The brake issues the others have brought up are very real and could very well and likely be the root of the problem you're experiencing. If that's the case you want to think seriously about cutting down your loads and NEVER pushing it on a wet or slippery day.
I'll just toss out a u-joint going bad as another possibility, and worth considering if you have hauled that heavy a lot or haul frequently even with a more customary load with an exhaust brake. A lot of folks recommend drivin' a Cummins' like you stole it, and I've been very happy with mine drivin' just that way, but that Jake does actually work very well up on the high end and stresses the u-joints. Dodge replaced my entire rear driveshaft under the extended warranty to fix a bad u-joint at just under 100k, and I had to replace one (center) of the u-joints in the new one just 30k later. If you detect that she's buckin' any without the load, I'd look at that as a possibility, too. Less of a possibility with a gasser or a diesel without the exhaust brake, but still a potential problem.
