No pictures with my new Silverado hooked to it yet (GM is supposed to be building it next week) but here is my trailer with my Kodiak chassis motorhome. 28' enclosed car hauler weighs 9900 loaded with the car, quad tools and fuel.228330_1052721962313_3786_n.jpg

I towed our TT for the first time with the new 3/4 this weekend. I have to say on interstate and two lane the bigger truck does so much better. The big three push the half ton esp with the max tow

What mpg does that get loaded down? Have the 6.6 dMax?

Its an 8.1 gasser I couldn't afford the Duramax option it was another 30K LOL (included a diesel generator)

 

The motorhome by itself averages right at 7mpg but I drive it like I stole it 75-78 mph on the highway.

 

Its a little harder to calculate the mileage towing because my typical run with the trailer is just over 70 miles or so one way and we stay the weekend running the generator then fill back up when we get home. The times I have calculated it including generator gas usage it comes up around 4 mpg. If I figure around 6-8 gallons of fuel over the weekend it would come out around 5.5 mpg hauling the trailer.

 

But like I said I don't baby it not even pulling the trailer. It drives like a car, it will even turn tighter than my old 2500HD crew cab. I like to run with traffic because it takes some time to get it up to speed and you either get stuck behind grandma doing 10 under the speed limit or hang with everyone else that averages 5 over or so.

I was finally able to tow something besides my friends 4 wheeler and mine. my fiancé's parents moved houses and one of her sisters car has been KIA for a while now so I was able to tow it. I am assuming that it only weighs about 4k total weight. could be more I have no idea really. I only towed it about 15 miles but the truck pulled great. unfortunately I never exceeded 50 miles per hour as I was on city streets. thinking about getting small travel trailer in a next few years but want to buy smart meaning not buy something too heavy for my truck, as this is going to be my truck for the next at least 7 years.

Me finding out what StabiliTrak is good for. Getting stuck in shallow but slick mud! :( Turning off Traction Control was easy enough to figure out but I couldn't figure out how to turn off the other junk. I know how to now though. Too bad all that BS isn't an option that I could leave off and not pay for.post-111326-0-10612700-1391224342_thumb.jpg

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
