  1. I've decided to pass on that 3500hd with No service records or No receipts of anything done, just seemed like a quick sale before something big mechanically happens. Thank You all for your comments, Later-
  2. Thank You newdude and davester, my biggest hesitation is with that many miles something is bound to break, and could be very expensive. Good to hear real thoughts from experience, Later-
  3. Hey, looking at a 2018 3500 dually 6.6l with 300,000 miles, pictures look good, but is it too many miles?
  4. Thank You GAMark and AndrewF, great video and really like the PID Display.
  5. I hear your Pryme, 17 mpg+ is great compared to my 2000 2500 6.0l getting 12 mpg at best, Later-
  6. Hey Chuck, Happy Easter, the truck was started up for about a minute while I put on boots and jacket. I set the cruise between 58 to 60 depending on traffic, had a few stop lights, and it was about 50 degrees. Even though it was a short ride of 52 miles one way, it surprised me it did 20 mpg, Later-
  7. Hey Bruce, was nice to see what this engine/trans can do under optimal conditions. Just was shocked by the mpg and had to take a picture. Later-
  8. Hey, did a 52 mile drive each way with a few hills, but mostly straight roads, then looked at a 20 MPG Surprise. On the way back home with several stop and go still had 16.2 mpg, not bad for the 6.6l gas with 10 speed. Later-
  9. Yes, you are correct, but when I upload picture it turns upside down, but gooseneck is 18,200
  10. Hey new dude, mine is different than yours, not sure why
  11. Thank You rjgvt, I don't have the 5th wheel option on my truck, unfortunately. Jettech1, wow, Thank You for the great explanation of towing TT and 5th wheels payload, much appreciated.
  12. Thank You UWSkier, I was towing this TT with a 1500, max tow, until afm started, and went up 2500hd. Big difference in towing especially with wind, but not sure on mountains yet. Thank You No F-bdy Bs, lol no money pile here, just planning the future. Never had a diesel, but lots of friends that do, they love them for towing their fifthwheels. But, our current routine of small daily miles with Grandchildren is probably not ideal for the diesel engine.
  13. Common Sense tells me something is Wrong. GM will put Bulletins and point fingers, just like the Denial of afm Distroying my engine on a 2018 6.2l. I'm old school, the Only Time you should need to add Oil is if your way over Oil changes or way over working an engine but pulling a 7500 pound trailer is not it. I know it says at 7500 miles oil change, but heck it could say 10,000 miles if GM wanted to convince people, but I change around 5000 miles even though it has become very expensive. Really like this 6.6l gas, but if people are using oil, especially 2 quarts, GM has a problem and they need to figure it out before it becomes another recall. Just my 2 cents, Later-
  14. Hey Byrds8, yes my payload is there but not fifthwheel, just didn't want to push it to the max of what it really can do, not GM numbers. Hey Buck, my payload is 3534, so I should be fine there, we'll at least until my wife starts packing. No doubt a Diesel would be much better, but 90%+ of my driving is Grandchildren to school and 10 mile trips to town. Thank You both for your suggestions, Later-
  15. Thank You Dale, very good news that this 6.6l gas will be enough. Yes, you are correct, I have the 10 speed. Will look up Martin Campground, like new places and new friends. Looking forward for the future, Later-
