In a couple weeks my wife and I are keeping our 10 year old grandson over spring break and taking our fiver to Petaluma. Among our excursions will be a day trip to S. F. and I'm a little nervous about parking my crew cab long bed pickup. It's been ma...
A question for you folks who have, or are going to, switch to LT tires on your fiver. Are there certain characteristics that make one tire more desirable than another or will any LT tire be fine? My fiver maxes out at 12,000 lbs. loaded so I don't ne...
Is anyone familiar with Brand comb Rd. between Westport and Laytonville Ca.? I'm pulling a 37' fit wheel and wondering if that would be an acceptable alternative to Hwy.20 between Fort Bragg and 101.
I brought home a new 2015 GMC 2500hd this weekend. SLT, pretty well loaded and GORGEOUS! I love this thing! Traded in a '13 GMC that was an excellent truck, just boring. I never fell in love with it. I just had my hitch installed and couldn't wait...
I have a question about generators I haven't seen addressed before. My wife seems intent on getting a genny " just in case" and while I don't want to spend the money I want to do it right. Meaning enough power to run the 15k AC. And QUIET! My questio...
The 2500 runs out of payload WAY to quickly. My 2500 CCSB Denali had 2200-2300 lbs capacity.load 400# of people/dogs and your left with 1900#. Not much left for hitch and pin weight, firewood, etc. Airbags will cost more than any additional cost of t...
I have a 2016 GMC 3500HD and am considering 285/65-18's. You get the same small increase in load rating but the overall tire height is the same as the stock size. It is a nice little increase in width, and everything I've read says it should fit with...
I use about a gallon of DEF per 1000 miles. When the warning comes on I go to WalMart and grab a 2.5 gallon jug for $12 and I'm good to go. Pretty much a non issue. My truck is a CCLB, weighs 8000 lbs. and i easily get 18-20 mpg empty and 10-11 towin...
In one way it's not a very good comparison due to the altitude they're at. The turbo's compensate a lot for the thinner air at altitude while the naturally aspirated motors, like the 6.2, are at a real disadvantage. They do some great tests, but how ...
A buddy of mine with an '02 F250 is going thru the same kind of thing as you. 200,000 miles, the truck is not wore out, but is having A LOT of age related issues. He loves it and is determined to keep it, but he's no mechanic and between what he has ...
