So I'm unsure what you're asking. The automatic transmission on these years' trucks is a known issue. The only way to solve that is to pull the transmission and have it beefed up to handle the load/weight.
I have a 2001 Dodge Cummins dually with the six speed transmission. I'm pulling a 15,000 lb. toyhauler which it does very well.

The truck can do it, it just depends on if you want to spend the money to enable it to continue.
