 @Mopar1973Man, I think he meant a 44 foot trailer not 44" tires.

@Mace, if that kind of power and beef is what your looking for why not buy a Dodge 4500 or 5500? You could get a standard wheelbase chassis and place a bed on it. It would come with the latest 6.7 cummins and very heavy axles as well.

    Vacuum would be my first thought as well.  Did you do anything with the vacuum lines on the axle?   I thought about a free spin kit but as I get older, I enjoy not having to get out and lock hubs.  I

I’ve considered newer Rams but they have a cad aam front diff which I don’t like. I really like the new f450 but no one makes a Cummins swap kit yet. Just can’t justify $100k + for a new truck. 

 

I’ve owned my truck since new so I’m trying to compete with trucks almost 25 years newer. It’s silly but I’m biased :)

 I agree with not wanting to drop 100k on a truck. Truck prices are insane. I'll just never tell anyone it's a good idea to get a ford either. Lol. Just my personal opinion

Well I’m swapping in a NP271D in soon with the Ford fixed yoke on the back, with a matching 1 piece driveshaft with 1480 ujoints (ours use 1410). Those are all ford ideas they run on their trucks.

 

Im not pro Ford I just like some of their ideas. Dodge seems to cheap out on what they call a “heavy duty” pickup. I shouldn’t compare to a 24 year spread it’s just frustrating for me haha.

 Also, tour comparing an f450 to a 3500 dodge. Naturally the heavier duty the truck the running gear will follow. Honestly they all have short comings somewhere. Personally I love my 2nd gen 3500 and wouldn't trade it even up for a brand new one.
