I used to live in Denver Colorado before I retired and we regularly went west into mountains and doing so ended up on some long uphill pulls climbing to the passes. With my 2010 2500 Big Horn I noticed after a few trips to Eleven Mile State Park that the factory paint had curled up and basically...
Possibly, however, since there was no rpm increase when I pressed foot pedal, just a little change in engine sound, I'm still wondering if it was transmission related as in still in higher gear. I keep reading about 68RFE valve body's having some fluid pressure leak over to OD clutch as well...
I didn't have sway control on the wdh I used on the TT I had two trailers ago. Had a little movement passing or being passed by semis but didn't really bother me.
On another note, I was on an Airstream forum where the topic was wdh's. There was some commentary about how a wdh can be considered...
Thinking 26' - 28' Airstream but won't make the switch for another six months at least.
I plan on trying without WDH to start and see how it does. I have an 8' x 16' cargo trailer that I have pulled over 8000 miles while heavily loaded with no wdh and experienced no sway issues at all.
Just keep your ears open. If it's anything like mine the noise is unmistakable roar from under the hood. Might even call ot a howl depending on the fan itself.

All, Twice this year now I have experienced a very short duration (less than 5 seconds) situation where after decelerating without braking, when I get back into the throttle, I have no power. I hear a slight change in engine noise but no rpm increase. After I release...
If you are not hearing the fan ramp up and get really noisy as your temp guage passes about 210 to 215, and certainly by the time it reaches 220 I think it likely has failed. Do you ever hear the fan come on?
After reading most of the posts I agree that using tow mode is a good idea.
Currently I have a 2016 Laramie, 6.7 Cummins, 68 RFE, SRW, long bed. 68 RFE is 6 speed, 4th is direct so 6th is double over.
I tow a 9000 lb 5th wheel and my habit has evolved to trying to avoid a downshift on a hard...
Hello,
I am currently towing a 9000 lb 5th wheel camper with 2016 3500 Laramie, 6.7 and 68FRE. Truck does a great job with this trailer but I'm considering trading for a much lighter 7300 LB GVWR travel trailer.
I considering trying the lighter trailer without using a wd hitch. My 2016 3500...
