Is that a 28' Enclosed?

It was my coworker's trailer that I borrowed, so I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's a 26'

Hauled this hog home yesterday.  2009 X720 with 228 hours.  That little 2.8 Duramax sure pulls good.  Not gonna lie, I see the hook (or is it addiction) with diesels and towing (please GM the 1/2 ton diesel better be good).  Apparently my brain doesn't work as both times I've towed with my Colorado, I've forgotten to take a shot of the truck and trailer.  Doh!

Do you need the wheel weights on the lawn tractor?

 

I really liked the X7 series that I ran.

Which mirrors are those?

 

Nevermind.  I thought that was a 1500.  Started at the end and going backwards.  I see the Duramax emblem now.  :)

Here's my '10 Silverado 5.3 just switched from 3.08 to 3.73. Took the kids to South Dakota this summer and my step-dad up north for deer opener. c48e3e6492541f9d32e0603bb581a012.jpg3382d2c704aa1c2fe271e21b66386ed4.jpga32b85e8dce24e672ea9d55cc901105b.jpgcac4c9b3efc7a692ad2bfda7e2c073c4.jpg86c3dfb2cb4051e672ae91e7afeb67f4.jpg

Went out for a trial run today. Had to buy bigger hooks to fit the 20k receiver. But this beast towed really good. With the ProPride, it was what RV is back there. Made 8k almost non existent. Goin to be loving life now even better. RV is a 14 Salem 272RLIS.

They are also available on 1500's. 

RPO is DPN.

Here are a couple of pics from my travels. first is my 06 dmax with my rig and second is my 16 1500. I was not sure if my 1500 was up to the challenge of my rig but I am here to report that in 2010 I hauled 4000 miles with and average of 11 miles per us gallon. 2017 hauled same rig thousand pounds lighter with my 1500 gas for 4500 miles with and average of 11 miles per us gallon! same mileage. Yes my 06 with the banks 6 gun pulled the hills better but not way better. And I pulled the continental divide both times including the Rockies. I am super impressed with my 1500. pulls like a champ.

She sits just right with the load on the trailer.

    • More is cylinder deactivation. Kia-Hyundai Ive had 4. The warranty is the same 10 years 100K miles. My grandson drives the first one 05 Elantra GT. My wife drives the second one 2011 Genesis. The Genesis still performs as new and looks great. The Elantra looks rough. He’s not kind to it. The third was a Genesis coup. The fourth was a Santa Fe. Those were my daily drivers. I don’t keep them long. Kia is the same as Hyundai with the same warranty. I looked at the K-4 today. Too small, otherwise pretty good buy. Most of Hyundai and Kia’s have a performance upgrade. 
    • Thanks for the point of reference 
    • Great question. Answer....depends. One the volume of the crankcase, the driver that will actually be using the vehicle and the amount it uses plus the distance expected for that next trip. Couple of for instances:   Wife is going to drive Dizzy to Moline and back plus a bit around town so say 500 miles on the day. I know from years with that SUV that around town and local rural it uses about a quart in 1250 miles. But on the Interstate and her at the wheel without her anchor nagging her she'll push it and it will drop a quart in about 800 miles. Hence, around town I wait to somewhere between a quarter down to a quart down. On her trip I'd top it if it was down a few ounces and hope for the best.    Have I overfilled one? You mean by adding before it needs a full quart I assume. No, not once after finding the true fill mark.  I know the dipsticks of everything I drive and add what it needs. I learn this by doing the first oil change a quart low. Run the motor for a few minutes. Let it sit over night. Check and mark. Then add half a cup at a time making note of the place on the stick. I add through the dipstick tube with a barbeque basting bottle. Give it a few minutes to drain down and check again.    A vehicle like Dizzy that uses this much oil will take a few quarts between 3K changes. I keep one in the vehicle with the bottle and a bag. (Mindful of it's fullness) Not a big deal and never makes a mess of it. There is no such thing as "multiple quarts' in my shop for any specific oil. There will be a maximum however of the number of different oils used over the fleet.     Dizzy holds a nominal 5 quarts. So the first fill was indeed over as it actually took 4.75. My vehicles are fit with Valvomax valves so I can meter an ounce on the drain if need be. Found her mark first crack at it. Never to be repeated.    Pepper uses none between changes so I don't keep a quart in that one. Straight up 6 quarts put her dead on the full line. Check it ever fuel stop. They will surprise you when they start using.    Raven holds 3 liters or 5.44 ounces over three quarts. I add 3 quarts and 6 ounces. That gives me 5 oil changes on my orphan quart.    Lawnmower holds about 3/5 of a quart. I don't over fill it to prevent an orphan. So yea, depends. 
    • 185k on original 6.2L engine and 10 speed. 6" lift with 35" tires. Changed oil (Mobil 1 synthetic) when truck told me to. Original tranny with original fluid and no service or flush done. All highway miles. A/C compressor replaced at 155k. Oil cooler line replaced at 180k. Still daily driver. Love this truck.   This is my 3rd 6.2L vehicle (2008 Yukon Denali / 2018 Cadillac Escalade) with over 150k miles and no issues. Denali had broken motor mount at 100k.
