I just wanted to get a positive feed back from this post. I know all sales or tech guys probably say this due to the warranty disclaimer I'm sure.
Anyways, just making sure!

I guess I made it up.

To answer your original question though, sorry to get OT..
Even with the standard tune, you will be fine. My Yukon (see sig) is cammed, 90mm conversion, blah, blah, and I tow my boat just fine with no worries.

Sorry for the mis reading.

Trust me, I towed 40+K at MAX GVWR and never even thought about it......And since I dont "work" at Magna Charger anymore, I will say this.....I was not easy on the truck! It will not break.... The only issue I can forsee with your set up is towing 6000 pounds with a 4L65-E, even @ stock power this would be an issue in my book.

My tranny mods are: PI 2400 stall, both Sonnax servos, and Zippy shift kit.
This should keep it at bay for a little while.

Just stateing that the 4L65 is the weak link in the Gm truck line. I too have a 65, and got 40K out of my 60-E. It was just a statement in general.
