4.10 ratio limited slip axil (I'm not really truck-tech smart - is that 
the rear end stuff?) Also it's a "power stroke" turbo diesel and has the 
trailer towing package. After Nancy's post though, I hope we don't run 
into transmission, brake and frame problems.  We definately use the 
trailer brake to help on the downhills. We've had it 2 yrs.  Oh and BTW, 
I'm not too excited about the weight of this trailer (a Travelute with a 
steel floor - great trailer except for weight) and would love to have an 
aluminum one! Too many $$$!  Bambi
