    Upgrading 2500 5.9l rear axle to dually?

    I want to upgrade my rear axle to dually from 3500. But then I started wondering about if I upgraded it from a 4500 or a 5500? Never seen it done or talked about. Would it be possible by just buying all new 19.5 wheels and tires? Obviously I would be limited by my frame but I’m still...

    48RE trouble shifting into overdrive early

    Recently been having some trouble with my 5.9 cummins 48re. Sometimes when I am driving it will go 1st, 2nd, then overdrive…. Then kick down to like 3rd. Is my transmission failing? Or does a small piece need to be changed?
