Just saw this one. Nice truck. I have a white Mega cab with the 6.4 and auto level. The auto level is cool. I normally leave mine in the "alternate trailer height" mode as it drops the rear down a little and basically levels the truck. I see you have a tow behind trailer. When you lift the jack and place the weight on the hitch the truck will level itself back out in about 10 seconds. It makes it sort of weird to adjust the WDH stuff as the bumper will be at the same height as before you hitched up! What I do is to measure the front and rear bumpers before I hitch up while in the "alternate trailer height" mode. After I hitch up I adjust the WDH to drop the front back down. Simple.
I am not sure but I think eventually we'll see some folks with the auto level 2500's, especially diesel trucks, have issues with 5th wheel trailers with heavy hitch weights. Once the weight limitation is reached the system complains and goes haywire. I have not heard of this happening on 2500's yet but some with the 1500's have had the problem. Being a 2500 with the CTD has a low cargo capacity it could happen.
