    Thanks, but we are good, my son grabbed a bunch of his buddies to supplement my regular help so I am good. I will keep you in mind if I get in a bind.

    I don't know much about the aison, in my '02 2500 I put a allison transmission to my 5.9l cummins Upgraded the injectors and lift pump. replaced the intake and exhaust. The exhaust is 5" and I also added an exhaust brake. Upgraded the intercooler. The rear axle was upgraded and runs 19.5's.

    My buddy hauls 15,000lbs with his on the same set up regularly and is pushing 800,000 miles with very low maintenance. I am at a little over 550,000. My biggest issues has been the front steering gear box, ball joints before i upgraded those too, and the a/c. 1 more component and we might as well call it new.

    I say this to say, these trucks can be very good when built correctly. One thing is to treat the truck like it's your new born baby.. I don't go 75 when i see a 75, i say at 60 in the slow lane (better fuel mileage and not as hard on parts.) If your all highway for the day in ideal conditions you could go 660 miles at 11 hours on the driving clock. 500-550 miles is probably most accurate in most cases though...

    I had some idiot trying to tell me his 3500 could pull 40,000 on top of the trucks weight. Let's steer clear of him LOL. His day will come.

    I have an answer. It is not possible. Do your deligency. Rates are low as .21 cpm as high as .75 cpm. study, that is what I have to tell you. Bydoway, if you planing in working with your truck you will need a Commercial License, that gives you the right to work, and a commercial insurance. The last time I check mine it cost me 15k a year.
