09 3500 6.7 manual 6spd
I now have 7,000 with several trips over the sierra hauling my toy hauler. toy hauler weighs in at over 9,000lbs. I find that the 6 spd manual and the exhaust brake are a great combination for crossing the mountains. When I returned from Sacramento yesterday snowing slippery and all was well. The dodge 4-wheel drive engagement works like butter with no grinding or knocking like I had in my 05 ford. Also when traveling in 4 wheel drive there isn't the typical transfer case whine either.
My only problem now seems to be the threat of getting a speeding ticket when traveling up hill..
Last week in northern Nevada our temps for the week never reached above 15 and were as low as -13. Starting without the plug was no problem. I did cycle the glow plugs twice but it fired with no hesitation.
