Depends on the trans.

 

My truck has an NV3500

 

If you don't go crazy, or tow beyond the trucks rated capacity, you should be ok.

My comment was more toward which is better. I would rather have the 46RE than something like the t-5 that GM used.

 

Yeah I don’t plan to over load it. Just haul what I have to. Thanks for all the info.

 

There is no auto transmission that I would rather tow with than a manual.

 

In the hilly country that I live in, and some of the heavy loads I used to haul, an auto made my life MUCH easier.

 

With all this manual talk anyone recommend a good clutch?

 

Have a read here. I would be tempted to go with the Ram clutch, just because.... Ram.

 

Luk has the entire package. Excellent quality.

 

I got just under 100k out of the factory clutch… replaced it with a RAM Power-Grip clutch and it’s still going strong at over 220k (120k+ on the clutch), so I’m happy enough.

As a side note: the stock clutch has (I believe) an 11” disc… the 12” disc version works just fine.
