Pruchase 2005 -48re

Hi Diesel Owners

I Just Joined Your Club And I Would Appreciate Some Information Pronto? I Am Considering A 2005 Dodge 3500 Diesel, Single Wheels, 373 , With A 48re Transmission. About 40% Of The Time I Will Be Towing A 5th Wheeler Of About 14, 000 Lbs. With Repsect To The Following, Do You Have Any Suggestions Or Information?

1. Is The Transmission Strong Enough To Tow In The Rockies And The California Sierras? Will The Transmission Hold Down Long
Hills Without Buring Up Brakes?

2. Have You Heard Of Any Problems With 48re?

3. Any Experience With The Exhust Brakes? Dodge Has Not Yet Approved It?

4. Any Experience With Bank's Exhaust System? Has This Application Casued Any Rpoblems With The 48re?
