Our last camping trip of the year.  Tows great.
 

 

Did around 200 miles round trip mostly interstate at 70-75mph, averaged 11mpg, running at mostly 22-2500rpm, 3-3200rpm on the bigger hills.  I am happy with the way this truck tows, and overall just happy with it.

Picked up a new toy today, 2019 Yamaha 242 SE.  My auto leveling rear airbags worked flawlessly.

Nice boat and truck! What brand of airbags do you have? I bought an AT4 a few weeks ago and want to get a leveling kit, but will need to get airbags once it's installed.

Personally not a big fan of airbags i would try a weight distribution hitch to minimize the squat before trying airbags.

Do these trucks squat quicker than the K2s? 

Yeah, I know I am replying to an old post, but I just came from a 2003 Ram 1500 QC 4x4 to a 2020 GMC SLT 2wd, and the squat difference is HUGE. I have no idea if 4x4 suspensions are stronger or not, but I just put helper springs on the GMC, squat was awful compared to what I was used to.

I think they intentionally designed the rake into the towing setup.  My front and back fenders were within a half inch of each other in my pic above.  I guess if you level your truck it’s really going to squat.

This was a few weeks ago. I adjusted the LDH after taking this photo and got her a little more level.

    • If there are updates/fixes you want, you could pay to have the updates applied by the dealer.
    • Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?
    • Sure. Buy it for me 🤣
    • Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣
    • I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.
