I bought a Trail Boss a month ago in the outer banks of North Carolina and have driven it back and forth several times in very windy conditions and it does not wander whatsoever. Definitively something to get checked out.

Would you mind shipping me some Duck Donuts, lol?  There used to be a franchise near Los Angeles, but it's now closed permanently.

Totally agree with you!!  Can’t stand “EGO” lifted trucks. Give me a nice standard or even 1 inch front 3 inch in back leveled lowered truck. Sporty/sinister looking. 
 

I would suggest that he take it to dealership and have them check alignment. They get out of alignment from the delivery truck’s ratcheting them down so hard. My 2017 was “toed-in” BAD, had about 1500 miles in on it when I noticed tires wearing. Funny thing was it didn’t pull left or right at all much.  Happen to notice it when it got done getting tinted and my buddy was looking over all the windows and the truck and we noticed it. 

This could surely start a pissing match.  I'm no fan of lowered trucks, but damn, did you need to go into the ego?  My penis is already small enough that i got rejected to do pornos.  I don't need to hear about how people are compensating with bigger trucks.  🤣

😂🤣😂.  Not my intention to start a pissing match. Just tired of all these lifted trucks. H$LL GM has 6 in their d@mn lineup!  It’s cumbersome….they should have the ZR2 and you can order it the way you want it. GMC should do the same way with the AT4X.
Then they should offer a lowered SS version, (like the 03-06 models…..love that stance/look) optioned the way you would like too have it. Then charge $10k for a supercharger option on any of their trucks, with a 3 year 36k warranty. Kinda like Ford does with their Shelby or Roush vehicles. Done deal. 
I want GM to start getting aggressive in the performance market. They seem to just cruise along, instead of hitting the gas and really getting after it.

I'd love a supercharged ZR2 Verdon, too.  Does this mean we're both compensating?

I'm only compensating for the unsustainable desire to go fast and smoke as many wanna be muscle car drivers as I can!! LOL! 


I guess I've been "annoyed"  around here in the Midwest by "smaller heighten gentlemen" who have their trucks lifted 6-8 inches, loud/terrible sounding exhaust, offsetting wheels that stick way past fenders, and your wonderful "nuts" hanging from the rear bumper. They look so ridiculous. Even my 9 and 12 year old kids ask my wife and I, "why the heck does that truck look so "DUMB"....We just look at each other, laugh, and shake our heads 

 

Now GM's six trucks they make from factory with the two inch lift, don't look bad at all! I really like the ZR2, ALOT, but do they need SIX of them???  That's all I am saying. Offer 2 that can be ordered any way with the options of a  Custom, LT, LTZ, or High Country.  

 

Then also offer a street truck for other gentlemen who don't use their trucks for off-roading. Heck. I'll admit it, I don't use my truck for off-road use. I use it to haul my family to events, haul my boat to the cabin, and haul my side by side to the Black Hills. I use it for those purposes. If I had a supercharged truck, I'd do all of those and also take it to the track occasionally 

 

I could see myself in 2 years buy a ZR2 if GM offers more power to them. They are an aggressive looking truck, and if GM doesn't offer a street truck!  Right now they have nothing over my High Country that makes me want to trade, for how I use my truck! 

 

I am going to wait 2 1/2 years because I think ALOT will change with GM and other manufacturers once "someone" else gets into office!!

I do go offroad, so the Trail Boss works for me.  I have the 6.2.  My truck is also the family hauler.  However, I'm in Southern California.  The electric cars are driven by a bunch of a-holes who floor it and zip in front of everybody then slam on their brakes.  I see it coming, but they're nothing I can do.  The truck just isn't quick enough.  More go power would prevent the cutoff.  I think I'll add an aftermarket supercharger once the powertrain warranty expires.

Lot damaged?

Perhaps the porter got a little excited and jumped a few curbs or parking blocks with it before delivery. Put it on a rack to check the frame.

Did you drive the truck with the original 18's on it?

Did it wander then?

How many miles on the tires?

Likely when they were swapped the tires were moved around and didn't go back on where they came off on the old truck.

I would love to, but my doctor prohibits me from entering those premises.

Hi, I did not drive it with the 18’s the dealership swapped them for me and I drove off. 
 

tires were not taken off rims just direct bolt swap over.

Does your truck have this button? If so try turning it off. The dealer may have told you your truck doesn't have it but if this button is there I bet it does. Yes the video shows a 20 Silvy but the button and function are the same.

No it does not, was not available when the dealer ordered the truck

Agreed!  Even after upgrading my tires to 305/50R20s I don't have wander....just crap mileage.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.

      He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.
