your's should be a 600 (which should tell you on your window sticker) until you have the software upgrade. this should be no charge from the dealer.
TSB 18 037 04 is the TSB# you need to give them.
hope this helps some

that is what they told me. it is a software upgrade and also adds the extra 10 ft lbs.
maybe someone else will know. i don't see any reason for the service manager to lie since he is a friend. if he wasn't, i might be a little skeptical.

Grizz...
I **** near bought the longbed, as we got this truck to pull a yet to be purchased 5th wheel. Glad I got the shortbox, as it barely fits in the garage with only a couple inches to spare. I know I'll have to get a sliding 5th wheel hitch, but that's a tradeoff I'm willing to make. I know what you mean about gettin' in and goin'. I've got the same fever.

Radman,
I have the shortbox with the Pullrite Superglide auto slider. Love the turning radius of the truck and the fact it fits in the garage.
The Pullrite makes towing the 5er a no-brainer. If you don't get an extended kingpin on your 5er, don't consider anything but the Pullrite. Even with an extended kingpin, I would still get the Pullrite, but it will cost you about a grand more total than a manual slider. You put $30k-$40k into your truck and will likely drop another $25k-$40k (or more) into your fifth wheel. Don't cheap out on the hitch.
Just my $.02
