I have been spending a lot of time on line reading through various forums trying to read through the self proclaimed expert replies. I have found the following and am trying to figure out where I fit in.
General RV forums: I don't have enough truck to do the job (what was I thinking??)
Heartland forum: My truck will do the job just not as nicely as a F450/550 would. Everyone here is familiar with the weights of Heartland products and has experience.
Powerstroke forum: No problem with the truck but my transmission is going to shell out. My Edge programmer does nothing for my tranny which is surprising to me because it has a tow mode.
I'll admit that if I had my way I would opt for a bigger truck but the reality is I constantly remind myself that at least in my case I will be towing for recreation and not cross country full-timing it. When I'm not towing, which will be 85% of the time, I need a vehicle to get around town.
Has anyone had any tranny related issues with a heavy TH?
