Guys..I know this isn't really fountain related but I was just wondering what everyone pulling a 35' fountian Lightning is using. I am looking at a new Chevy 6.0 with 4.10 gears and I will put a lift on it but I am concerned about the tranny holding up. I will only be pulling the boat maybe 3 or 4 times a year a couple hundred miles each trip. I wan't for sure if there is anyone else out there using the same setup and how they like it. If this is not adequate I will go with the duraMAX and allison tranny. Any advice will be appreciated and thanks in advance.

You should be fine. May not set any speed records.
I pull my 32 with a 250 SD with the small 5.4 V-8 and 3.73 axles. No problem and could run 80 w/o a struggle.

Since you are not using the truck that much you should be fine even with larger tires. Make sure you have a trans cooler. I am pulling with a 2500HD with the Duramax/Allison and love it. It's a great package.

Should be good to go!

I pulled my 35 with 97 Ram 2500 285/16 ..4.10 gears (bigger tires reduce to about 3.90's) and 360 motor.

You'll be fine as stated above, I never tow in Overdrive. Did rear end last summer, that was needed.

and the idiot pulls his 42 now too. moron.

actually it is not too bad. You know it's back there and just putts along.

you will be fine

I used to pull my 27 with a f 250 powerstroke with 37" tires. It was fine with that, the 35 loaded with fuel was to hard on the tranny. I installed a hypermax programmer and it shifted better, but the tranny would peg at times even with the cooler. The truck only had 10000 on it

I agree with the crowd, you should be fine. Silly us bought a 35 Lightning last year and thought we would go through the summer with our Suburban....1500, next week got the 2500 HD Dura/Allison setup gotta make sure we can put a 42 some day

Tow it and have a great summer

Go with the Diesel!
