3 tons - take a look at a company in Florida called Custom Automatic Conversions they specialize in Allison to Cummins engine work.
Fewer and fewer people are making that mistake.
Swapping in an Allison is a $10,000++ proposition and itโs not worth it.
A properly built 47RE Dodge trans is actually stronger.
The bad reputation is all from people throwing power and weight at stock ones.
Consider this: a whole lot of Chevy race trucks running Duramax engines have Dodge 47REs swapped into them!!
Spend $5000-$7000 on building the Dodge trans instead.

Thanks specta - I've owned 5 various campers and all were c of g ahead of the rear axle on 2006 and 2012 trucks.
I always want tow capability with my camper so I look for c of g as far ahead as possible.
Learn something every day. ๐

Kayteg1 - who built your truck camper with a c of g that removes weight from the steer axle and why would they do that do you think?
My camper loaded for camping removes 100 lbs off the steer axle.

That new 7.3 is way above the old 7.5 460 gasser.. I am impressed.
My f250 with it's 4100lb camper on and towing a 2500lb trailer or a 2,000 lb toad it pulled quite good but on some real steep curvy roads it was close to running out of power! Like coming out of Shelter Cove Calif.. and some other places.. 4.10 rear and E4od trans.
Old 7.5 205-275 hp and 345-375 torque
New 7.3 430 hp and 475 torque!
That is some impressive numbers!

Haw, If I was a youngster like you I would have not one of these but a nice Dodge with a great diesel.. and a 6 speed Alison trans.. That is my want... Skipro3's truck to me is a great rig.
Ok, Iโm looking forward to seeing one in your driveway!!

The tires on my F350 dually give it 18,000 lb capacity.
Rear axle was derated from what I heard. so taxable 14,900lb is way below actual capabilities.
That still doesn't show their knowledge about TC use.
Please post the stock tires and wheels you have on your f350 drw thatt are rated at 4500 pounds each in dual application.
Hold your horses...
Add up all 6 tires is what he meant.
