Yes it's impossible to not have the safety police or the weight police come out. If the OP was pulling his 10K trailer with a F350 PU everything would be fine but put it behind a longer and heavier TV and the world is going to end... NOT. His frame and hitch is not stock. He is under his combine weight rating and probably using WD to shift some of the load off the rear. Not sure how having a CDL is going to educate him or me that this is not safe. Yes, I have a CDL, yes I've strengthen many a hitch so be careful in Blairsville if you see a silver/grey F350 with a heck of a load behind it as it could be me.
While going against the curve... the Cat 3126 engine at 300+ HP is not one of the "cat is the most durable engine on the road" as they rarely make 400K miles... not that in a MH it makes any difference.
*OP, I'll try again. In 96-2004 a MH with a 300 HP Cummins is probably the 8.3L engine that will have 3-400 more torque than the Cat 3126. Around 05 the little 5.9L ISB got up to 300 HP and the ISC went on up to 350+. Torque is more important than the HP, especially with Cummins having two engines that were both rated at 300 HP but the torque is 660 on one and 1000 on the other.
