Hello, just got a 07 Silverado 4.8 LT Crew Cab on Friday and wanted to introduce myself. It is a base LT with no options. Alrerady ordered the DIC switch. I will be using the truck as a DD but it will tow my drag car to the track on weekends.

I have already made my first mistake. I assumed the truck would tow my 5000 lb trailer and car no mater what V8 and gear came stock. But to my suprise when I got home the owners manual says a CC wit the 4.8 and 3:23 gear is only rated to 4600 lb capacity (lol) the 3:73 gera can go 6600 lbs. I will have to buy a Hitch,3:73 gear I already have a spare derail cooler from my race car but it has a built in fan and dont know if it is too much for a street truck. But any way just wanted to introduce myself.

Welcome to the site and congrats on the truck. I would also consider 4.10's rather than the 3.73's for the extra towing power :D The 4.8 is NOT a torque monster, so anything to help it out is a plus.

I will look into the 4:10 gears if the

3:23 pulls 4600 lbs

3:73 pulls 6600 lbs

4:10 pulls ? I think it might go to 7500 lbs I can not find any information I just called my dealer for the gears and he said it might viod my warrenty(lol)
