Hey everyone, I'll try to make this short and sweet.
I came across a 03' 3500 Diesel SRW 5 speed 4x4 with the 5.9 cummins. I am working into starting a hotshot trucking business (so lots of Km's and heavy towing).
We're the 5 speed (NV4500) reliable / strong enough frequent towing?
Also is a dually axle swap possible or even worth the time?

Do you know the history on it? I do not know a lot about the nv4500 but pretty sure they have issues with the 5th gear nut so I would look into that. Make sure you have a good clutch for what you want to do. I would call Valair and tell them what you wanna do and such so they can get you set up with an ideal clutch.
