Nice rig towing that 7,000 lb beauty. I have the same rig in Pacific Blue.

 

Two weeks ago got a call from a nearby friend at 5 PM whose Corvette broke down immediately after a fuel stop in Georgia, about 225 miles from home here in Florida. The shifter cable broke when going into gear to leave. 

 

Loaded tools and floor jack and hooked up my 23' Continental enclosed car trailer. This was the first time I hauled it with my PB '20 AT4. Hauled many times with my c06 5.3L Silverado, which did the job but struggled. 

 

The AT4 pulled it superbly, empty around 3500, about 7500 with the Corvette loaded in, including its full fuel tank and a fully loaded trunk.

 

Long night. Got there at 10 PM, got food, loaded the car then took off after midnite headed home. Arrived 5AM safe and sound, albeit enroute to GA,  that one rogue orange rubber cone I hit when next to a 18 wheeler with nowhere to go in late night road construction. Truck got no damage but the trailer got it in the face and wheel well after it flew out behind the truck.

Scarab 30 Tournament behind my '21 6.2 with Max Tow Package. Boat and trailer come in at 9600 lbs without fuel or gear. Fully loaded with 280 gallons of fuel it scales at 11,200 lbs, just under max tow rating for the truck. I do not tow any long distances fully fueled, just fill up right before reaching the launch.

Nice boat.  Details please.   

 

2018 Alumacraft Trophy 185 w/ Honda 150. Very versatile setup. Handles big water great and does just as well on small inland lakes.

That's a great set up.  Real nice.  I've been kind of on the look out for something a little smaller for smaller lakes, like a Competitor 175 CS or a Sport.  A local dealer sells Polar Krafts and was looking at a 179 Frontier WT.  Or a 16ft something tiller with a live well since getting in and out of small lakes up near LongLac Ontario can be challanging.

Very nice!  I'll bet she scoots really well too. 👍

I will rarely tow the boat as it will live on a lift as soon as they replace the old lift with the new one to fit the new boat, but here's what it looked like bringing it home. Truck is a bit squatty with it, as the boat/trailer are close to max, but it's got brakes on all 6 wheels so it handles and stops well for the small amount of towing I'll be doing.

I tow this frequently in the summer.   Kids started getting into water sports and my old “speed boat wasn’t working out well.   So I found this.  Don’t really need a ski boat, but I’ve always thought the old style low profile boats were cool, this ones all fiberglass, no wood, and a 350 Chevy.

Towed this 21 ft Tahoe from DC to Huntsville.  Didn't even know it was back there.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
