Boy am I glad I found this Q&A. Did a specific search for Dodge 3:42 Gear Versus Dodge 3.73 Gear.
A two for one answer. The information WRT to the DEF is Great. I talked to a salesman yesterday and he said that I put it at every oil change, 8K or so. Chuckle
The Gear question was why I was skulking around. We have not purchased our fifth wheel yet, and are working towards full timing. Our Dream trailer so far is a Montana 3735MK. It has a gross weight of 16,000 and is a hare over 39'.
My truck research shows that a SRW Dodge 3500 with a 3:42 Gear will pull 16,800 if all the other numbers stay in line.
What I can't find is the Max Tow with 3:73 and 4:10's. OBTW, The info on the 4:10's was great too. I Really Really wanted to stay with the 3:73, but rethinking that now.
Any thoughts or opinions will be nice to hear.

All new Ram SRWs with the Cummins come with 3.42. You will need to go DRW to get 3.73 or 4.10.
