Another thing to check out, is the Cummins a 53 block in your 1999 RAM. Source Automotive will show you where to look for that. If it is, then towing heavy may cause it to crack along the block below the exhaust manifold.

Most of those blocks cracked without towing a load so I doubt he has one of these defective blocks after 160k miles.
There is no guaranty of that! But again you know much more than anyone else about RAM trucks, as you had one for a year or two. That being an used one that you bought that had been ridden hard and put away wet.
