Have you thought about removing the lower valance? That is the plastic piece under the bumper.

I have. I recently saw a post somewhere about removing the valance and it's effect on engine airflow. I guess I need to do some more research on that before taking it off. I do think it would look better without it.

I seen that post where someone brought that up, you will research everywhere you can but you will never find anything/anyone that will say that a GM HD truck runs any warmer with it removed.

 

I managed a huge fleet of them that not only had them removed but also had plow mounts installed making it even worse, these trucks were pulled to death and never had one run warm.

Pick of my new 2500HD!! Delivery room of the dealership.

 

Just picked it up Thursday night. Ordered it on 2/14....wow was that fast!! (Helps that I'm only 6 hours from the Flint Plant!)

 

Can't wait to play with it all weekend.... :)

 

I guess I need to update my Forum handle too. The 2007 was a great truck....zero problems and 124k of very hard service.....the 2015 has big shoes (tires!) to fill.

Just got it. After reading quite a bit on this forum, I plan on:

  • Getting rid of the chrome trim under the bottom of the side windows.
  • Crank torsion bars around 1.5 inches. I like a little rake in my ride.
  • 295 Cooper STMaxx, or the new 285 Toyo RT's
  • Full Ranch Hand front and rear bumpers.
  • Already had a BackFlip F1 bed cover put on.

Just brought home my new 2500 SLT.

I had to order my truck to get the options I wanted. I ordered late Jan. 2015 and picked it up yesterday. It will be going in next week to have to step rails added but otherwise I love it...

Nice! The double cab, long bed looks good! I don't see very many of those around here. I've considered one myself. Don't need the crew cab, but would be nice to have the 8' bed sometimes.

I know,

I looked for about 5 months, And all I could find were 6 1/2 Ft. beds. I ended up ordering just so I could get what I wanted.

8Ft. beds are great in my opinion, Not sure why they don't make more of them .

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
