I have had my 2500HD CC SB 4x4 for a couple weeks now, just passed 1000 miles on the odometer today. We will be picking up our new 28' Airstream on the 16th of this month. I will probably be at about 1600 to 1750 miles by then.

Is there anything special I should be looking at or doing to my truck prior to towing a 6500 pound trailer? ( I will have an Equal-i-zer hitch and a Prodigy brake controller )

check all fluids and tire pressures on both the truck and trailer. check and make sure all of your lights work on the trailer and that the brakes on the trailer are working good.

Oh ya, I know this is coming, don't forget the cooler.

only pulling one? LOL if you asked about pulling 4 of them then thats a different story! ;) You should be just fine and let us know how the trip goes.

rearend fluid mainly/ likely to be low

I have a 5er close to that size, just remember to drive the speed limit or less you will get better mpg

Change the rear diff fluid, break-in period is around 1,500 miles. Have fun and enjoy your tow and new Duramax!!

just watch out and remember the trailer is there thats

the hard part never noticing its there.have fun
only thing i know is that change your external trans filter
at 3000miles no earlier.towing a trailer with these trucks
is not a chore its just fun good luck.:D

I just picked up a 29ft outback 5er (converted to gooseneck) the other day. It's about 8000 dry. I wuz running a hypertech set at level 1(stock exhaust!) my truck is a 02 swb CC dmax/alley. Except for feeling the effects of the pin weight(1500+) on my back...i was more than happy with the power(i had to watch it...at one time i was up to 80mph!) Also i was every impressed with how the 5er tracked & handled compared to my 24ft bumper pull.
