Just towed this beast of an RV to Maine for a week with my 2015 5.3L. Drove it 1677 miles in 8 days. Had towed car trailers before hauling my 1975 CJ5 and a small Datsun but nothing like this thing. Definitely worked the 5.3 but she handled it. Averaged about 8 mpgs. I do NOT have the max tow package so an aftermarket brake controller was a must. I went with the Tekonsha P3 and was glad I did. Handled the brakes like a dream and being able to manually brake the trailer on the hills and save the truck brakes worked perfectly. Dialed it in at 5.5 and Boost level 2 . Don’t skimp on a brake controller - when a tractor trailer slammed on its brakes on an on ramp it may have saved my family from a major tragedy. Stopped like the RV like it wasn’t there thankfully, and gave me just the split second I needed to check mirrors and get over safely avoiding a pile up. Plug and play install using Tekonsha’s harness. Worth the few extra dollars for my family’s safety. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have had two rattles in the lower dash beneath the steering column. The first was the cable to the hood release. The cable actually seemed to be vibrating within itself. I zip tied the cable to something under the dash and that solved that problem. The other vibration is coming from behind the lower dash panel to the left of the steering wheel. I can get under there and hear the sound of I tap the panel but can't find what's causing it to fix it. When driving if the sound starts, sometimes just banging on that panel gets it to stop. This one is driving me nuts. I'm nervous to remove that whole panel and getting under there to look requires positions that are far from comfortable. I have sensitive ears - rattles drive me insane.

Now take that dealer decal off the back, please!!!! Looks so much better without and don't be someone's free advertising. It's so simple with a hair dryer, and a microfiber to buff afterwards. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Was worth a shot. I assume you've also deleted and repaired your phone as well. That's all I've got : (. Good luck and glad to hear the infotainment folks want to help. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Did you check to see if the Bluetooth setting in your phone have changed? Check that settings for that Bluetooth device and make sure notifications or any other settings might be configured properly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That looks like a nice tonneau. I just went with a tonnopro lo roll and I do love it, but yours looks a little cleaner at the tailgate. I have to pop my tonnopro and roll it back one roll then close the tailgate to get the seal to sit properly with mine. Not a big deal, but I would have preferred a system that allowed me to just open and close my tailgate without having to pop the cover every time. I don't open it all that often so not a huge deal, but convenience is key. How do you like it? Does it seem like it will seal out water well? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I checked my reflection behind another vehicle, and when I turn off my auto lights my DRL are NOT on. I have a 2015 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, maybe that's it. I'll have to check my reflection next time I can to see if they are on when auto is off. Didn't think about that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry for posting this in all he rattle threads, trying to help. My steering column rattle seems to be coming from the hood release lever. Try tapping it and you will hear the rattle. When driving you can apply pressure to it and it stops - at least in my case. Looking for a permanent solution. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay, just trying to help. Mine has never loaded my text messages and I don't believe it is supposed to. It will only show a new message you received from when you started the truck. That's for safety. They don't want you looking at your old messages. Good luck with getting that figured out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What kind of phone do you have Wildwilt? My text interaction has been working perfectly, even the Siri eyes free function where I can dictate whatever I want to say in a message. I don't think I've received a text message with a picture while in my truck but nervous now, that if I get one it will screw it up. Question - has the issue only been with text messages from the same person? You might want to try deleting that whole message conversation from your phone and see if that helps. Maybe the way that text came through is now making the truck see it oddly. I would delete that string of messages and the. Have that person, or your wife or something, send you a new one so you can test it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here's my bedrug...installed a couple days ago but just got a chance to take a couple pics Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How hard is it to install these leveling kits? I've never installed anything like them or any kind of suspension work on my vehicles, but I'm very handy and wondering if it's something I can do myself? What's involved? What tools do you need? I don't have a quality jack but could get one. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't have time to read this but I'm pretty positive my DRL turn off on my Silverado if I just turn off the automatic headlights function. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, I noticed that being in and out of there today a few times. Works for me. Not sure about the bedrug over spray. It uses 3M heavy duty adhesive Velcro tape to hold it down so that might not stick. They do make just the bottom piece though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
