I have a 2003 C4500 Topkick P/U by Monroe. I now tow a 30' Pace trailer, my truck and trailer weigh 22,000 lbs going down the road. I have no problems now. My question is, I will soon be towing a 48' GN living quarter trailer, 16,000 lbs. What should I do to my trans to keep It happy? I have PPE set at level 2, 4" exhaust, 4.44 gears and 225/75/19.5 tires.

I think an upgrade would keep you and your Ally happy. Converter upgrade with a Transgo shift kit and upgraded clutches.
