You guys have some really nice toys you're towing there! :dunno:

 

I tow two snowmobiles and a seadoo. I don't have any pictures as of yet :D I'll have to work on that. You guys make me jealous though with all your toys.

I only towed it once and it was from next to the garage to the back of the property for the winter, so that's the only picture I have for now. There is two feet of snow now around the trailer. Can't wait for May to arrive to start camping again.

Man, usually anything I tow is just junk or for the house... (furniture etc). Haven't really towed any of the toys yet... no car trailer for the Corvette, it is stock so it's a driver anyway... though I do plan on taking it to the track and making an auto crosser out of it eventually.

 

Same with the bike... only time I have towed it is when there is too much snow on the ground or it needs a trip to the shop because it isn't running. Didn't think to take pics of that since it's embarrassing :lol:.

 

Nice looking toys everyone! Love the classic cars and big campers! And I agree that Camaro racing is a GREAT shot!

Found this thread while looking for input on brake controller. I tow my sled trailer but plan to upgrade it to a 14' enclosed over the summer with ebrakes. When I go it alone, I just put it in the pan. My sled sticks out a little .. but not a big deal.

 

Filthy after a 3 hour trip up north ...

Brake controller aught to be pretty simple on that rig. I just installed a Tekonshaw P3 on my 09 Suburban in about 10 minutes time while I was out in Wyoming. I do sell them if your interested. gobigparts.com

Not the best picture in the world, but here's the '09 a day after I bought it. I dragged the wheelers 3.5 hours north for a week of riding. I'm not sure that was part of the break in procedure, but oh well...

Not to long after I got my truck I we had a lot of rain and I was talking to a friend about how much fun driving thru the puddles was. He responded with how much he hated all the rain and asked if I'd help him get his truck to the shop cause if couldn't handle the puddles.

    • I have A 2020 1500 5.3 8 speed. LTZ. Transmission problems since 60,000 miles. Started when I go to store in morning to get my morning coffee before work leave truck running get back in put it in drive/ rev no movement step on gas a little slams into gear. Put in neutral step on gas little shake then put in gear and gose.  Shut truck off start .. ok now at stop light stop truck after a few seconds feel a little kick if that doesn’t happen stuck in 3/4 gear shut truck off wait few seconds and start usually ok again. If you down shift manually ok as long as you get into 1st before stop. If not it kicks . I WANT A NEW TRANSMISSION. Now I want a new truck it just hit 80,000 IDK IF ILL BUY CHEVY CAUSE THEY STILL HAVE THE PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO RECALL . Oh I’ve changed the fluid and filter 3 times now. And yes used mobile 1 not ac/delco cause it’s not meeting the requirements that mobile is did use ac/delco filter 
    • Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.     
    • I'm looking at carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand and lumbar fusion. 
    • While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
    • Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
