[D13]

Towed many a thing on my 4.3 powered 400 body. Including gross overloads (10k on 7k trailer, bent the axle, hubcaps would pop off on corners, etc) and 87 chevy (talk about fighting the wind!).

1. Tow in D not OD if you have a 4 speed auto, or you'll be looking for a trans.

2. Be very sure the trailer has brakes and they work well with the controller (you do have the factory wiring and tow package right?).

3. 50mph max.

4. Remember that it's not a big block. If you pass anyone you're going too fast.

5. Load the truck on the trailer nose first to be sure that the weight is slightly forward. If the weight is in the back the trailer will try to lift the truck and your traction and handling will be shot.

6. 4 chains/straps minimum, and not the crappy 1" ones either. Nothing worse than having the truck come off the trailer.

7. Be sure that the hitch is locked on the ball.

Your truck is light and will have a tendency to be whipped around by wind. if you feel the truck swaying apply the trailer brakes and slow down! And don't go that fast again!
