2007 diff choices

I think I read that 4.10 gear ratio is the highest . Which limits the 3500 or the c&c to 23,000 pounds. Is there any way to get higher CGWR than that.

It takes more than just gear to obtain a higher CGWR than 23,000, you also have to stop the load.

Doesn't the factory exhaust brake do wonders for that?

Legally the only way to do that is to add a tag axle.

Yep, wait another 3 or 4 months and buy one of the new 4500 or 5500's that are being introduced.

You better not be Joking. You know if Dodge would give the 6.7 cummins 750 tq like in the Ford 650-750. This could go down in history of the first time I bought something and left it stock
