Jenny My 2003 Dodge 2500 4x2 H.O. Diesel has a payload of 2780lbs. My 2004 Mountaineer 328rls has a pin weight of 1960lbs. So I`m sure they didn`t change the payload much in a couple years. All pre 2005 Dodge owners with a 5.9l H.O. Diesel ask your dealer about fuel pump kit that now when replaced goes into the fuel tank instead of on the engine. Mine went when we went to the Rifle River in Sterling Mich. in June. There could also be a silent recall on them so ask your dealer. Then when we pulled into Rideau Acres campground in Kingston Ontario my water pump went. Good thing I have the 7yr./160,000km. warranty which was included when I purchased the vehicle. Never had a problem with vehicle until now, only a few more pumps left to go. Hope everyone has had a good year camping to far, We`ve been gone every weekend except 2 weekends since easter and am enjoying every minute in the 5th.
