Maybe it's pinging? Does running high octane change anything?

Tire pressure. Also I like to carry an infrared temp gun and check the temps of things like tires/hubs/ and I suppose transmission pan since you probably don't have a guage for that.

On the new Chevy 4500's the front clip tips forward for easy access.

As I'm typing this now I'm in Grand Teton park in a campground I had no business trying to fit a heavy 30' travel trailer into. The stress of driving around this place three times! to try to find a spot almost gave me a stroke. There a dude across from me in a primitive homemade truck camper I'm...

I'm hoping the big three will start putting turbo gas engines or bigger displacement NA gas engines in all the HD trucks. I feel kinda silly when half ton eco boost trucks pull the same load faster over the same passes as my HD truck. At least I know my drivetrain is reliable though, none of the...

I have a very expensive(and yes, heavy even more so with the class for 2.5" receiver) weight distributing/ anti sway hitch for towing my 10k pound travel trailer. I found the truck still needed a stiffer rear so I added sumo springs, easier and less headache than air bags. They don't make the...

I like it. I hope Chevy tries to compete and replaces the 6.0 in the hd trucks. It's a little slow towing 10k in the mountains.

Are you sure it's not a stepper motor in the dash? My neighbor has a similar vintage Chevy and found that to be the fault.

1500 suburban GVWR is not 12k, that's dually 3500 territory. I suspect you meant GCWR

Sounds about how my 6.0 6l90e 4.10 combo does pulling 10k over those same passes. Rating is 13k pounds bumper pull. Cruise control wants to downshift to 2nd gear (I think) at 5,000 rpm to maintain 50mph. I'd rather it be in 3rd at 4,000 rpm which will slow down to about 35mph. I don't know how...

The hidden wheel lifts used by repo guys run off a PTO, only thing i can think of straight off.

My neighbor here at the RV park uses this and likes it https://www.campingworld.com/mopeka-tankcheck-lpg-tank-check-dual-sensor-kit?CAWELAID=120030630000003171&gclid=CjwKCAjwt7PcBRBbEiwAfwfVGLkCnd_Oomje567uyVU63cd4PZRHnrkJewLF-rGTaopVsnTwPR46AxoChhoQAvD_BwE

One man trying to help others while everyone gawks, reminds me of my time as a security guard. Sometimes all we can do is try.

I imagine the batteries haven't had a full charge since he's had them. I don't know how the eight volt batteries could be being charged up to 8v if it's a 12v charging system. Therefore I don't know how the appliances could be getting 16v. I could be missing something though. My employer did...

I bought some screen from a hardware store and ran it in front of the radiator and all the other coolers, behind the grill. My temps stay good pulling 10k pounds over mountain passes.

I might rewire my 88p. I know where I can get some mid grade jumper cables for free.

I doubt towing mpg will be much different between the two. The added weight and wheelbase should make the f150 tow better, assuming you're up on maintenance and it doesn't overheat.

Overheated is right, I don't think I have a thumb print anymore!

Finally worked the viar 88p. I don't like it. I've never used one off these portable units before so maybe I'm expecting too much. To take my travel trailer for a trip i needed to air up my stock sized tires from fifty five to seventy five psi. It took almost an hour after letting it cool back...
