Hi Kenny, A good friend of mine has a 98',1/2 ton,4wd.,ex. cab Chevy with a Vortec 350 and a 3.73 rear end.He pulls a 11,500lb camper with it(I know that sounds crazy,but,he showed me the scale ticket after he got it weighed).He has brakes on both axles of the camper,and he uses a weight distributing hitch-it slides in the Reese hitch, and,on the tounge of the camper,attached to brackets,are chains,you adjust the chains up,or,down,and it puts more weight onto the rear axle of the trailer,and off the rear end of the truck-using this setup the truck,and the camper ride level.Just remember,with pulling that kind of weight,no matter what kind,or,size of truck you have,accleration will take longer,and so will braking.So you MUST drive with that in mind,be CAREFUL and CAUTIOUS. By the way,I think the 5300 engine has a little more HP than the Vortec 350,so that shouldn't be a problem.
