A 1500 truck can do it and so can an SUV, but the 2500 does it better. I also like the idea of full-floating rear and would want that. The single rear 3500 I had drove and rode nice as a 1500, so it wasn't overkill but it was better

I know Tim, the heavy Duramax for sure as the weight over comes the bumps

WE have a couple of the Ram 2500's with the 6.4, and they pull a lot stronger than the 6.0 GM trucks.
Sounds like a Dodge commercial don't it? I have had several chances to move to a new truck, but I'm more than satisfied with my old Duramax.

Yes it does sound like a commercial..but a argued point to the good.. you are going to laugh at what I have in mind doing ,, who knows it might work to get me a newer truck than what I want to spend on ??? Changed my mind ,,I will try it and then tell you if it worked.. stay tuned
