    @Crshanta, thats pretty much what I've been doing.

    I pulled a 25ft 3 horse trailer (fully loaded w/ gear and everything), and she just kept going.

    I am on 35's w/ 2.5 leveling and factory bags, but she pulled like a train.

    My 04 3500 NV5600 just pulled 10k of coal on my car trailer and another 2k on the bed, which I do have Airlift bags on that (I have a bed I built for welding plus my welder and my tools/etc. in my wells) and I will say that pulled easier than my '17 with the 68RFE so a swap may be coming in the future.

    I'll have to find a picture of it loaded and put it up.

    2017 2500 Red Tradesman on 35" Treadwright Guard-dogs mounted on 17' Method NV HD's, 2.5" Leveling kit with upgraded Bil's all the way around, AMP'd Research Steps, Ez-Lynk/5" Turbo back, Billet Grille, Blacked out Headlight Housings with added LED outer shroud, B&W Gooseneck Turn-over ball. Much Much more to come..

    I cheated.

    Special ordered mine truck new with a G56.

    Of course, the stock clutch slipped at about 50K.

    Southbend in it now.

    2017 was rated for 900 ft lbs if you have a 3500 and Aisin; the G56 units were rated for less, but I am certain it was because of the stock weak clutch.

    I love my handshaker.

    Installed the big black Genos shift knob on it, which has the Cummins logo in it.

    No one wants to drive it, manual and no shift pattern on the knob

    Millennial theft device is what we call them at work.

    This one.

    I'm actually in the insurance business - we had a claim from one of my customers of a break-in in his 2016 2500 with G56.

    The crooks popped the door open and had it running but must have taken too long to figure out how to get it moving because they ran and left the truck running (they went through the glovebox and console before leaving)

    The adjuster said he sees it all the time with 3-pedal vehicles, break-ins happen, but vehicle theft doesn't, LOL.
