only real issue will be payload of the van. The HP torque specs are on par with my C2500, I've pulled upwards of 8K with out issues. The motor will be winding out a bit. It will pull a 6K without issues. I pulled my old Fleetwood 24c a few times with out issues.
You probably also have the 4l60 tranny, where I have a 4l80. While stouter in some senses, the gearing is better in the 4l60 than mine. Even with 3.42 gear sets, your overall low is lower than mine with 4.10's.
