OOh ok, yeah I think that might be your truck specific haha... I don't know about anyone else on here but I actually took my truck on an offroad course made for jeeps 2 years ago (big mistake) and accidentally wound up on the expert course (bigger mistake), needless to say I went up some steep climbs in 4x4 and was pushing so hard I started overheating but never any oil smells. That's not the same situation but very similar with the stress and being in a low gear up a hill for a long time.
As far as rear disc brakes conversion... there is a kit out there for over $3 grand... I don't reccomend it.

I would think trailer brakes would be a better idea... if your truck didnt come with the factory plug, I still have mine. it has the paperwork and all still. (it plugs into "something" under the dash and allows you to hook up a trailer brake easy.) I can get a pic if you need. thats open to anyone. pay to get it to your house, and you can have it. (ie. shipping)

I love the Dak/Raider. Why get a Ram and pay more monthly when you can have your mean Dak haul just as much.

I have a trailer brake connector in the truck, somewhere...
The trailers I've had connected that had brakes used the 'surge' style. One worked okay. One seemed to lock up every time. So I'm not sure if that's the right way to go...

I'm planning on doing the same. I had one on my last truck. It gives you a peice of mind knowing what's going on with the tranny.
