I seconded what Pick said. Especially the fuel filter change. I have a cummins diesel and can tell you that nothing can mess up a diesel quicker than water and dirty fuel. As for driving, unless you equip your diesel with performance options you won't accelerate like gas engines. Keep that in mind. Be sure to let the turbo cool before turning off (consult your manual for your engine specifics). Towing is a dream with a diesel and an Airstream. You will go up mountains without problems and the weight of the truck is wonderful in keeping the trailer steady. You might think about an exhaust brake due to diesels not having any back pressure to slow down. This would be benefical if you live and drive in mountain areas. I regularly get 22-23 solo and consistently get 16 pulling our 25' Airstream at 68MPH. One thing is for sure, you will not go back to gas after this diesel. They are great!
Hope this helps some.
