Advice on 2005 Dodge - new for me
HI Guys,
Have moved from 93 1 ton dually with 410's to 2004.5 1 t\ton with 3.73's 4x.What I read is starting to scare me about the newer trucks. with my 93 I put a . low stall tc in it at 18,000 kms ,a temperature sender in the trany oil pan,boost guage and egt guage aI also put an inline oil cooler for the tranny and have pulled my 30 ft trailer for over 330,000 kms with only having to replace a the Bosch pump and other normal maintence. We now plan on towing a new 5er -34 foot with the 2005 dodge.

I don't really want to make any modifications to the engine. What other things can I do to assist the transmission on this new truck.
Any help would be appreciated.

I take it you have an automatic. Its actually a pretty good tranny. The same year Fords and the same year Allisons have a higher failure rate. No real need to worry about this tranny IMHO.
