I have a 2008 Gulfstream Supernova on the International chassis. I used to tow an enclosed 20' trailer with close to 7k pounds on it with no issues.
I believe the Suburban is a tick under 6k pounds.
I checked Remco and they state: "Lube Pump Kit"
I believe I will also need a drive shaft disconnect???
Thanks Again.

I'm not sure. If you disconnect the drive shaft, there should not be a need for the lube pump. The transmission will not be effected if it is disconnected from the rear wheels.
The lube pump should eliminate the need to disconnect the drive shaft.
But, maybe I'm wrong.
You have enough towing capacity for the Suburban. :)
You're not wrong at all. It's all logical. If you remove the rear drive shaft, as in a drive/shaft disconnect, then there's absolutely NO NEED for a pump. Or, if you leave the present drive shaft intact, then yes, now you've got some transmission components turning, while it's being towed down the road. And that will necessitate the need for the lube pump. I'm not a fan of either one and, will never use either one but, it's not my choice here, it's the OPs.
