Haha, yes it does. Its a 4.8l with a 76mm turbo and a TH400 on E85. Just getting it together but the best so far is 6.04@117mph in the 1/8th.

 

Here is a better pic of the motor/turbo setup. The downpipe is temporary until I put the bigger turbo on.

Pulling a 2015 Shadow Cruiser 280QBS with my 15' Sierra 1500, 5.3 and 3:42's.

Trailer weighs just over 7000lbs loaded with supplies and a full tank of water. With the wife, kids, dogs, and gear my truck is practically teeter tottering the GVWR.

Initially I was just using a standard WD hitch until my Reese Strait Line came in... I can honestly say that was horrifying. The hitch was adjusted properly but the wind would really push the truck around like a toy.

Now with the sway control hitch it's 10x better, I can feel the occasional gust of wind but nothing alarming. The 5.3 pulls and stops the trailer surprisingly well.

Not as big as jamin87ss's super boat aircraft carrier :driving: but my 15 Denali 6.2 tows it great. Also have a 7k tilt trailer car hauler that I haven't towed with the truck yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Probably will come close to 9klbs one day

Hey guys, first poster here. Towing a 4500lb Coachman Catalina 27" TT. Really impressed honestly with my 3.08. While i bought the truck without realizing the rear ratio (totally my fault), but it pulls really well running in 5th most of the time on the freeway at 65mph. after all the negative comments about the 3.08 rear end i was nervous about how it would handle the load. No issues AT ALL. thanks guys!

How much does the boat and trailer weigh and what are the specs on your truck? Do you have any problems towing it?

 

somwhere between 9500-11000 tows like a dream,,,,,,,,,,,,, well thats exaggerating, honestly it tows very well, plenty of power and the active grade control is amazing, my 05 did it ok, this thing does it just fine, glad I steered away from a 3/4ton,

Now that looks like a fun toy. I would ask for a ride, but I am on the other coast.

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!

      2026 Z71 Forward and Rear Park Assist help

      By Slow · Posted

      2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.

      Post Pics of your "Other" Rides

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.
