If I swap a T56 into my truck...with 4.56 gears, will I still be able to tow and haul. I use the truck as a truck sometimes.

I know the GVRW on an SSR is 4750 lbs...my truck weighs like 5300lbs.

I carry engines and transmissions in the box and haul cars to the shop. Will this be a problem with the T56

I am looking for an M10 or an M12

I do not think you would have an issue with hauling the transmissions or engines. Pulling a trailer with a vehicle on it might be another issue. Personally, I would not do it.

Thanks for the reply
I may have to speak to some of the builders out there and see if they can do anything about towing

Thanks again

Dodge put the T56 into the SRT10 truck and Chevy put it into the SSR so its possible to use it as a tow vehicle. I'm just saying I would probably not. The weight of the truck + the weight of the trailer and additional car or pay load will far exceed the ratings for the T56. Its designed to be a car transmission.

Right on man...thanks again for the info.

I guess I could always just go buy a tow rig/ shop truck.

So from looking at the SRT-10;
It looks like I could carry 1200 pounds of payload and tow 6300 lbs
So a vehicle on a trailer is out...but I can still tow a decant size trailer.

Thanks again man.
