No surprise! They are showing up everywhere, Ambulances wreckers and many other applications. Just a great MD truck.

And you too can have the same Medium Duty 6.7 Cummins engine Medium Duty Aisin Transmission in a RAM 3500 SRW DRW pickup truck.

I do!

Even Fish thinks mine is a 4500! :B

Courtesy of Ford themselves:)...They had to use a 4500 to compete with Ram's 3500 towing numbers, so they just stated that the 3500, in their view was a 4500...so, if Ford said it, it must be true,,,,,And "the" Fisher had the word on passed on to him from a cousin of a friends sisters, brother, whose Aunt heard it from a distant friend in Timbuktu..so, it must be true:)

All too funny and true at the same time.

Fact is the F350 Dully would not pass the SAE J2807 standards. They won't until they step up and build a NEW truck since the SD is basically the same truck since 1999 with some lipstick to try and keep up with the competition. Some day the smoke and mirrors will finally fade away and they will build a new truck that will meet the independent standards they "claim" to meet. The SD was a good platform in 1999, I think they have milked it long enough.
