Does that mean you got stuck with coil springs on the rear and the 68rfe?

Yes on both. It has a lot stiffer suspension lodes than the Ford. The tow capacity is 19100 if I looked at the chart right. I don’t mind the 68. It’s easily built and tuned. Coil springs I’m still not sure of.

That’s probably going to have to happen.

Don’t get caught that’s a heck of a fine they’ve been tossing out, I know on some of the equipment that’s been deleted and tuned has burnt the engine down.

Scary with a load in the bed. I would say that airbags are a must on the 2500.

No I haven’t seen a new one on any lot. I would consider it but the highway cruising rpm was awful the last one I had with 3.73 gears.
No more 6 speed manuals in the ‘19-up trucks... they discontinued the manual trans.

Standard one. They didn’t have any 3500s left there with the employee pricing discounts. It’s a slug compared to the power stroke honestly.
I’d guess that the 1000 lb. ft. trucks are probably pretty fast.

I would hope so. At least loaded up with a big trailer or camper. That was what I wanted but the area had been depleted of new ones the past few weeks.

I would bet these trucks are cooler running deleted. I know I’ve heard weird popping noises when stopping while in regen that made me wonder if it would be on fire when I came back out. I wish they’d roll back the standards to 2010 or even 2007 and let these engines be long lasting like we buy them for.

The tier 4 stuff with def you don’t see the issues in that big 9 liter we were told 20k hours is the expected life of them.

My Ford was getting into 6-8 gallons of DEF every 2500 miles not towing anything. Constant regents and horrible mileage compared to what it was getting. It’s not a major problem til it gets full and leaves me stranded in Kadoka South Dakota or something place like that.
