I hauled 12k with the 6.4L/4.10 axles combo and didn't have any of the issues described above with inadequate power.
The 5.7 has plenty of power it just isn’t able to use it because of the poor transmission gearing. Highway cruising with the tt it would be in 4th all the time. Only time it would go into 5th would be downhill with a tailwind. Even non towing it couldn’t hold speed on even the slightest incline. It would drop 6-8mph before it would finally downshift but then it would drop 2 gears and go like a bat out of hell. Very annoying.
