Have you visually inspected the brakes? You could answer all your questions by taking the wheel off and taking a peek.

Great engine. I put 32k on my 2021 GMC 2500 gasser, have 26k on my 2024 Cheby 2500 gasser. Neither have used any oil, tow great, and been super reliable. Highly recommend!

Whoever installed that hitch screwed it up... bring it back and demand it fixed. If the truck was working fine before the hitch install, it is their responsibility to make this right.

Looking to drain and fill the front and rear diffs on my 2024 gasser. Can someone share torque specs for both front and rear diff covers? I have fluid type and capacities, cannot find torque specs to save my life.

You bringing the truck in to the dealer? Good luck. Sure have a lot of leaky 24's rolling around

The funny part is, my wife and I are degenerate car people. We met at a car show almost 20 years ago. We tolerate more than most and don't get as offended from loud exhausts and fast cars as your average person.

I'm telling you guys, this 6.6 gas engine has dreadful drone without a well-thought out exhaust. Slapping a bullet style resonator sounds good on these trucks in place of the stock muffler, but drone is awful. Just ask my family

Congrats @Joel Crow! Enjoy the new rig and trailer.

You get a less husky cornfed gal with a water bed in the back of the truck. Bingo bango

Most reliable kind of power

Appreciate it! Happy holidays as well to you

Quick update: I called my stealership parts department this morning. Had them send me the invoice with part # and price. $809.98 for the whole mirror. Online gm parts stores are $480ish. I called the guy to let him know. No answer. 15 minutes later he called back and we chatted. Told him the cost of the mirror and he couldn't believe it. So, I sent him the invoice and part # and told him so long as it's oem and the same part number, I don't care where you get it! He said great and asked if he could get this figured out the first of the year after Christmas. I said absolutely and Merry Christmas brother. he ponies up!

The guy that hit me admitted he would have just driven off. Didn't think it was "that bad."

LT with power folding mirrors. Completely forgot that was an option. Thanks for the reminder!

Completely ridiculous these dealerships don't even bother checking even when you tipped them off to check.

Very true! More so inquiring on the front diff and making sure it was okay. Judging by his lengthy experience of wrenching, I'm sure he got it right!

Did you fill the rear till fluid dripped out? Oem spec is "Fluid should be 0 – 10 mm (0 – 0.4 in) from the bottom of the fill hole." How did you measure the front? Just concerned you overfilled.

Cinder blocks rest in-between the axle and frame of the truck shimmed with EBT cards

Yeah it really helped. Super easy to just drain it once we hooked up the trailer!

Anytime I have some good weight in the back, truck rides so nice! Back in 2007 when I drove cross country to buy an rx7, my buddy and I drove my 2005 duramax unloaded to pick it up. We bought a crappy inflatable mattress and filled it with water so we had a smooth ride out to pick up the car

Well, my truck has its first bit of minor damage after visiting Home Depot today. Family and I were walking out to my truck parked pretty far away, when a 2010 1500 silverado runs right into my truck, right in front of me. Loudest plastic cracking noise ever . I give my 6 year olds hand off to my wife and run up to the truck with my hands up in the air mouthing, "what the heck?" Old Vietnam Vet gets out "Vet plates" and he goes, did I hit your truck? I said "yep" and we walk over. Turns out, most of the plastic cracking was his passenger mirror going into and under my passenger mirror. No other body damage thank God. My mirror is all scratched up underneath and a few tabs popped out. I keep from cussing and the guy is apologetic, but a bit dismissive. My extreme temper (harnessed and kept in check since I have had a family) was ready to rip. I stopped myself, took a step back, introduced myself and shook the man's hand. My son, now in the truck with my 2 year old daughter, told my wife "that's nice, dad has a new friend! They are shaking hands!" We exchanged phone numbers and I told him look, I'll call around Monday and see what a new mirror would be - not worth going through insurance. He said he is a man of his word and will pay whatever it is. I then thanked him for his service and come to find out, he was a marine from Arkansas in Vietnam just like my recently passed away father-in-law. I hope he will follow through and pony up for a new mirror, if not, just glad no one was hurt and I didn't buy that AT4 I wanted . I wished him a Merry Christmas and he gave me a heartfelt embrace. Maybe I am a sucker . We shall see! He did make one comment that got me irked... looked at me and said my mirror was "in the other parking spot." I looked at him and the 800 other open parking spaces closer to the door and said, "good thing this is the last spot in the parking lot!" This was one of the ONLY times I didn't fold my mirrors in. Lesson learned.

Been meaning to check mine as well. Appreciate you posting this @Jettech1!

My current setup, IMO, sounds amazing. I have had a lot of compliments on the sound as most people think it's stock. Low grumble, zero drone, most importantly I saved a ton of weight getting rid of that trashcan muffler.

I have put in 2 exhausts and made one custom for these 6.6 gassers. Your perception of drone must be a hell of a lot different than mine. The mbrp droned so bad while towing. I had to add an additional packed resonator to my most recent setup to eliminate the rasp as well. The oem muffler is chambered super well, I was impressed when I cut it open. These engines drone and rasp like crazy without any resonance reduction.

It would sound awful and with terrible drone. At least a straight-through bullet resonator is needed.
