Re:Ready to order my '03 Dually - vote for 4.10's, 3.55's

[quote author=reverend-ron link=board=20;threadid=5973;start=0#53982 date=1034816433]<br>I tow a 7x14 enclosed trailer with my Harley, clothes and other personal effects. I would guess the weight to be ? 7,000 lbs ?? One day I hope to buy a 36' 5th wheel but don't know if that'll ever happen ($40K). Also, once I get to a job with my trailer, I'm there weeks on end and use the truck to get home to Mama. My average highway speed I prefer is 70-75 mph - Johnny Law permitting ....<br>My current is a '01 HO-6spd, quadcab dually with 4.10's ... I wish for better mpg and just feel like the CUMMINS has enough bal*s that 3.55's doesn't matter to take off in 1st gear with a rolling load. Now if you're trying to pull a building off it's foundation, I agree that 4.10's would be best. To get a rolling load rolling though .... shouldn't the 3.55's coupled with the Cummins be enough?<br>Thanks for your inputs,<br>The Rev Ron<br><br>[/quote]<br><br>that is a sweet truck. You going to keep it or sell it?
