New ram 3500
ok i got a question on the new ram 3500. i was reading this months issue of "diesel world 09/11" and they stated the rated towing capacities of the truck. 6.7L 6spd manual is rated for 14,050lbs(seems low) and the 6.7L 6spd auto is rated for 22,700(and even the payload is 80lbs different for auto). wow thats a difference of 8650lbs. why is there such a big difference? in my experience manual is the way to go. is it the clutch? maybe the stocker cant hold up? any and all input would be great. thanks

o ya it is very sad. it actually makes me kinda sick knowing that people cant drive what used to be called a "standard". and it seems whenever i show my truck to some one they get all giddy thats its a manual and automatically wish they had it. come on dodge get your head out of your sphincter and make it work!!!

Captain I think what the other gentelmen was saying is that past the stock hp the stock flywheel/clutch arent happy. With the H&S Mini maxx on my 6.7, the clutch is fine aslong as I stay on the first or second setting. Mine has 131k miles.

you know what CUSTOM your right, 7k trucks are hard to race, but i do beleave auto is faster but i bought my truck to get work done. not drag it at the strip, plus a stick makes it easier to fill up the cab of the prius with coal that is pissin me off!!!!
