2500HD is lighter in physical weight, that's why it is cheaper. Stupid but true, it's all about paying for the roads.
Just got home from running garbage to the transfer station. The truck sure sounds good with one of the exhaust pipes off of the downpipe, but it is much too loud because it exits right in front of the cab lolol...
I'll have it welded then it'll be fixed permanently.
Sure is fun to drive the Dodge though.
Changed manual transmission fluid today, was a dark brown, but no metal shavings. The synchros were starting to make a little more noise with it and it was full so I just changed it figuring the fluid needed it. Much smoother now, but we will see how long that lasts. Next time it gets Amsoil. I also need to change transfer case fluid but I didn't have enough fluid or the time to do it today.

Your state is retarded. Here, the tax goes by weight, however, I think that if your truck is upped in rated capacity, your tax goes up.
You're running a NP240HD t-case, right? Gonna put in ATF4 or gear oil?
No, most people run Amsoil in them, I just couldn't get it fast enough so I bought Mopar synthetic, the same stuff they came with from the factory, but I'm suspicious my trans is getting hotter than that fluid likes, not overheating mind you, but the Mopar fluid can't handle as much.
And just for future note to those who might read this: NEVER EVER EVER for ANY REASON use Mobils stuff for the NV4500 UNLESS IT IS A DIRE EMERGENCY, change it out ASAP for Amsoil or Mopar.

I noticed it had the p pump on it, first thing I noticed.
You gonna get us another video when you're done with the exhaust again?

What if you put a small trans cooler on it and maybe had a bypass you could plug in during the winter so it doesn't get too cold?

And yes my state is retarded.
I will get a complete tour video once all the lights and interior are fixed up.

Certainly interested in it if the money works out.

I have a NP241DLD diesel version. Run Dex Merc. Nothing else will work.
