What is the average weight that you tow with your 2500HD? I've had to turn down some 18,000lb loads because my truck won't handle that. I'm looking to get another 2500, but wonder if the airbags help out the load enough to support that kind of weight, or I should just get a dually. Don't want the dually unless necessary.

For that kind of weight you'll need a dually

Usually it's an 8000 pound camper. I have pulled a 13000 pound trailer. Truck weighs 8300 alone. Get above a 10k load truck loses speed uphill.

 

18K trailer consideration of dually depends on weight on rear axel. SRW is limited by tire rating.

Usually the load is not very tongue heavy, well balanced on the triple axles. I wouldn't haul them often, so I don't know that I want to buy a truck based around that. Might just stick with a 2500HD, and have it set up about like yours.

Getting these now because the other tires are not in production and on back order for a year or more.

My TOYO M/T tires were awesome for the 1k miles I had them. Guess I need to update my profile and delete the 02 from it [emoji17]

I have driven all day on ice pulling campers before. I like narrow tires for ice.

Oil change, new belts and a motorvac...now she's got her pep back again! Far better than any of those injector cleaners in a can! :thumbs;

Mud terrains are awful on ice

The more siping the better... Which MT's don't have much of. Digging through deep snow is another story. Although I was impressed with how my AT's do in deep snow compared to the mudgrips on my old pickup, I'm sure the locker helps out a little too. No need for 4x4 in 8 inches.

Just need weight in the bed

Just need weight in the bed

To me, adding much weight to a 4x4 is a losing battle. Yes, more traction, but also more weight to stop. Granted, whenever I'm driving in snow I usually have a few hundred pounds of gear in the bed anyway.

 

 

Can't put a street tire on a big truck

These are a 33". Will get great traction.

    • I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob
    • Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.
    • Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks. 
    • There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.
    • Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
