Sliding-into-home,
You are going to be over weight. Period.
Your first step is to weight your truck with a full tank and you, but with the tail gate removed (my guess 7500#). Get the weights separately for both the front and rear axel.
The loaded 990 will be at least 4500 pounds. I agree with the other poster who said you will be 500 pounds over weight. I think it will be a bit more than that. Possibly 1000 pounds.
Other folks on this forum are more informed on current camper specs.
Just start a new post that includes for truck weights and go from there.
(FYI --- We had a F350 CC LB 4x4 with the 6.8 gasser that is lighter than your diesel. We had a 1996 Alpenlite that is lighter than a 990. We weighed 11,400 with my wife and I and two small dogs).
