I too have a 2005, 3500, but mine is single rear wheel. Wife and I took it from So. Cal., across 7 states, and four mountain ranges. The 48 RE trans was rebuilt 6 months before the trip with triple disc torque converter, modded valve body, billet in and out shafts, and extra high capacity clutches.
I have just over 220,000 , and when we went on our trip we went over 11,000 miles of the west. From Yellowstone to Badlands, most of Utah, all of Oregon, and Washington, most of both South, and North Dakota, Montana, and Idaho. It also pulls a 28 ft 4 horse with living quarters trailer here in the desert south west for shows and horse camping. So, ... yeah! The 05 is a good year, and has been pulling like a champ. ( I would LOVE a PXRB exhaust brake, as I do replace pads, and rotors about every 50,000.)
