Hauled this. Wow it was heavy, unloaded it myself with a rather smart(only because it worked) trick with a ladder. Put a 2-3 inch scratch in the back bumper in the process, sadly, but didn't go all the way through the paint so you can only tell up close.

Put a bunch of scrap in the bed and she squattn good. Also have the trailer hooked up cause bossman said I can take a bunch of scrap from work with me. Separated the stainless steel and copper and regular scrap. Should be a nice bonus tomorrow [emoji106]

CJ, that aint no load, I need to find the picture of my old 99 C2500 with a load of scrap that had the nut on the trailer ball where you could only put a 24 oz cup under it. It rode on the snubbers for 120 miles, never got over about 45 mph on that trip. :jester:

Well I'm not doing it but I have a guy here at my work refinishing my rims on my 05 Silverado. Been wanting to fix these rims for years as the clear has several areas that have been destroyed by wheel weights.

Bout 6 years ago me and my dad busted up a concrete patio. It took two trips in my truck (back when he owned it) riding on the snubbers to the landfill. Pretty sure he had to get the axles replaced cause I'm pretty sure that's how he bent them haha

You didn't drive through that puddle did you? If so I'm guessing you had to go home and wash and wax the truck lol

Didn't drive straight thought it didn't feel like it. The back tire did catch some of it (photo doesn't show wheel well all that good). FYI I do t wash the truck nearly as often as I would like its a DD and dirty more than it is clean the car on the other hand is a different story

    • I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps. 
    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
