Conversation Between rvpuller and rwhawk

I've just joined FTE. How do I post a question in a forum?
I have a 1999 F-250 crew cab diesel SRW w/ 2WD and pull a 36' HitchHiker which is about 16,000lbs. The GCVW is 23,000lbs and the truck is rated for 20,000 lbs. I'm now considering a 2005-2007 6.0 diesel DRW and 2WD crew cab that is rated for this trailer. You have the V10 and I'd consider that engine as well since the rating is close to that for the diesel. With the diesel, however, the 4.10 axle ratio to me would be better than the 3.73. Any thoughts on one Vs the other? What would be the advantages of going with the V10?
I know with the diesel I will have to make sure it is Bullet Proofed. What modifications are needed with the V10?
