    May '24 Chat -- MayDay, a holiday or a cry for help?

    Hoping to take the wife to Northern Minnesota next week. Would be fun to camp, but it’s still close to freezing at night, so will probably take the camper. I need to throw new brakes in it before we leave though. . . .

    L5p lifter failure

    I see a lot more problems on these trucks when guys use them like you. These trucks aren’t grocery getters, they are made for work. I see lots of guys running them hard and towing heavy every day and some are over 200k towing every day and their trucks have been problem free.

    May '24 Chat -- MayDay, a holiday or a cry for help?

    Was getting up to speed and pulling in 2nd with slightly heavy throttle, and it let go like it was thrown into neutral. Still had 1 and 3. Next day, all was fine. Following day had 2 and 4. Now it only has 1, and won’t even attempt to shift. 1 and R are holding tight. Just seems different than...

    L5p lifter failure

    How much weight are you pulling? What’s your driving style? I beat the tar out of my truck and hold it wide open with 20,000+ pound loads behind me up mountain passes. Mine has never missed a beat and the transmission has been flawless.

    Anybody in the Midwest (Minnesota preferably) have a good 4L60E laying around? Just blew the tranny in the ‘01 Tahoe. It went in an odd way, but it has 335k on it, so it did well.

    Brake issue

    Quite bizarre. Hopefully there’s no other issues on this truck for you.

    Brake issue

    I wish she would’ve pulled in still hooked to the trailer. It would be interesting to see if the trailer brakes were functioning.

    2024 2500 with max tow package or 3500. What is the difference?

    3500 SRW with the Duramax have the 12”. And now the 2500 with max tow have it as well.

    2024 Duramax issues?

    When I’m not towing I drive my ‘01 Tahoe. A lot of times we think that our old things were better, but I can testify that the seats in that Tahoe are still fantastic after 335,000 miles and feel the same as my ‘02 and ‘04 when I bought them new. The only thing about that Tahoe and my old trucks...

    2024 2500 with max tow package or 3500. What is the difference?

    It literally is just a matter of what the sticker says on the door jam. For some uses and in some states the tax can be higher for higher GVWR, so the 2500 with the Max tow package gives you the ability to tow the same as the 3500, just with the 2500 badge on the side and a lower number listed...

    What will help my fog lights

    Fog lights, as mentioned, are not supposed to be bright. When you are driving in heavy fog, turn headlights off and turn fog lights on and you can see the road much better. Don’t be one of those dill-holes that puts stupid bright bulbs in their fog housing and then blinds every car that approaches.

    So I did something stupid this weekend.....

    I think it’s interesting that when the LTG came out in 2013 it was 272 hp, now in the CT4 it’s 237/258. Yeah it’s now an LSY, but it replaces the LTG. Just never understood why they dialed back the power so much.

    I’ve always loved those wheels. Looks fantastic. Well done.

    Enjoy hearing about the progress on rebuilding this thing. What pads did you go with after painting the Brembos?

    It seems hard to know when the pistons changed because IIRC, the part number stayed the same. I drive my LTG pretty hard and track it, but I take care of it and it hasn’t given me any trouble, and it’s an earlier engine.

    Michelin - Defender LTX M/S

    I get about 20,000 miles out of a set. They are good highway tires. They will leave you stuck on just about anything besides concrete or asphalt though lol.

    ATS with the Performance package. It’s nothing special to most people, but it was my dream car when it came out, never thought I’d own one. Bought it just before Covid and it was a SMOKIN deal then, now when I think of what I paid it’s absurd. But yeah, with the 6-speed it’s an absolute blast...

    I think those motors are great, even though they do suffer from piston issues. I like them a lot more when they are run through a 6-speed manual and driving the rear wheels 😂. I fortunately have not had any issues with my LTG so far, and I track it and drive it pretty hard. What is your plan...
