Probably not too bad. That's basically a 3/4 ton rig, 8600 gvw if I looked up the right one. Truck + trailer is probably ~8k, maybe 9. I'd guess ~1500 lb on the ball, probably 7500-8k gvw on the sub. Maybe a touch light on the front end but not unsafe. Perspective in the pic makes it looks worse than it is IMHO - still got quite a bit of space in the rear wheel wells.

With all the gear(air compressor-Tires-Chains-People's and Dog it was probably around 9-10K
And of course I wasn't driving like a idiot 55 in the slow lane didn't feel the load at all in Overdrive the whole way except for the hills then dropped down to 3rd.

Can anybody tell me the mileage?

Ok so I changed the oil
And attempted to start it turn the key and the radio
comes on facet fuel pump kicks on go to start and nothing
I only have on battery that's from 2012 that I charged for about 30 mins could that be it. Maybe the battery has anough juice to power radio and Electric Pump but no power to starter?

Tomorrow I'll charge up my battery's and run the jumper cables from battery to starter solenoid
And see if she cranks. Otherwise I'll throw my known working starter from the 86 on there and see if she turns.
I don't know why it won't let me post pics?
oh and another thing never heard the GlowPlugs come on.

Make sure it's in park.

Passenger fender is the starter relay just aft of the battery. Remove the small wire (push on black 90* connector, easy to do), and jumper that terminal to +12 - should turn over. If that works either the park/neutral switch or the key switch is bad/out of adjustment. If it still doesn't check to see if there's +12 on the output of the relay with it jumpered. If so you need a starter. If not a new relay. Simple system.

How about that wiring? My 86 doesn't have anything that matches it. It's from the drivers side fender.

Maybe cruise control related? Do you have cruise on that truck? It looks familiar but I can't place it exactly.

Edit: Is that the clutch safety switch for the cruise disengage? It would be plugged off because you are auto?
