I feel safety and comfort is primary, so if a truck is rated to pull 12k, do not exceed 80% of capability. Otherwise there is nothing left in a pinch. and Gas engines are pushing the limit every time they pull a heavy load.

I am not so sure about the 4:10. I had a 2001 that was a strong truck, but the engine was so noisy when My clients spoke i had to coast! And outside OD, I went 65 MPH max.(2400 RPM max) Great mileage, but dowdy.(slow in hillbilly terms)

for sure, my 2012 3500 is 3:54 ratio

very true, I began towing with A 2500 with a 5.9 Cummins since 1996 thru 2002, and the 5.9 3500 from 2003 thru 2006, then the 6.7 from 2007 to the present 2012, and I still own that one. The 96 I had ran a Jacobs brake Installed by the Cummins Dealer in Phoenix, and it was a Godsend on...

there is nothing worse than listening to a gas truck screaming down hill trying to slow down from 10,000 feet to ground level, VS Running 1800-2400 under control at a leisurely pace with the other diesel trucks out there is reassuring. I towed with gas trucks for years until I could afford a...

not true, the 2012 Ram Cummins comes standard with the engine brake, both on Automatic and Manual transmission, Installed by Chrysler as standard equipment on all Cummins equipped Trucks 2012.

plus the safety of the engine brake and Tow/haul

Needless to say, if you tow, Diesel is it. Also, I paid 40k for that truck in 2012, and today the dealer offered 35k sight unseen. so resale is a big factor.

Cummins all the way. I have owned Cummins trucks 1995, and my newest is a 2012, the last years before the diiff additive. I will never sell it. The comfort and safety knowing you can pull 20,000 plus, and have tow/Haul along with the engine brake. In the Mountains with 12,000 the truck laughs at...

I keep my cars as close to original as possible, even repairing an original piece than buy a repop part. The little Plymouth came with the 3:23 sure grip, so it will stay that way, with the original F8 painted wheels and goodyear E70x14 tires. I may venture to the aluminum dual plane...

1969 formula s 383 four speed, I am building to exact stock replacement, trying to keep the compression up at least 9:5 to 1. hard to do with new .030 over KB162 383 pistons, 915 closed chambered heads and .019 steel gaskets, and comp cam version of the 335 HP engine. But, it will be whatever...

they did, bit it started as a 330 as standard, then 440. The number used came prior to the Introduction of the 440. the C bodies were also known as the 880.

another annoyance; My 69' Coronet says 440 on the fender,,,,Wow! how does that 440 run? GROAN!

@95.00 per hour, 40 hours labor is reasonable for that level of engine. No such thing as Inflation? HA

I'm with muddog, I have moved cars across country for 30+ years. I always tie down the lower A frame, and the rear axles. I let the suspension do what it was meant to do. I found early on if you tie the car down on the suspension, eventually that car will pull on the straps, eventually loosening...

There are a lot of good oil choices out there, and Valvoline race oil is good. I'm not sure a lot of people research oil qualities as much as they should. If you own 15 cars, Rotella at 13 .00 a gallon is a very efficient use of funds and provides excellent protection.

This topic is an old one, the newer oils have a drain down feature that reduces lubrication . There is too much detergent,, dispersants,and friction modifiers in the new oil products. This is great for Increased fuel mileage in a newer engine, but old mopars don't like it. "Classic oils"has an...

I run 15-45 Rotella diesel for the zinc. 70 lbs cold, 45 hot. 440 magnum, or my 383 magnum. When I ran standard oil, I had 55 cold,25 hot, and it had a metallic sound I hated that. my engines are stock HP engines. That is all gone now.
