The maintenance schedule is not any more complicated or exspensive than it was for 2008 or 2009. Fuel filter is actually easier to change than it was in the past it is now a top load catridge that can be changed without raising the vehicle or getting under the vehicle. The exhaust filter or DPF if allowed to do regens is self maintaining.

I got a dually w/ a 4.10 axle towing what you recommend and I'm burning my trans out here in the west on the grades. What's going on?
If your trans temp is too high, it's likely due to the duty cycle you are running the truck at. Is your weight greater than the rated GCVW? Are you towing at low speeds or doing repetitive launches on grades?

If you are towing at reasonable speeds (say, 40-45 mph or greater), then your torque converter clutch should be engaging, which will greatly reduce the heat generated within the trans system. If, however, you are towing at low speeds (15-20 mph) on steep grades, where the TCC is not engaging, that can result in trans overheat. If your truck is a 4x4, I'd recommend driving in 4LO range when you're on steep grades at low speeds. That will allow the TCC to engage and will greatly reduce your trans temp. Otherwise, adding an auxiliary trans cooler would be a good idea.

I really think you need to be more competive with the Ford Super Duty. They offer everything I've asked for here. Dual batteries, Flat load floors, PTO's, Factory spray in bed liners, power outlets in the bed, available manual ft Hubs & Camper certificates add up to Truck status, so far you've offered a rough riding car...I love my Ram, but....really guys, at this point it still sounds like 3rd place is the best you'll ever achieve
