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.
Neither does the auto really. I have the same running gear as you and I see zero difference in fuel mileage between 5th and 6th towing. I toe 20k with mine.
Ah Hah! A self confessed weight criminal. If you have the 342 rear end you are only supposed to Tow 18,000 lbs. (I think)
The Shame.
