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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Gas fill door

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
