Thanks. We will still use the wd and sway bar. Didn't have to adjust for the f150 so will continue as always. I am guessing we are about 6200 loaded for camping. The fcord was a lariat with factory tow package a cooling system in it. We kept to low lands or smaller passes and now can plan a trip to montana, dakotas etc.
As to our new to us truck it needed a new exhaust system. The dealer sent it to a diesel shop in town. They also noted a small leak on the turbo. When dh picked it up first time he noticed an odd sound on the front passenger side. Checked somdthing online and called his friend who knows diesels and headed back to dealer. Their mechanic drove it and told the manager he thought it was a ujoint issue. Gave dh loaner back and sent back to the same shcop. They replaced both unjoints and replaced some gaskets to fix the leak. They spent $2600 all in. It has 89700 miles. Dh knows to ride it chard to keep thd systems cleaned out. He has wanted a longbed one ton diesel for years. His buddy and guy at the shop we took the ford to be fixed at said these were normal and thought we would still do well with it.
