Actually X Hemi guy really helped me out via email. I forgot to post the info here. What was determined is that the WD was way to light for my trailer. Actually it was un-safe. Therefore it was like Ex was about to pull a wheelie. I took this info to the RV dealer that I bought the trailer and WD and negotiated a free Equalizer set up. Un-fortunately I have a blown head gasket and my truck goes to the dealer tomorrow. So I won't truly know that the problem has been taken care of until a week or so

How much is that gasket problem going to cost you?
I know what you mean with the wheelie. I have an old Jeep Waggoneer that I loaded up with bags of cement, NOT realizing that EACH was 80lbs. I put that thing on it's knees and it was so light in front, I could barely drive it.
Luckily a buddy of mine worked someplace halfway home so I stopped there and tossed half in the back of his truck for him to bring home.
Anyway, it seems you've gotten straightened out and I'm glad. Keep us posted and let's see some pics of your truck and RV please

The gasket issue will cost the $100 deduct via ford. Truck has only 45k on it. I hope this is it since it just came back with a new turbo.
As far as what it would cost w/o warranty, I don't even want to think about it.

Shouldn't that be covered under the 5yr 100k diesel powertrain warranty? Why is there a deductible?
