I might mention there are really two reasons to buy a new TV. First the TV cannot handle the load. Second you want a new vehicle.
Both are legitimate reasons, the first a bit more pressing then the second.
Repair issues, are a big motivator but sometimes you just want a new one.
I'd like to add a 3rd one. My 2nd dually 3500 diesel had a fiberglass body. The fat fenders formed spider cracks and were getting so bad, I was beginning to expect chunks of the fenders to simply fall off. When taking it to a body shop, it would have cost $4000 a side to replace all that fiberglass. Although, mechanically the truck was solid, frame was solid, and towed like a wildebeest, I traded for a new truck while I could still get good value out of it and still looked good.
So, other than not being able to handle the load, or just wanting another one, it's possible something else could be going wrong.
