That's good to know. Found it odd that it wouldn't work with a 5th wheel/gooseneck without the workaround.

nothing really planned for this year. We have been busy dealing with some estate stuff. Did do a local trip a few weeks ago so our friends could shake down their new Denali.

The front end feel is something others have mentioned. One thing that might help is to grease the front suspension 9 different grease points. Not many folks have commented that the dealership did this during PDI. All fittings have generally under greased from the factory.

Great looking Truck. Regarding the Camera connection in the bumper opposed to in the bed. The transparent camera (per GM) is only designed to work with a bumper pull trailer under 30'. However many have found it will work with a goose neck/5th wheel over that length.

Lol...I've been known to do the same.

@Jettech1do you remember the torque spec for the shock bolts? I'll be replacing mine this coming week.

Just Had my brakes replaced at 23003 miles for the brake squeal. I have always noticed the weak/soft pedal feel since owning the truck. I even did the push the pedal to the floor hard, all the way trick and it helped some but I found it did not say that way. Since getting the brakes replaced I will say the pedal feel is much improved now. Not sure why, but I'll take it.

Just an FYI concerning tow/haul mode. Per my owners manual page 288: Tow/haul mode is designed to be most effective when the vehicle and trailer combined weight is at least 75% of the vehicle's Gross Combined Weight Rating GCWR.

I installed the 5100's on my 2015 GMC sierra 1/2 ton that had a RC level lift on it. I removed the level lift and installed 5100 all the way around with fronts set on the highest setting. This was a great improvement . The biggest thing I noticed was how quick the truck would settle out after hitting a bump. Cornering was more planted and just a better overall driving experience. I have been kicking around replacing the Rancho shocks on my 2500 HD. I was thinking about the 4600's since I have no lift and the are slightly cheaper and according to Bilstein valved nearly the same. Just wish they weren't blue and yellow. Luckily found the 5100's for under $379 for front and rears. https://www.suspensionlifts.com/shop/chevy-gmc/2500hd/2011-2023/shocks-2011-2023/11-15-chevygmc-sierra-2500hd-4wd-bilstein-5100-0-1-5-front-0-1-rear-shocks/?gclid=Cj0KCQjw4s-kBhDqARIsAN-ipH3D2N9FRCHy1V0q_dd-xhiFurSwv4xig56KI20Lb2OTzKGg7ks71esaAnTJEALw_wcB

The 5er loaded is 10k and the kubota and trailer come in around 5-5500lbs which is lightweight for a 2500HD. Nice load of ash firewood here.

21 GMC 2500HD 6.6 gas I tow a lot of things with it and has never failed to impress.

Nice day at the river.

My son-in-law got me the GM accessories extended mud Guards fo Christmas. Installed them today.

Is it wrong to say " that's a fat a$$ right there"?

Got mine installed today. In my opinion it is perfect. Mellow throaty tone and no drone. Drove it home 50 miles, it sounded great, actually better tone after warming up and getting some miles on it.

Added the Rear Splash Guards in Black with GMC Logo today. They are a little longer and wider. Love the oem look, we'll see how well they do at keeping road grime off.

Good to hear.

This is the second one I have ordered from @filipiak1. Since I have a sierra which is badged on the fenders I want something for under the hood. Originally had the black on chrome, and had been waiting for red on chrome, that is until I saw the white on black. These look great in my opinion. Order, you won't be disappointed.

I ordered mine on 11/12/21. Within 2 days I got the backordered email. Got word from my dealer it had arrived on 12/03/21. Picking it up Monday the 13th. Hang in there it should be to long.

With the 6 vs 10 speed argument a trend I see especially with GM is the more transmission gears the higher the rear gear ratio. I have had several gas 1500 trucks. A 5.3L 4 speed with 3.73 rear end, pulled really well, not the best mileage but acceptable. A 5.3L 6 speed with 3.42 rear end. Pulled acceptable and mileage was decent. 6.2L 8 speed with 3.23 rear end. Pulled somewhat lack luster, but 6.2 made it tolerable and milage was great. I understand my 2500 is a different platform made for pulling /towing. I find the 6.6 gas with 6 speed and 3.73 to be the best combination for pulling/towing for me with acceptable mileage. The diesel vs gas debate gets plenty of fan far, but for me the up front cost difference, maintenance cost and the cost at the pump means I can drive a lot of miles before, if ever making up the cost differences.
