Cummins Killer Bolt.
I have never thought of myself as unlucky, but now I don't know. I fixed the KDP on my 98 12V before any trouble as PM. My 2011 Durango ate the cam at about 90K. My 2018 3500 check engine light came on at 8800 miles. The dealer really didn't want to talk about it but they replaced the grid...- tgrfan2

CTD Flaw: Heater Grid Bolt
Actually, many drivers in cold climates turn on their lights to "warm up" the batteries before hitting them with the draw of a starter. I haven't read every post on this forum yet but questioning these questions about CTD problems seems over the top. I fixed the killer dowel pin on my '98 12...- tgrfan2

Removing 5th wheel hitch
I have done it several times with my old Reese slider and recently with my Companion slider puck system hitch. Sure beats hanging a rope in a tree for me.- tgrfan2

What’s your favorite flavor of cordless tools?
I bought my first yellow set back when 18V came out. I would say I abused them. The original batteries seemed the best of the 18Vs. I broke the handle on my 18V circular saw last fall and decided to go 20V brushless in yellow. If they last half as long as the 18s they will outlast me! I hate... -

Can I tow it?
I can tell you from experience a bigger truck on a TT won't solve that problem. Only sleeping pills or a fiver will help.- tgrfan2

Can the 3.73 do it
I wouldn't worry about it if you are towing it one time or even a few times. I drove my bro-in-laws Hemi pulling a 8500# TT and it did fine. I think you have an 8 speed tranny. That is 2 more gears than I have ever had! just use that dial!- tgrfan2

Air bags or the timber progressive bumpstops
I had a WDH on a 30 foot front kitchen Dutchmen and when I added air bags to my 95 2500 CTD I was able to do away with the WDH! My progression led me to a 98 12V with air bags and finally a 36 foot fiver with about 2800# of pin weight. 60# of air leveled the truck with both campers but as the...- tgrfan2

In desperate need of 5th wheel towing advise
You are correct that air bags don't increase the rated capacity of the truck. However, I have had two D 2500's with air bags to tow a 30 ft travel trailer, 36 ft fiver, and 40 ft equipment trailer. The air bags do a tremendous job. For those so concerned about all the intricacies of the DOT...- tgrfan2

In desperate need of 5th wheel towing advise
I pulled a 37 foot Montana (pin wgt. 2600#) for my brother with his 2019 2500 similar to yours and it did a fine job. Before I got my 2018 3500 CTD 4X2, I pulled my fiver with 2760# pin weight with a 98 2500 12V with air bags for thousands of miles. I am considering adding air bags to the '18...- tgrfan2
