How heavy are you towing with your 6.0?

My fifth wheel trailer weighs 10600 dry, so with cargo, generators, etc I'd guess I'm usually around 12000 pounds. No issues towing this trailer. It is a 33' with 3 slides. It would be a good idea to get some gauges if you don't have them, especially EGT gauge if you are traveling in mountainous country.

Get a ScanGauge (or equiv ) to monitor oil vs coolant temps if you're gonna tow. This is most important with a 6.0. If you haven't studded your 6.0 and are going to tow close to the max weight it will be a matter of time before you'll blow the head gaskets. I was lucky and mine blew while still under warranty. I had it studded then. Not a WHISKER of a problem since! Been about 8 or so years with studs!
