Im sure it does, its probably setup like my 97 C3500, it has a PS cooler, Radiator, Trans cooler, aux pusher fan, condensor, and some other little cooler....its busy as hell up front.

I pulled a, probably 22 foot gooseneck sleeper/horse trailer a few weeks ago with my 3500, same trans, rearend, and engine (except a few more ponies) and it has 250K on it, all original...and it didnt have any problems that I could sense..probably 8500lbs on it.

But its a 1ton vs a 3/4 ton...so there is a step down in what it can accomplish.
