Track Bar Options
Typically the killer of track bars is the oversized tires. Since the OP is still running stock size I would worry much about custom bars or modifying personally. Pick a bar of good quality and go for it.

Howdy from Texas!
You might want to get in touch with ISX on the HX35W turbo he's done a bunch of work with video and other wise for these turbos.

Vacuum pump - Rebuild time!
As far as I know you just pull the vacuum pump and PS pump as a unit from the truck.

Hx back to Hy?
Yes. I've towed even on 5x5. What's really wild is towing up a 6-7% grade set the cruise and then turn the Edge Comp off from 5x5 and watch the pyrometer. It doesn't change. Because the truck has to fuel X amount to pull Y amount of weight up a 6-7% grade so regardless of settings it shouldn't change much from Edge Comp to OFF. With the Edge Comp on 5x3 and towing the RV I've had the rear tires break loose on paint lines on the highway, smooth spot of asphalt, or a bridge seam.

Hx back to Hy?
I'm running HX35W Turbo with no issues with +50HP injectors and Edge Comp on 5x3. Normal empty cruising 55-60 MPH is about 2-3 PSI and 550-600*F. Towing at 55-60 MPH with 8,000 pound trailer it floats around 750-900*F no issues. Climbing 6-7% grade I can pull it right at 53-55 MPH and float between 1,000-1,100*F but that being smart and dropping from 5th into 4th gear. I would say turn the Juice up more but I know you got a Automatic.

Need help with new 60hp injectors from DAP
That's all it does is let the ECM/PCM see the idle to WOT limits and store them that's all.

So... I have a bit of a project..
That the part I hate about RV's by the time you start digging into the walls and ceiling you can uncover a whole lot of sin hiding behind a thin piece of vinyl wallpaper. Hopefully you bind that roof panel back together to insure structural strength.

Suggestion's for upgrade's for Heavy 5th wheel towing?
Just got to look around. I know where all the public scales that leave on the display like one in Horsebend, ID. Or the Shell station in Council, ID just ask the cashier and they write down your weight. Or my other favorite in Grangeville, ID there is a feed store that leave the scale display on 24 hours. I try to check RV/Truck weight twice a year.

Injector nozzles?
Stock SO engine produced 235 HP. Stock RV Cummins ISB produced 275 HP (RV275) or roughly +40 HP New nozzles, pop testing and flow matching by the time you do all this it might be cheaper to just buy new injectors.

Need A/C help
Last year unofficially we measured 115*F working out on the Rough Creek fire. Miserable time roasting in the heat. Riggins, ID is like a high desert type landscape in away but low enough in elevation to get pretty darn hot. Here at the house I've seen 105*F in mid-summer. More you go up in elevation the cooler it is. So as summer get here I aim to work up in the mountains hauling firewood as much as possible. Last year I started in May there was snow where we were cutting and by the time you hit the valley floor it was time for A/C. Best of both worlds.

EGT problem?
I know for daily driving 3" exhaust has no effect to MPG's. Also with a daily driver 3" exhaust is still very controllable with towing the RV or utility trailer.

EGT problem?
As soon as mine rots off I'll be heading for a 4" MBRP system as well...

ECM need to be retrained every time any of the above has occurred regardless of Timbo APPS Sensor or OE APPS sensor.
-
E Clip?
Oh! Damn I can't help with that one. I have a hard enough time trying to fit under the dash for just the clutch rod. But as for the main pivot rod that going to be a bear to deal with.

Replace Fan Hub Bearing
Be careful about bench vises. I've broke two bench vises doing stuff like that one I broke pressing U-joints back in a driveshaft.

If your not careful I might have to update his Avatar...

Need help with driveshaft
Carrier Bearing can be replaced but it has to be pressed off the shaft.

Vacuum pump - Rebuild time!
Well I think I gotta put some priority to this project. I've got oil scattered all the way past the transmission now and the truck is losing 2 quarts of oil in 7k miles now. I just changed oil today and man the underside of the truck was a mess. Still not leaking bad enough to drip on the floor but everything is wet with oil. So bringing this topic to the top and going to have to get this done very soon.

Yes... If you... Disconnect the batteries Disconnect the ECM Disconnect the APPS sensor
