68RFE failed at stock levels. So can a head gasket.
It can go with power upgrade or at stock levels. You do your best to drive correctly and hope for the best.
I posted here as I thought there would be a lot of folks experienced in towing with Rams to provide experienced advise.
I didn't expect all this silly sniping at what I was asking.
So far, no one has provided any reasonable explanation on why or why not a 2011 Ram 3500 SRW can be upgraded to have the same rated towing ability as 2013 Ram 2500 via tire/possible cooling upgrades (both easily done and can be upgraded to better than 2013 tire/cooling ratings.
If there is a good explanation for this, I'm all ears.

I have way more power than your 2013 DEF 6.7 motor with my H&S tuned 6.7. Power/tranny is not the issue, try again.
Check back with us when your truck is getting a beefed up 68RFE tranny and how much it cost you! Chris
