Tow haul question
My last 2 diesels were equipped with a manual tranny - best thing for mountain towing. Now in my new 3500 it has the Aisin tranny with a 342 rear end. I will be towing a tow hauler TT of about 11,0...

Whatever floats you boat, but asking a transmission to operate at 1200 RPM while towing a load is what the engineers consider abuse and installed tow/haul mode for those that care.
Maybe I should have stayed with a manual tranny. They don't care what rpm the engine is running.
Good luck finding a manual anymore. I just bought a 17 F-150 and would have liked a manual, but it can't come that way.
(I wanted it as a theft deterent device. Young folks today can't drive a stick, except for my kids. It is now a point of pride for them. For them, it was learn on a stick or don't learn as that was what we had.)
