  1. 2024 2500 LTZ crew cab long bed 4x4. We pull a 5th wheel, not a bumper pull but regularly pull horses in a bumper pull trailer as well as a gooseneck. Our 5th wheel is 11,000 pounds GVWR. We've towed about 10hrs on the longest trip - after a mile or two, forgot the camper was back there except for going over bridges with a dip that gave a small bit of a bounce. Same will any horse trailer we pull (probably 8,000 at the most) and we don't even realize it's back there.
  2. I'm not sure what my temps were, but it would take my 2024 about 4-5 miles of driving before my AC started cooling. They replaced my compressor under warranty.

  4. I was under the truck replacing my trailer light module (yay) and while there moving the camera plug to the new instead of the bumper location. I found these weird plugs on the harness and was just curious if anyone knows what they are for? 2024 Silverado 2500HD LTZ (Z71) with all options except folding tailgate and power side steps. There is one plug just attached to the middle of a wire loom and the other comes out of the harness and terminated into a plug not attached to anything. Thanks for any input.
  5. Just an update: Originally got truck back, then took it back in for the headliner swap. 2 days after I got it back, leaking again - but not NEARLY as much water. This time, there was a tiny leak from the roof marker lights, the new gasket they had put on previously was torn (so they say). While it was in the dealer I had them look into the AC taking forever to cool down the air. Turns out they had to replace the AC compressor. Blows ice cold right after start up now, but truck was in the dealer for right at a month. Glad to have it back, but paranoid about issues now.
  6. Is this something I can see without tearing panels out? I can and have taken entire interiors out in the past, but as I get older I find the less effort the better, I only like to tear things out now when there is a purpose. I guess I could use this as an opportunity to dynamat everything or something.
  7. Sometime last week, I noticed a water stain on the headliner in my 2024 2500 LTZ. I took pics and though that I needed to make a dealer service appointment when I got a chance. Then, a few days later it was pouring down rain I was driving and noticed water actively leaking into my cab. Turns out I had a leak from the roof lights and rear sliding window (didn't even know it was leaking back there). So keep an eye out, in case this comes up with anyone else's new truck. One other weird note, the dealership is saying they have to change the windshield to swap out the headliner? Is that legit? I have clear tint on my windshield and I don't want to have to get it reinstalled. Thanks all!
  8. I normally use a mix of 87 and 92, depending on which I feel like buying at the time. I haven't really seen a difference between the 2. I am not sure what the ethanol content is as I usually only worry about that with the lawn mower and atv's. My "normal" gas mileage is around 14 with stop and go traffic, I can get into the 20's (22 showing as best) when on longer highway and interstate trips. I don't get on the gas leaving stop signs or red lights, and I don't idle a lot.
  9. Totally worth it! I have a 2024 LTZ that has every option that the High Country has with the exception of the stiching on the seats and power step bars. It is a crew cab with an 8ft long bed, and IS a pain to park in most parking lots, however, the surround cameras make it a LOT easier AND I can go to Lowe's or Home Depot, put a load of 8ft lumber in and still shut the tailgate. It is hands down an amazing vehicle. It is a bit rough riding unloaded and I currently daily drive mine and get about 14mpg in town, best of 22mpg when I take the interstate.
  10. I am "kind of" leveled. I have 2" drop shackles in the rear as we tow an older gooseneck trailer that needed the bed to be a bit lower. The tires fit perfectly with only a very very slight rubbing on the fender liner in the front at full lock when turning the wheels to the right - no issues turning left.
  11. Here are some more - the GMC I'm parked next to also has Nitto's on there, but I didn't verify the size. I threw in a pic of the solid aluminum folding tonneau cover I found on close-out for $150.
  12. Here are some that I have on my phone. Let me know if you need any closer or different angled pics.
  13. Just throwing this out there - we have local O'Reiiley's auto parts that can build/make steel hydraulic lines. I wonder if it would be easier/cheaper to see if you can have a different shaped coolant line made? Just spitballing ideas, not sure if this would work or not
