I do have a tune(but still running the black box pcm) on my 99
I don’t have a time on my 96. It has a real transmission, and a 4.88 axle.

All my towing since I got out of the service in '92 (except the above mentioned 88 cc) has been with a 5.9 Cummins. I performed my first conversion in 1995 as I hated the Ram body. Put it in a 93 K3500 CC that dad had already blown up the 6.5 in.
Currently I am running a Cummins powered Chevy and have an 06 megacab Dodge. I hate the ISB Cummins. As soon as I finish my 88 CC SRW Cummins Conversion the Megacab will be sold, as the only thing I like about it is the G56 trans.
In 05-06 I considered buying a new Chevy with a D Max, but GM would not build one with a standard transmission by then. I don't pull with automatics. I always hear from people I know about how much their Dmax/Allison or Powerstroke will pull. I have "unhitched the wagon" from my truck on 8-10 different occasions, but have yet to ever have one of their trucks back under neck of my trailer once they see it.
