Not to be negative, but a 381M with a SRW???  You are going to be weigh over your payload and likely GVWR...And you might push your GCWR if you load up that trailer. What is your truck's payload, etc. on the sticker?  Guessing around 3,600 in High Country trim?

Thanks and no not being negative at all. and that's what I was referring to when I said I've confirmed from 4-5 people that have them I'm good on payload and GCWR. Max payload for me is 3721, loaded up (remember toy haulers by design offset the pin weight due to toys in the very rear/garage area) I'll be about 2900 pin weight.

 

Max 5th wheel towing for me is 21,200. I'll be around 18k. at 18k + the truck with fuel/humans etc GCWR will be around 26500, max GCWR for me is 29700.

these numbers are on the high end too, normal weights while traveling etc will be less.

Had the truck detailed, paint decontaminated, buffed, polished and ceramic coated. A crew worked on it for 3 days. Paint is looking flawless! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Picked up my 2500 AT4 HD last night.  Dark Sky Metallic.  Unfortunately, the running boards weren't with the truck when it was delivered.  Goes back Friday morning to have those installed along with t

Nice, I really like the Momentum, it may very well be my next trailer.  This is the largest one I have owned owned so far at 38'.  I towed it with my 2500 LMM.  I was definitely running right at my max towing capacity but was actually within my payload and axle limits.  Although, one time on the way back from a hunting trip with 3 elk loaded in the box ahead of the 5th wheel, I scaled it and was 200 lbs over on the steering axle and 600 lbs over on the drive axle.  With the garage loaded up, most of the weight was on the trailer axles which kept the pinbox weight down. 

Sweet! post up some photos of your truck with your trailer! and yeah sounds like you'd be at the limit on the 2500. haha yeah those elks, especially THREE, add up in weight pretty quick haha.

Good thing 2 of those Elk were quite small.  Not a lot of room in front of the 5th wheel.  Even when the meat is broken down and stacked, it still takes up quite a bit of room.

I have a 351M and went to a dually.  Without the toys in the back, I am at a pin weight of 3,400 pounds.  I have not checked it yet with toys, but we camp more than half the time without the bikes.

Oh right, in FRONT of the 5th wheel, yeah no room at all!

I'll agree a dually is the best way to go, but I'd rather have an SRW and no toy hauler at this time than a DRW and a toy hauler. But I'll never not have toys in the back. all empty pin weight is only around 2600lbs. water tanks on the 381 are mostly over the axles as well but I'm also not going to ever need 150 gallons of fresh either. (I lived in a dry cabin, no running water, in Alaska for 5 years surviving off of two refillable 5 gallon water jugs haha and was perfectly happy). 

 

I believe the water tanks on the 351 are a little more forward of the axles as well which of course adds to pin weight especially with an empty garage.

Don't let the weight police get you down.  :)   

 

I would say disc brakes are worth the money on your trailer when you are towing heavy near or at capacity.

Pickup this truck up on Monday.  It replaces a 2008 that I enjoyed for a long time.

2020 LTZ 2500HD_2.jpg

Absolutely love that color with the chrome! This is actually the same spec I hope to get sometime within the next year or so (Cajun Red LTZ with Z71). Funnily enough, my current truck is an '08 too ? I must ask, how do you like the truck so far?

Point Taken.  I loaned my mini to a pair of seniors who had the good fortune of having issues with their main sewer line that requires digging a section up--and they need it fixed now, not later--during this state of emergency.  I just unloaded, unhooked, and left, after wiping the interior of the mini down with sanitizer.  I believe my actions were in compliance with the lock down as I was voluntarily helping seniors with essential services and I never got within 6 feet of anyone.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      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?
