I have a duramax 07 and just purchased a Landmark grand canyon
I didn't buy the dually. My questions are do I need to do anything like air bags etc. what is the best after market system to change the air intake and exhaust system? Is the B&W hitch a good one for my use?
thank you for your help

With the Duramax you should have the Allison transmission. You should not have to do anything with the air intake or the exhaust system. I think you will like the way it tows and going down hills, the Allison takes care of that. I do prefer the dually though!

Gene I have the B&W and it is a great hitch. Only one hole to drill however it is a 4 inch so you are looking at a $30 hole saw. You can install it in about 2-3 hours. The B&W has really close tolerances and I couldn't not use a lube plate as you can not tell when it is ready to unlatch with one installed. I think the close tolerances help to reduce the bucking associated with some hitches.

You didn't say what body style you have, I have a 07 classic D/A. one word of caution, you will probably want to check your pin weight,if you are like me your going to be either close or over,with the stock tires. 265s will give you appox. 800# more 285s can give you 1500# more,and air bags are a great help in keeping everthing level.Happy camping...

Catsok,
I have a 2005 Chev Duramax towing a 3370RL. I think it is a perfect match without getting into dualies. I am very pleased with the weight. See my config. below.

Hoss, just start out slow and easy.
Make up a pre-flight check list for every thing from stowing gear, putting in the slides, lowering antennas etc.
Look through the forum for "hook up" suggestions and ideas.
First and foremost, if something does not make sense it is probably wrong.
You have a great rig, enjoy it!
