Has anyone noticed how much heat is coming out the tailpipe and melting the front of the trailer!
I was hooking up yesterday to leave the campsite and noticed a ton of heat coming out the tailpipe.
What have you done to lessen the heat? I noticed Banks has a tailpipe that directs the heat out the right hand side but not too sure if that is just snake oil or something worth considering.
Without knowing how bad your banging is, one suggestion is the intermediate steering shaft on the steering wheel. These used to be a problem on 800 and earlier series. The feeling/sound was sometimes described as "clunking" and was felt in the wheel. Also there is a plastic piece in the lower column that is referred to as a bearing. Not your traditional looking bearing though. Your ball joints, bushings and tie rods or steering rack (if equipped) are the main point of issues. You never mention total unit miles, only that you've put 60k on it.
You can search the site for help on the ISS description. Plenty of these have been replaced

Yes I have is set with the 1mm disk (Minumim Tension), for spring spacing and I raised my truck in the rear 1.5". You can go 2mm and I think 3mm if you need.Minimum. We are on our way to TN from GA.. My wife is driving and stated she cannot believe and stated she can not belive the difference.
Most 1 ton trucks come with the factory overload spring, which need to be removed for installation of RoadActive Suspension. Removing the overload allows proper fitment and ensures the system works as intended. The RAS® Mega-Duty kit will reduce squat and provide significant improvement vs the factory overload spring.
I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.
