So I found a factory GM Puck system and used the above measurements and I am very happy with the install. I appreciate everyone who posted, it really made the job easier.

I did buy the bracket, bolts and heat shield from my local dealership, $1400, hoping to install this week. I had to find the part numbers, they had no idea what I was talking about. GM is missing out not having a package. Not everyone can just trade in their truck to get a 5th wheel.

Do you have part numbers for the bolts and caps?  I just got the system on ebay for $399 but it does not have the hardware.

Great posts guys !   For anyone ordering a new HD,  I spent $645 on the factory Max Trailer Pkg.(# NHT). Included, 5th. wheel prep. frame crossmember, holes & plugs in bed, 3500HD Frame, 3500HD rear spring pack with overloads, 12 in. Rear Axel, Rancho Shocks, and in bed 7 way connector. This for my 2500HD. No longer need Firestone Air Bags, like I put on my '16 2500HD for my application. Quite a bargain at $645.

Also opted for the Trailer Camera Vision Pkg. Prep. & Software (# TRG)., with Rear Bumper Camera dual Recpts. in the 7 way connector, Includes Hitch Guidance with Hitch View (#PZ8).

HD Front Spring / Camper Pkg. (# F60) was $45.

I tow a 24 ft. Box Trailer / Workshop to job sites.

Does anyone know the torque specs for the crossmember bolts and the bed mount bolts?

Nice job. How do you figure out where to drill out the bed holes? Dykem on the hitch holes to mark the bottom of the bed?

Straight edge across the bed mount holes, measuring forward, and measuring multiple times.  Hopefuly when i get the bed back on tomorrow its good.  Should be fine as the factory covers are oversize to the hitch.

Did you see a reason why you couldn't have turned it 180° to get it over the axle like a long bed?

 

I read it was because of a crossmember. I don't see it from your photos. 

 

Then I read it was for turning clearance with the cab.

The 5th wheel system is rear of the axle so it will provide enough clearance between the rear of the cab and the front of the fifth wheel without having to use a slider hitch. Typically anyone that tells people on the RV forums that they still need a slider for this new truck will have one for sale or doesn't know how to set up a hitch.

      ‘25 Silverado purchase- back to dealership for bumper/radio issue

      By Atomicgrl · Posted

      The no sound problem is the audio amplifier. The audio amp has a heatsoak issue in some circuitry which causes it to miss the wakeup handhake. If it doesn't respond within a certain time parameter, then you get no sound. I brought it in and had the software update, but after further testing the tech made the call for a new audio amplifer. The software update I belive gives more time for the amp to respond, but if the amp is defective then you can still get no audio at times. After the update it went 12 days before no sound. After doing some research, apparently the fix is a new (updated) audio amplifer, the circuitry internally has been improved to better deal with heat. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks because at the time, it was on backorder with no eta. Well the amp came in earlier this week. I had the amp and programming work done today. After picking it up I stopped at a few places, and whenever I started my truck, the audio was on instantly, so whatever they did it appears to work because it's never had sound that quickly......Hope this helps

      Make sure the latch mechanism is properly greased. Look at the catch for fresh marks/scratches. And see if it has moved a little, too.

      Thoughts on these wheels?

      By PBNB · Posted

      I have the 18" black mutilspoke wheels that came with my truck. I like them as they are very subdued and look good with the 295/70's    I am sure that the next set of wheels I get will be some after market all black wheels. Or maybe some AT4X wheels.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Interesting question which you partly answered in the word 'potentially'. I think that is going to be a 'point of reference' inquiry. What are the touchstones?    This will sound petty but it is the main source of end fighting in threads on this topic. Define a motors "Life". Think about the various arguments that have been entertained on these pages in that very argument.    I can only speak from my viewpoint. Engine "Life" in my world is defined by power cylinder integrity. For the majority of engines it is the bore/ring interface that quits first. Loss of seal. Oil consumption and loss of power. Most Pro motor builders would agree and there is a good deal of information on using "Leak Down" as a primary indicator of bore integrity. At home a compression test is more the thing. If we can agree on that then I think CC Jensen has done its homework and I'd find it valid.    Now by my own definition, Dizzy, wife's Ecotec 2.4 I-4 has been dead since about 80K miles. And yet we have logged over 200K miles more on it. "Life" and "Usefulness" are therefore independent.      I know a mature fella right now who has just hit 300K on a Mitsubishi 3A92 NA MPFI motor and has done compression test every 100K. It was 205 psi after break in and is now about 195 and still even. He uses shelf oil but good filters and adheres to a 3K mile OCI. He even do UOA's on each of them for the first 50K.      I also know a fleet mechanic with that same motor that gets 300 to 500 K out of them but the are oil using, wristpin sloppy, skirt slapping motors. He ran one with a piston pin so loose the piston was bouncing off the cylinder head for about 20K miles before he called TOD. Both of them claim success.
