You guys have great suggestions. Love the feedback.
If I went with 6.7 diesel engine and the heavy duty AISIN trans, it would have to be in a 3500. Seems it's only offered that way.

I test drove a SRW 3500 with the AISIN today. Lots of power. Sorry, I didn't notice the axle ratio, but I bet 3.42's would do just fine.
