What about a limited slip differential?
If you are going to tow did you get the 3.91 gears?
And don't forget the heavy duty cooling - oil and transmission.
Wait don't forget the HD package.
You will need/want theses things. If you haven't ordered them change the order. They are worth the money

Did you get the other items I listed?

Get all the items I listed if you are going to tow. Anyone who tows reguarly will tell you to get them. The 3.92 will tows more. do an internets search to find the info.

Straight from my list what I got:
ATS - 5-45RFE
3.55 Axle Ratio
Anti-Spin Diff Rear Axle
Cloth Bucket seats
6 way power driver seat
heated seats (in Canada is Cold LOL)
4 wheel ABS Breaks
6 Infinity speakers with 6 disc CD-MP3 player
Convenience group
Rear sliding window
Skid plates
Trailer HD Tow Group(which includes all the coolers)
Under rail box Bedliner

So what is the major advantage of 3.55 and 3.92 axle ratios.
THX
Matt

Do you know if the 6 speed tranny is available now or does it not come out for a few months. I tried configuring one on the Dodge website but i couldn't put a 6 speed on it.
