New to DTR, Howdy to All
Hi folks. I am new here.
I have an 02 Dodge. Stock except for the clutch. (Love my South Bend clutch) which I am looking to upgrade for the purposes of hauling heavy weight long distances. 6000 miles each trip.
I am interested in upgrading the NV4500 trans to a NV5600 or G56 transmission. (I am somewhat mechanically incline) I am looking into obtaining the highest fuel efficiency while gaining HP and Torque. I also want reliability.
My truck runs great, but slow to get up to speed when pulling. ( I don't force the engine to pull hard)
Unloaded, I get about 20 mpg. Loaded, the last load I pulled was about 11,000 Lbs and I got about 09 mpg to 11 mpg. (Given, I was in the Dekotas hauling over hills.
Would like help with possible upgrades to bullet proof my truck.
Maybe a mild upgrade would do the trick?? Need help.
Thanks much
Dr. Evil

Dr. Evil vs Dr Evil
Remember this. I am the Real Dr Evil.
I didn't go to evil school to be called Mr. Righhhhhhhht.
I have been since 1997. I actually became Dr Evil before the movie. It
happened at a race and the name stuck.
Don't make me get my sharks with frekin laser beams attached to their heads
after you..
I also don't have il tempered sea bass. I have an il tempered Rottweiler.
New and improved. can go either on land or sea..
All joking aside. After I logged on and started to read, I saw your ID and
started to laugh. I thought I had already logged onto this site and I forgot
my user ID and password. I have done this with some sites.
Anyway. I am looking forward to discussing dodges and how to make them
better, faster, stronger, higher mileage without damage.
Thanks much.

Was confused when I saw your post because I knew that Dr. Evil has been a member for a long time, now it all makes sense...
regardless, welcome to the site.. plenty of info to be learned here as long as you don't mind reading for hours and hours on end..

Sorry for the confusion. Two is always better than one, unless we are talking
things like:
Two Life sentences.
Getting hit by two cars.
and Two shots of burbon.
But instead of 1 We now want...........
Two....... Two hundred billion Dollars....
