Any update on how your Trail Boss is doing pulling your trailer? 

So my LT Trail Boss was due at the dealer on Feb. 3.   It got held up for inspection and has been sitting at the train station in Ohio.  Supposed to be in California the 18th and then a few days up to my dealer.  I wish I knew how it pulled.  But no truck to pull anything!  :(    Will keep you posted though.

Wow, that sucks. I feel your pain; I had an SLT with max tow ordered last fall when they finally started putting the trailering mirrors on them, the the factory cancelled that order cuz they aren't going to build that truck so I ordered an AT4 with the mirrors, that was 9 weeks ago and the build is still at code 1100 so I'm going to buy one off a lot that is close to what I want. Very frustrating.

Wheres the best place to mount the air compressor?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have mine mounted on the frame rail, passenger side. It’s a tight fit/ spot to work but I’ve had it on this current 2020 and my 2016 and never had issue with it there.

I cant figure out where to get the ignition power from. I saw where guys are wiring to the passenger fuse block but i cant see where i can even get a wire into the cab from there. Wheres the easiest place to route the wire i to the cab?

Honestly I haven’t wired up the acc power. Since the ones I have can be run without air, I don’t worry about it and just use the remote every few days to check them. I’m going to wire the acc power soon just haven’t gotten around to it

Where are you coming from, inside the engine bay or from the bed area?

If inside the engine bay there are two decent locations with existing rubber grommets/nipples in the firewall. One in the driver side and one in the passenger side. There are good photos on this referring to the upfitter switch install.

Personally I didn't really notice a difference in unloaded ride quality but at the same time I came from driving a 3/4 ton diesel. Someone was talking about a weight distribution hitch and you are correct about not needing airbags with it. I use my air bags for very short distance trips where I'll end up hauling close to 15k ibs aside from that I just like them to reduce the sag.

Unclebud87, you are the first person I have heard of that is doing something similar to what I do with my truck.  I just downsized from a 3/4 ton diesel too.  I bought a 2020 silverado 1500 4x4 LTZ about 3 months ago, installed a B&W turnoverball gooseneck hitch and hauled hay with it.  I have a 36' gooseneck inline round bale trailer that probably weighs around 13k loaded.  I only haul a few miles and only about 5 days a year so I couldn't justify keeping the diesel for no more work than that.  I take it slow and easy and travel backroads only never getting over 35 mph.  Surprisingly I had no trouble stopping it.  I have been researching airbags and lifts because the rear sags a lot when towing with the gooseneck (also have a 16' gooseneck stock trailer). The boat doesn't squat the rear hardly at all (about 4k I'd say) but both gooseneck trailers do.  Heck just hooking up a gooseneck trailer empty it's already sagging. 

 

I am trying to find out if there are any problems combining a leveling kit with rear airbags and maybe rear 2" blocks and towing heavy.  I guess yours came with a 2" suspension lift so you probably haven't leveled it huh?  I'm also a little worried about the light tires that came on mine and will probably step up to loadrange E 33's once I need new ones.  I just can't bring myself to take off good tires and replace them.  My stock tires are 265/65/18.  Are you running 10 ply tires?  I want the leveling kit and rear blocks to get better ground clearance and fit larger tires.  I've already bottomed the front crossing a creek that I used to do in my old truck no problem.  And don't get me started on that front air dam.  I've hit it way too many times for this to be a 4x4.  I can't tell from the photo, what front grill guard do you have?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Just Put this same system on my truck. Used the U bolt that came with easy mount. One of the quickest installs I have ever done.

I just ordered the wireless one compressor.  Can you post a photo of where you mounted it?

Mounted to Passenger side frame below rear corner of back door. Second photo is intake air filter it comes with mounted it  back of cab in small raised area to protect it

Thank you sir that will help. Do you have a gooseneck hitch installed? I’m wondering if it will get in the way of installing the airbags or motolift.

Did you wire the "optional" pink wire to a 10 AMP ignition-switched fuse for the wireless compressor? I know the location is on the driver's interior fuse panel, but I'm looking for it under the hood.

    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
