Re:6spd means no plow package???
I have seen this plow question a few times now and here is my $.02 on this. I don't belive you can have a plow prep on a Q/C long bed because it exceeds the front axle weight rating. If you want a plow prep it has to be a regular cab or a Q/C with the short bed. I do not belive the transmission has anything to do with it. I currently have a '03 Q/C 2500 short bed with the factory plow prep and I have a 2500 regular cab ETH/48RE on order that also has a plow prep. The crazy thing is all the plow prep get's you is a skid plate for the transfer case because the diesels already have everything else heavy duty on them.

The dealer says you cant get the snow plow prep package with the 6spd diesel.<br><br>I confirmed it on the dodge site, looks like the reg cab can have it but not the QC short or long bed.<br><br>I am debating just skipping the plow package to keep the stick. The diesel gets the bigger batteries but I guess not the<br>bigger alternator ...

It looks like going with the 6spd means I am out of getting the 160 amp alternator or the skid plate. The skid plate can be added with protection group which means the only thing missing is the 160 amp alternator.<br><br>Any of you plow guys see this as a big problem???

Get the trailer tow and the bigger alternator is once again included.<br><br>Seems strange how DC decided to package the options on these trucks. <br><br>Never thought about it until now.

The dealers telling me that now snow plow prep package means no warranty if I put a plow on it. I cant believe that they would void the warranty over an alternator.
