3 73 vs 4 10
I have a very similar 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 SWB 4 x 4 Cummins HO. I have the 3.55 gears and am VERY happy with it. I occasionally tow the boat you can see in my profile pictures which weighs around 8,500 lbs. and have no problems at all. I also tow my trailer mowers and occasionally the 4410. Most other times I run empty. As long as I stay around 50 mph, I get about 23 mpg. I strongly recommend you get the 3.73 gears. They are a good compromise between the 3.55's and the 4.10's. I also strongly recommend you get the limited slip differential. My opinion on why no 20 inch wheels is a that they are not as strong as the 8 lug wheels. I would VERY strongly recommend you try to negotiate in the cost and installation of a "Jake Brake". They are GREAT for towing and save your vehicle brakes like you would not believe!
The 3.73's are a great choice for occasional heavy towing and regualar moderate towing. The NV5600 six speed transmission will give you enough gear ranges to choose from and you may have to shift between 5th and 6th more when towing heavy. You are getting a FINE truck with a monster pulling engine.

The Allison 1000 series transmission is a GM transmission which comes on the Duramax diesel. Dodge offers a 48RE automatic transmission which still has its design issues it is working through. The Allison transmission has its problems as well.
