Thanks!

So based on your original question, the answer is NO! Pull it yes, but carry NO!
With a 2,400# DRY pin subtracted from your trucks 2,966# leaves 566#, now likely if you took your truck to a Cat scale and weigh it with full fuel tanks you will likely have less than the 2,966# between its weight and the 10,000# GVWR.
Then if you were able to weigh the pin of the 5th wheel with just battery and full propane, it would likely be more than 2,400#.
Two options, get a 3500 or find a lighter 5th wheel.
