Diesel has more energy than gasoline volumetrically, but it is closer to 14%, not 50%. And it can be less than that if it is a winter blend.

Hi,
Bought a 2015 Durango 5.7 AWD to tow my 25' FB TB Flying Cloud. Worked great in FL this winter but recently started to experience my front end drifting. Have you had any control problems? Oh, I have the EAZ lift WDS and two friction sway bars.
Thanks for any thoughts.

IMHO, you should take it to a GOOD trailer dealer and get them to adjust it for you.

if not done right, it can lift the front end and cause vague steering. The weight in the tallier can vary , thus the Sway and friction setup can vary

If you're front end is so light that you are having steering issues, you're in a dangerous situation. What's the rated cargo capacity of your Durango (there should be a sticker on the driver's side door jamb that says "total weight of passengers and cargo shall not exceed XXX"). How much cargo and passenger weight are you carrying? The trailer is probably putting 600-900 lbs of weight on the Durango. So you need the maximum possible tension on your weight distribution setup. Also check tire pressures. You may have to add air to rear tires.
