    LML Poor fuel mileage when towing

    That would be part of the issue. Anything above 60 is going to be a cost benefit analysis. Is it worth getting there a few minutes sooner vs. saving money? My trucks completely stock, I'm not sure what the two things you changed would do to MPG. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2016 GMC...

    LML Poor fuel mileage when towing

    I have 2016 3500 crew cab 4wd. Towing my 17,000 5th wheel with a combined weight of 25,000 I get 11.8-12.3mpg average depending on city and mountains. Cruise set at 62 as much as possible. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2013 GMC Sierra 2500 CC 4WD 2016 Jayco Northpoint 377RLBH

    How much can I tow comfortably

    GM says 14,700 with a fifth wheel. Which I would say is not uncomfortable or unsafe for these trucks, but as long as you stay at or under that its up to your comfort level. With your truck you will have plenty of options to pick from in the 5th wheel class that will not exceed 14.7k. Airbags...

    Need Some Advice on Duramax Repairs..what makes sense

    My suggestion was that he at least see what the option would cost him, before I spend 25% of the vehicles value on 1 repair I would know what my options are . He can put 2500.00 in the truck, but its still worth what it is now. If he needs it for his livelihood, it can't be out of service for...

    Need Some Advice on Duramax Repairs..what makes sense

    I would at least go to a couple dealers and see what a new one will cost you. If your trucks worth 9k and you have $2500.00 you essentially have 25% of a new truck. You could get a brand new duramax work truck crew cab for close to 40-43k. (Not sure if you are looking for reg, ext or crew.) they...

    Half ton towing

    I towed 5500-6500 with my Nissan Titan. (27ft toyhauler) The truck was a towing machine, for 1/2 gas pickup. It's tow capacity was up to 9500lbs. I know the truck could have done it power wise and I had a high end brake controller. However I viewed it as just because you can, doesn't mean you...

    Bought new 5th wheel toy hauler

    I have a bumper pull toyhualer. When I bought it I only had a 1/2 ton. While I've never had any issue with smell from toys in the back, if I had a 3/4 at the time I would have gotten a light weight 5th wheel and get a aluminum flat trailer to put the toys on and tow behind it. It so much easier...

    Tonneau cover

    Got the Tonneau cover on. For $220.00 delivered, I'm pretty happy. It's a trifold so I can uncover the generator and still keep the tool box covered . Takes less than 2 mins to put on our take off.

    Towing. Anyone use WD bars?

    I have the sway bar, I usually attach it, and if it gets windy, I will tighten it up. Even with my Titan I never had any real issues with sway, but that's also mostly on the east coast also. I'll hook them up just to be safe. It is nice when I just need to move the camper around the house I...

    Towing. Anyone use WD bars?

    I hooked up my camper tonight and it only brought the rear of the truck down 2-1/4 inches. Camper weights 5500-6000 loaded. The trucks damn near level without the bars hooked up. Is it necessary to use them? I know I can shift weight forward with them, but I haven't had a chance to run into the...

    Cb radio install

    Just got a 2013 GMC 2500. First diesel, other than when I drove trucks. Old CB lighting didn't match, so I got a deal on a new one. Installed in an hour, no drilling or splicing.
