I think longer trailers are easier to pull. More fun anyway.

Got the call a little bit ago. Blew a hole in the IPR screen. That's two of those little *******s in 30K miles. I went ahead and had him do the HPOP while he was there. He gave me a pretty good deal on parts and labor, $1200 for IPR, HPOP fuel filters, oil change with T6, updated turbo drain line. So, with this done, I have an entirely new HPO system. I'm paying for peace of mind and having the truck back tomorrow night. Whatever....it's only money, can't take it with you! I can't have this thing crapping the bed while traveling with the family so, I'm choosing the time and location of repairs. The original HPOP has had a good life, 244K miles, so it's time to change it.
