2000 Towing Guide
It mentions a HD towing package was required for the 2000 HD 3500 truck with the 5.7 in order to get the 10,000 lb tow rating.
I would do some googleing for the RPO code for the 2000 3500 series HD towing package.
The RPO codes should be listed in the glove box. I am sure a GM expert will chime in with more info here.
I "Think" that I read that the HD towing package consisted of a transmission cooler and a HD radiator.. but I may be mistaken.. I would google that as well if I were you.
Thanks!

in 2000 the 3500 HD was a chassis cab truck..it has a solid front axle and 34in wide frame in the rear plus a 14,500lbs GVW and a 24,000lb GCVWR..
to the op yes it will safely pull it just don't plan on getting there fast if there is any big hills..
