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.

    • 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)    
    • Ok, I got the all the codes. What do you all think would be a place to start?
    • 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.
