2017 2500hd 6.0 gas up-grade questions

Wow...with that much weight that 6.0 gasser is gonna be sssssssslllllllllooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwww going on climbs.

Thank you everyone !! Lazydays, thank you, windows are factory tinted and in N.Y. we now can not have darker tint than factory, door rain guards are ordered. I do a lot of snow plowing so the bug shield keeps to much snow on the hood. Jarata1, check that, have two young Golden's lol, MURPHY55347, forgot about the weathertech, had them in our old van, great product, thanks for the reminder. MFL, have bags in my current 2500hd and did plan to add them. What a difference they make, thanks. Lynnmor, lol, I know, about every 175 miles I'm going to need gas. BenK, plan on doing break-in all of August. We are on our last summer vacation now and get home Monday in time to pick up new truck. Next vaca is winter in Florida.

Thanks everyone.

Read cover to cover and understand your glove box manual.

Follow the manual's break in procedure and do NOT tow till the rear diff is broken in

Decide on your maintenance schedule and check out the various glove box manual schedules. There are a min of two. Regular and HD (or whatever they call it).

Decide on your level of materials for your maintenance schedule. This and above depends on how long you expect to keep it. Cheap out and let the subsequent owners deal with that

Tires will need to be broken in. Some take several thousand miles to do so

Bed in your braking system's friction material to cast iron

If adding an alarm system, demand ring lug connections. That will cost a bit more, but well worth it down the road

After everything is broken in...I normally/always...check out the limits of handling...including braking. Where your preference to tire PSI and how it handles (including braking...skidding via ABS).

Hook up & check that out before any major trips and ditto check limits of towing

My regular stuff with any new to me vehicle

Gas cans, lots of gas cans.

Weathertech floor mats.

You may need to add some suspension help to level the load. Give it a try first. Be prepared to post a pic of truck, and truck/rig together.

Tint the windows, bug deflector, and window vents just to name a few if you like those things.
