I dont know about that swap. The 4500 is ALOT bigger, heavier and all around stouter than a 3500 and will deffinately negatively affect your mileage. I would stick with the 3500 unless you are planning a V-8 swap of some sort.

On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
theres a reason the 2500 frame is taller than the 1500 frame. you planning on building a new transmission tunnel?
edit- sorry to kill your hopes of actually doing some building in your build up thread.
85 lbs difference, i doubt you would ever notice that in mileage.

Parasitic drag from the larger gears and bearings. I have a hard time believing the steel cased 4500 only weighs 85 lbs more than the aluminum cased 3500 too.

110 lbs vs 195 lbs.

no, im just saying an automatic is much nicer in a DD
no, it depends on the application. im much happier with a manual then an auto constantly jacking off.
then you should put a manual transmission in your hybrid
Tonight I witnessed what I believe to be the death of a manual transmission.
