Try Luke at DPUK, he builds performance diesels, I know he had a 6.0 Powerstroke himself recently that he bought with issues and sorted it. I haven't dealt with him personally but he seems to know his stuff

Durango rears up to 42psi, trailer tyres 55psi. What trailer have you got? The tyres on my Brian James tri axle run at 80psi. I tow with yank pick ups week in week out with no dramas but as others have said the car needs to be up front on the trailer to give you the nose weight. If the Durango is a...

Harly Wax is very good as long as you pre wax the car with something else as theres no abrasives in it all, it wont even remove a dried raindrop from the car, ive often used it on dark coloured cars, you can keep building it up and end up with a really deep shine
