am not overloading the payload rating and the drivetrain would be identical to vehicles with a 20K plus tow rating
4) Is this legal, can i officially change the tow rating of my vehicle
Appreciate any input, new to this world and would like to get it right the first time
