Have you thought about going to a gooseneck style for a 5th wheel, most all pin boxes can be converted to a gooseneck hitch.

This is one style of bed mount for a fifth wheel, but any gooseneck hitch will work, you just have to find a kit to convert the pin box over to gooseneck:

PullRite has a SAFER, STRONGER, BETTER designed hitch for you

Here is a coupler to convert the pin box to a gooseneck, there are few different one's:

That's to the mounting frame that sits on the floor bed...the 5'er plate sits at 33".

I will take a picture tomorrow of my bed.

2001 and newer PSD's have PMR's, which are powdered metal rods, L99 and 2000's have Forged Rods...

The PMR motors are good to about 400 HP, while the Forged rod motors will handle up to about 500 HP. Beyond that both motors need head studs, springs and pushrods replaced.

Your good having a 2000, you can handle up to 500 hp.

I am in the same process in that I am modding my truck, I chose the 38r and I love it, then I went with the TS 6 Position chip with Tyrant custom tunes...I am very happy so far.

Next I am going to install the 238cc/100% injectors, then go with a regulated return fuel and fuel bowl delete system. I will address any oil issues after that, IF I have any at all or my stock HPOP let's go.

I tow a 35 ft Toyhauler that when loaded is about 12,000 lbs, with the mods I am shooting for I should be still reliable and have manageable EGT's...I am shooting for 400-425 HP, I might be touch over when its said and done.:c:

Not really set on the 238/100's...might go with 205's...

Towed my trailer to Kalispell, Mt and it was easy to get the EGT's to rise, the motor might be a little too hot, looking into a InterCooler next before injectors, cuz if it's hot now with stock sticks, it'll only get hotter with bigger one's.

Stockers are 140cc split shots...

A typical stage 1 injector is 160cc single shot..

What is the difference and pros and cons of single shot and split shot?
