Default 2001 2500 5.9 Cumming

We have a 2001 Ram 2500 5.9 Cummins, three speed auto with OD. I use it to pull my 37 foot Fifth Wheel; this puts me right at the legal GW for this PU. I have installed a chip, oversized Air Filter and an exhaust brake and air springs on the rear... Fuel consumption is good normally 9 to 10 MPG in the mountains and 12 to 13 MPH on the flat land depending on wind speed and direction. I have been over the Rocky Mountains 10 times. We are retired and go where it’s cool in the summer and warm in winter. We spent last winter in Southern California. Currently we are in Southern Idaho and plan to move farther North as the weather heats up. So far two fuel transfer pumps and two brake relines and a headlight bulb. I also have a problem with my AC Heater blower motor. It works at the highest speed just fine. The low and median stopped working last week. All suggestions are appreciated.
