Turns out Mitch thought the truck needed a cooler for the transmission. So he added a cute little radiator that sits in front of the original radiator. Incidentally, the gear ratio turned out to be the one with a towing capacity of about 5850 pounds, less than I was hoping, but sufficient to pull the trailer without any trouble, he says. The trouble that he and the Dodge dealer both indicate I'll face is that 18-wheelers will blow me off the road. I'm having an equalizer installed on the hitch by the RV dealer, and that's supposed to provide sufficient stability to keep us from ending up in a ditch, but we'll have to make sure before we head for the north country.
