- side notes to the sand throwing contest so far - I read that the FLT guys contacted Chrysler about the 6.4's performance - apparently the engine is programmed to settle back into a climbing rpm to pull a long grade if the driver holds it in racer mode rather than truck driver mode - pedal to the rug - revving to the governor try an upshift - no can't pull that gear - downshift- rev to the governor and repeat... its not really designed as a hill racer it behaves more like a truck engine...
ib516 - thanks for digging up the correct information around what I was trying to say back on page 5 regarding how the 6.4 is programmed to work on long grades...
To the OP - we use an AirSafe suspension receiver hitch for towing light trailers with our 3500 so the ton truck doesn't beat on the trailer on rough roads, bridge decks, and RR tracks. It is a great piece of kit...you can see the trailer front working 3 to 4 inches of travel independent of the pickup.
