This may sound like a really stupid question but here goes, If I swapped to the 17", would there be any danger in me burning up my rear-end or frying my tranny? I was talking to a guy about it and he said, "You better not do that!! That truck was designed to run 18" rims and you'll mess up your tranny and rear-end if you change rim & tire sizes." I thought that was a load of crap. Am I right? Any help would be appreciated.

Don't listen to that guy, he's the same one that used to give me wheel & tire advice. Every one else be on the look out and don't take any advice from the guy pictured below!
