I have a B&W Turnover gooseneck hitch rated for 30,000. I like it a lot and it was easy to install with basic tools and 4in holesaw. If I remember right it took about 2-3 hours to install.

Your truck should not have any problem pulling it stock. If I were you I would leave it alone until the warranty runs out since they are looking for any excuse they can use to get out of warranty work on the 6oh.
What year truck? Motor?
If ya got a 7.3 then I would say get a new F5 from DP tuner with the smoke file. I plan to get one as soon as I sell my diablosport.

Most people I have seen put it in the intake horn that bolts on to the cylinder head. The ATS intake on my 95 CTD came already tapped for one.

I have a 2002 F250 auto with 373s and it runs about 2000 rpm on the highway at 70mph. Your truck sounds normal to me. If you hit the OD off button and it downshifts then it should be fine.
I use delvac 1300 and like it. Just took the front cover off to fix the KDP on my dads 12 valve and at 245,000 miles everything still looked new inside.
