Havent got mine in yet but the grandfather got his HO auto about 2 mos ago. Friend of mine that owns the local lumberyard was out in his field pullin out some wagons of the mud (also a farmer) He has a 99 furd powerstroke. One was in deep and he couldnt get it out.. dually everything. We stop by ( not to help but one of the cases of right place right time) were like well want us to try and the cocky lil guy( not so lil his like 320 lbs but yeah) got all ****** and let us try because we didnt have a dually. he backed his truck out and with a lil effort we got it out ( part brains of back and forward to get momentum haha but hey we got it) Turn to brag and he had his truck stuck and we got the pleasure of pullin him out haha. Doesnt have all to do with the engine but sure pisses them off haha

 

Well he can't have a HO with an auto in it, they just started taking orders for them this month. If it is an auto its the standard out put.

 

That makes it even better

 

Hehe Sorry mopar your right. I just keep wishin and get reality mixed with it hehe

 

so does the new HO/auto combination have a heavier duty tranny or what?

 

The new 48RE tranny is much heavier throughout. See Luke S'sThread on this tranny.
