    Tow Haul doesn't work?

    I have read that wire can break in several places. I would test the whole length of the wire for continuity before going farther. The TH button is just a momentary ground, that tells a specific circuit on the TCM to activate Tow Haul mode. If the wire is good, there might be something wrong with...

    Question: How can I enhance my towing experience?

    You mention you have Robs tunes but what the truck does not have is the VVT and starting late '05 and up, the trucks have them. It's not usable, from the factory, till 2011 models, but with DSP5 tunes it is. I love it on my '06. Coming down hwy 395 from Mammoth Lakes, is a 10 mile grade...

    2500 vs 3500

    Yea power train is the same, but the pin weight will be way over a 2500's rating. Not sure what the 5th wheel rating of the newer trucks is, but my 2006 is only rated to 14,200. Either way, I would at least go with a 3500 SRW minimum. If you have no aversion to a dually, go that way, best...

    Trailer tires

    I agree, I have seen far better performance, long term, from friends that have switched to LT "E" rated tires or higher, than they or I have ever gotten with the ST tires. No one is paying any attention to what the Chinese are sending over here and the last 6 tires I have bought that were ST's...

    wedge trailer build

    I have wondered about a much lighter duty use for an RV trailer. How much re-enforcing do you have to do to make those work? I'm thinking of something more along the lines of a 15-20ft flat bed for personal use. Probably something along the lines of 8K gross or so.

    Weight capacity on SRW

    Can you get the GCWR increased, legally on a truck (by the DMV I assume) if you upgraded to DRW, or would it just be a matter of taking your chances, if you were over sticker gross? I have read (on the internet, so it has to be true, right?) that the rear ends of the 2500 and 3500 are the...
