Just bought a 2001 2500 red and silver,auto,leather,infinity stero,hd tow and camper package,linex bedliner,wood grain dash.
What I would like to know. Is there anything I can do to beef up the auto or should I worry about it? I plan on towing a 32ft. 10,000lb. race car trailer on occasion
and using it to carry my 8. 5ft Lance extended
cab camper. But not both at the same time.
I've got autometer trans temp and exhaust temp gages on order.
So far I love it and hope it gives me many years of use.

Welcome to the TDR Website!

I would recommend that you at least
install a good shift kit or valve body
to start with. This will raise your line
pressures up and help the transmission
last longer. Also, the "Mag-Hytec" trans-
mission pans hold extra fluid. I think
they help also. If you start doing alot
of "BOMBING" you will need an afermarket
torque converter.

Hope this helps you some.
