We too are on our 2nd Cedar Creek (also kept first one 10 years). We took our brand new 2019 unit straight to Orvan from the dealership....and he found and made some adjustments & repairs now for future issues that might arise. He was fantastic...showed us a few tricks.
WE pulled our 2009 32WRL Silverback, 14K GVW, with our 2008 GMC 2500 D/A. We were well over the trucks GVWR - I had added airbags when I bought the trailer and after about 5 years I added wider wheels and tires to increase that capacity. At times the trailer was pushing the truck - but I never had that "white Knuckle" feeling. I could feel some improvement when I added the wider tire/wheel combo. The truck had no problems stopping the trailer.
Our current CC Hathaway is much heavier (GVW is 16.3K), hence we have a 2017 GMC Dually D/A. Big improvement as far as stability goes. I also added disk brakes on this trailer....so the trailer can stop the truck.
I hope this helps. Good Luck,
Mike
