I know what you mean, but my old company truck was a chevy 2500 with the 6.5l turbo diesel at 215hp with 440fpt and it pulled everything I wanted it to.

My new one is 385hp with 430fpt, doesn't get the greatest mileage, but she isn't happy unless she is pulling a heavy load it seems, then it all clicks together and she comes into her own.

My biggest thing is the manual locking hubs it came with, kind of a love/hate relationship with those. Unlocking them is nice for the wear and tear and mileage, but a PITA for when you need them in a thunderstorm and you have to lock them. That and I find people like to lock them when they walk by in parking lots on occasion, I so want to find the guy that does that to me...

Someone deserves a really good azz kicking.

I put lockouts on the Dodge when I changed the crummy plastic cage unit bearings. It is an expensive conversion but I wanted the lockouts. Yes, they are a PITA but wouel rather have them than not.
