  1. I took my buddies and my SXS's from St louis to Moab Utah last year at the end of august the weather was hot A.F. but did not have any issues with heating up. Mine is a 6.2 max tow and hauling 7K+ lbs. 2 sxs on the trailer plus a bed full of luggage, spare parts and tools. we went through colorado springs / monarch pass ( i think) on the way there as 70 was closed due to fires, took 70 back through denver on the way home and didn't have any temperature or power problems either way.
  2. Go with a DSP amp or a separate DSP and amp(s), I have just started putting equipment in mine and have a Helix DSP with Damore and sundown amps
  3. I finally have all the equipment to start upgrading my non Bose also. Depending on how deep you want to get in to it you can do anything from a basic upgrade to a full system. I am replacing the speakers in the doors as well as the dash adding a DSP, 3 amplifiers and a sub as well as sound deadening. if you look through the Mod section a guy just posted a full build log in there and if you dig deep enough in that section there is a 40+page thread on audio upgrades.
  4. Not that I know of they have gotten pretty damn integrated now
  5. For uh educational purposes.....I pushed it in to a couple cloverleaf on/offramps and 40-42 is about all i can do comfortably the back still feels reasonably planted but I could be on the edge of traction I am not in the habit of pushing it in the truck so I don't have a great feel for it, however there is allot of body roll toward the front driver wheel.
  6. Is the sway only an issue on the trucks with the adaptive ride control? I have not noticed it much in mine, I mean it doesn't handle like my old Grand cherokee but its a truck....Mine is the 6.2 with max tow so mine might already sprung a little stiffer
  7. Mine will flash rapidly several times per second if I lock my truck by pressing the button on the outside of the door handle. However it will act completely normal if I use the key fob to lock the truck. Not sure of why it acts differently but it is 100% repetable like that. Only the brake/tail lights flash rapidly
  8. I have the stock bridgestone all terrain tires on my sierra and they seem to be wearing really fast, I have rotated them at each oil change and they are down to 6-7/32 is this normal for these tires? Also I have found the "all terrain" aspect of them to be quite lacking I have had road tires with better offroad performance than these....All that being said I have about 14K miles on them and 10K+ has been towing a 6000lb trailer, is that amount of towing the reason for the fast tread wear? any suggestions on what to replace them with at this point they will probably be replaced before fall.
  9. I would love to dechrome mine but without doing the bumpers too on my SLT I think it might look a bit weird.
  10. I believe those are just for T tapping signal to add a sub, I am doing a full replacement while trying to reuse as much factory wiring as possible That is why many of us have opted to use a loopback harness
  11. the dash and door speakers (at least on the non Bose) are the same channel and there is a passive crossover inline on the dash speakers you will need to run a new wire from the amp to run active. That is what John told me when I ordered the harness, but yours being bose may be different.
  12. When I had my bed sprayed with linex they told me there was only a skeleton under the plastic and did not recommend spraying the tailgate
  13. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WRPPXNK/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07WRPPXNK&pd_rd_w=DJtD8&pf_rd_p=4269e1a0-a218-4fbd-9748-1cd337d2f2a5&pd_rd_wg=9yuWz&pf_rd_r=RYQV9NZ1AQX1BAT9NBAX&pd_rd_r=d96d1a02-4cba-42e3-b8f9-d9dde0d8a89e&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEyTlZKTVBaSEFYVko5JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNDQ5OTk0U0g0MUdOTTNHR1I0JmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAxNTYzMDgxV1FSS0VDQVpJOUYxJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== I use soft shackles and actually used them last weekend to winch my truck and trailer into and out of my camping spot, BTW the stock all terrain tires are completely useless on anything more interesting than a gravel road.
  14. I have a 2020 6.2 sierra crew cab full size bed mainly a tow vehicle for my trailer and sxs. are you going full time AWD with that amount of power? I have trouble putting the power down in RWD 100% stock especially when I am towing I can get wheel spin when it shifts up to around 50 when merging on to the highway if the road is even mildly damp towing I have to put it in auto/4 high.
  15. I have also noticed an audio change between Sat radio and bluetooth pretty significant difference on the same song. I assumed it was from the factory radio audio processing.
  16. I had my bedliner done with linex they pulled all the plugs and then sprayed
  17. the pac LP7-2 is a standard line out converter the LP7-2-R adds a remote volume control.
  18. not sure on the lead time, I emailed a question to them about their full "the boss" setup friday but have yet to hear back. Well as soon as I complain they respond....
  19. I have a 20 and if anyone comes out with a replacement oversize tank i would be interested mine guzzles the gas when I tow and so far 75% of my miles are towing.
  20. had a sneaking suspicion that would be an issue.....damn back to the DSP route I guess....Are there any DSP's out there that do not require a separate volume control? Had one years ago on a mustang and it sounded weird if you used the factory volume and I want to avoid that issue.
  21. does the trailering app work in the new headunit? any features lost?
  22. Rearview safety 3 camera system i went with a hardwired system but they have wireless options.
  23. I installed cameras on my toy box personally don't care for the look of the "tow mirrors" i just unplug the monitor and pull it down when not towing.
  24. You swapped the entire head unit? what did you go with to replace it?
  25. I did look at my trailer and the brake wiring and drums look good, Guess I am assuming the different brake feel is the difference between a controller that has inertia and proportional vs just proportional.
