I can’t be the only guy wondering if you can just tune the egr and def systems from working? Why does the egr system have to be removed? Imagine the valve would just remain closed. leave everything in tact but remove entire dpf system. is there really no way of accomplishing this with a tuner even now?

Had not made the correlation until doing some googling. Noise started almost immediately after application of fluid film undercoating. began reading that leaf springs should never be lubricated. then after degreasing, there is still some noise, I am trying to figure out if there are any other suspension items that could pop or creak from lubrication.

Did not realize fluid film would cause the leaf springs to be so noisy. I’ve degreased and cleaned springs and bushings pretty well, but they are still super loud on small bumps going slow or turning. im wondering what other components, in front end as well could be causing a sort of popping or clunking sound in front end. I know the rear end is noisy now, but it almost sounds like front end popping at slow speeds as well.. weird issue but any one else have this? Or any body have any ideas?

Interesting, haven’t looked into it but the oil seems to be 10+ quarts on L5p no?

Thank you for reply, very informative..assuming those injectors are under warranty to 100k? On longer trips, wondering now if worth having one or two in truck is not a bad idea especially if backordered?

How’d it go?

Speaking of fuel tank too small for towing on 1500, if there’s no option for bigger tank, looking into the auxiliary in the bed with 12v valve. Anyone done this yet?

Na just plugged and play

Interested as well. Can’t believe there isn’t a bigger tank aftermarket availabke

Buy the module and do it yourself. $50

Sounds like a lot of guys real frustrated with this issue. I’ve given up on dealers. buy the part off eBay and replace yourself. Two screws and one clip….. very very easy

Thanks for reply. What’s the math on your tow capacity on the door jamb?

Trailer is about 7000 lbs unloaded. So it’s pushing the limit when loaded. I’ve driven them before and know how the truck will handle, mileage etc. Just really wondering how the power train, suspension and brakes will hold up. Lifter failure etc. Kind of a broad question. the real answer I’m looking for is someone who’s towed 7-8k pounds for many miles trouble free, OR done so and had serious issues

Posted this in 2014+ forum as well for longer term answer and will ask here as well… Looking into a travel trailer buts it’s near the upper end of the capacity of the truck posting here because I’d like to see how many guys are doing a significant amount of towing with their 5.3 or 6.2 at the upper end of the capacity and if there have been any failures or issues with doing so. of course I know that you shouldn’t go over the GCWR and should probably stay 25% under. But my question is strictly related to how drivetrains and engines have fared after a good amount of miles towing heavy on the gassers? thank you
