John, I have just done what you are talking about. I collect and show old John Deeres and have a Dodge 3500 with the Cummins. It is a great truck, but a 25,000 lb. trailer is way too much. I just purchased a 1997 Peterbilt 385 with sleeper, tandems, 400 HP ISM Cummins, with an Eaton Super 10, that I found in like new condition with only 186,000 miles. I will be in the process of getting the trailer wiring done and fifth wheel moved back in the next week or so. So far I have only bobtailed with it, I am eager to put the trailer behind. We will also use it to pull our Hitchhiker 5th wheel.
