Oh and the one my buddy has is a 5 speed 3/4 ton 6.0 and he does a ton of towing. Are you sure there's not a version rated higher than 300? My take is that is not the reason at all...probably has something to do with emissions. That kind of thing happened all the time in the 70's....no four speed with certain motors.

The 6.0L/5-spd is only in the HD trucks and it's a different tranny (NV4500 instead of NV3500).

Thanks for looking for me, ts71281, but I'm looking for a 2wd.
