I have a utility bed on a 5500 with a 12' cab over camper on back. My weight is 18000 and under my gvw. No problems for 10k till now. The bed mounts had issues and had to be re-done. Thus the bed and tank had to be removed and reinstalled. I was in boonies when lost first cap. A mechanic at dealer claimed cap didn't matter. I found drain petcock on first fuel filter loose too.
Loose drain petcock will suck air into the fuel and starve the fuel injection system. Tighten petcock, and run with cap off, see if problem is solved. Put cap back on, see if it's starved for fuel under same conditions. If it was doing the same thing before the fuel filters were changed, but only since you installed a gas cap instead of a diesel cap, there's one indication.
