How much would you say that your 14 ft. trailer & cargo weighed?

What dealer are you going to?

Massey-Yardley Dodge in Hobe Sound, Florida.
Even though they're not the dealer I purchased (this one, I have bought there in the past) from, they've been very accommodating. I have nothing bad to say about them at all, I would reccommend them to anyone local.

Do you have a 1500/2500/3500? It makes a difference. Also, what gearing? Does your truck have the towing package?

Well, I took my Megacab back to the dealer today, with my 27 ft. 5th wheel attached, and went for a test drive with the Service Advisor, and the shop's tranny technician. They both saw the way that it acted, and both of them thought that it wasn't appropriate behavior, but the bottom line is that there really isn't anything that they can do for me. They were both cooperative, pleasant, and professional, so there's no hard feelings either way.
It appears that my options are probably going to boil down to installing a tuner/programmer, and possibly an axle ratio change. I really don't want to incur the cost of trading/buying a CTD just yet, but that will definitely be my next truck choice.
Thanks guys!

Well that all depends on my stock ratio. I have absolutely no idea what it is, or what ratios were even offered with my truck. Ifmy stock gearing is 3.73, for example, I wouldn't use anything much lower than a 4.10 ratio. If my truck happens to have the 4.10 gears already, the then 4.56's would definitely be the way to go.
I'll definitely be checking out what my current gears are!
