Q: transurgeon wrote go ahead do a full-throttle stall on the transmission of your choice for a full sixty seconds several times a month none of them will handle it without auxiliary cooling and regular fluid changes tc temps can spike in the 4-500 degree range under those conditions he need a realistic gear ratio in the ass-end and probably 4wd to deal with wet ramps plus a honking big cooler a 4wd pan if its 2wd and maybe a 50-50 mix of the recommended fluid and mobilone 5-20 synthetic engine oil in it we are actually in partial agreement here but this is also the reason why much earlier in the thread i stated to regear the truck because though the towed mileage may be short to ramp the stress of the ramp can be high and a tranny can realy heat up fast in a heavy stall and deeper gears do two things the tranny has to product less torque to the transmission cannot and does not produce torque please try to be precise in your explanations move the load and therefore less heat and strain too and the deeper gears gets tranny off of stall in the converter sooner and at a lower speed which equals less heat too and longer life. boat ramp duty with a big heavy boat is hard service especaily with a cc 1/2 ton truck not reallt geared for the load because it has the load of the truck too and since boat is likely a long term envestment a little more money to regear tow vehcial is well spent to enhance its abilties and relaibilty and enable owner to go on a few hunderd miles trip with boat sometimes if he wants to without concern for failures. i personally have no place in my driveway for a truck that is all look and no tow as that is one of the reason i hae a truck to begin with. -- posted using the http//www.autoforumz.com interface at authors request articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards topic url http//www.autoforumz.com/dodge-help-mod-2001-1500-quadcab-towing-22-motorboat-ftopict124505.html visit topic url to contact author reg. reqd. report abuse http//www.autoforumz.com/eform.phpp=608674 .
