Thanks for the response Luke. Didn't hear from anyone ~ I was starting to wonder if I sent out the question!
The truck pulls a 5300lb camper with NO problem, so yes, the full setup works well. Just odd sitting at a light (without anything in tow) and having to bring the revs. up a bit more then what I'm used to before the truck actually moves. Guess that's the nature of the beast!!
Anyone have any thoughts on camper mirrors? (see below)
