I've got a 2001 cummins HO with an auto and haul about 2700lbs to 3200lbs. in the bed three times a week, up a pretty good sized hill, in snow up to my neck, (both ways) and been trying to smoke the tranny cuz I've heard so much about how weak they are. No luck smokin it yet.
Now, I have freinds who tow and have burned the tranny. So I figure that there must be something different between hauling heavy and towing heavy with these trannys. I also have wondered if gear ratios play a part on which ones will burn and which ones won't. I don't know, maybe I've just been luckey. I would have still perfered the 6 speed, dealer didn't have any left.
