I have no power to the constant 12volt connection on my female trailer plug on my 2002 Silverado 1 ton. It has the 7 wire plug from the factory. I can't locate a fuse for this wire. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.

How heavy is the trailer? What year is your truck? What is the rear end gear ratio? What size motor do you have?

Did the research on all the items you suggested and more and just bit the bullet and bought a 3/4 Silverado diesel with the 6 speed Allison. This way there was no limiting factors as far as tow vehicle. Ended up with a 34 ft fifth wheel and am very happy. Thanks..

Sounds like you have a nice truck and trailer. Enjoy! Now bring it to Montana sometime. It's beautiful up here.

Yeah..that 34' 5th wheel is slightly heavier than 6500lbs You got a great powertrain combo. Did you still get a shortbed? And did you buy a sliding hitch? Which one did you buy?

6ft bed, my uncle had a Reese non- slide that he was not using since he upgraded to a slider. I bought a Cougar 5th wheel that has a new nose that eliminates the problem of hitting the cab so I feel safe using a non-slider. Thanks for the help....
