There are some campers but I don't know anyone and I wouldn't want to create an issue for their trucks.

I checked the trailer brake fuse and integrated brake controller fuses in the truck, both were good. Pulled apart the two trailer connections, the bumper mounted connection and the fifth wheel connection and both looked good. I inspected the fifth wheel cable and it didn't show any wear or rubs. Doe...

The problem is its still coming on with the trailer disconnected. This is the first time I have had an issue on the road and the big problem is I cant get into any dealers till next week, one of them said the 28th. This is a huge issue when traveling and your over 1000 miles from home.

We departed Grand Forks this morning headed to glacier. About 40 miles down the road I got a service trailer brake warning on my DCIS and lost trailer brakes. I checked the plug and it was tight. Next I unplugged the connection to the trailer and still had the warning on the DCIS, seems light a issu...

Traveler, how many miles did you get on the orginal Bridgestones. How was the noise from the tire.

GM does not show an optional tire for the truck, Michlin will only recomend the OEM size.

Has anyone used the Bridgestone Duravis R250 on their trucks. They have the size that will fit my truck. I would rather have michlins but id have to go up a size.

John, are those the orginal tires that came on your truck. What size did the truck come with? Original tires. The 225/75/R17 are the original tires that came on the truck, They are General Grabber tires. It appears that on the 2010 they increased the size of the tire. Even General doesnt make that ...

I have tried to select Michlin tire for my truck. The truck came with General LT 225/75R17. The Michilin LTZ MS dont come in that size. I was told that going to the larger Michlin tire will cause clearance issues between the dual wheels. They said a spacer could be added. Has anyone replaced their t...

Well, we made it to Tampa, just wanted to report on the truck. After they installed the new fan I only once saw the temp climb. We were climbing up fancy gap in Virginia and I pulled out to pass a truck, the temp climbed to about half way to the next mark, the fan came on and truck cooled right down...

Mike, thanks a lot for the help, the clutch fan would come on but not as soon as when the truck was new. The dealer already changed out the clutch fan, I will let you know if it makes a difference. Thats a nice system, sounds like a good investment given the cost of these trucks. I finished going ov...

During heavy pulls up large mountains my truck temp climbs from the normal 220 to about 230. Its about half way to the 260 mark on the instrument panel. Not sure if it would get hotter, with the small mountians in the east I the max Ive seen in 230 as I reached the top of the grade. I talked to the ...

I have an 08 Chev 3500 DRW Duramax, I couldnt be happier, I get 11 average towing and 16 average unloaded. I just turned 20k on the truck and its as strong as it was new. When twoing I run about 63 miles per hour, just enough to get it to shift into 6th gear. At that speed its pulling about 1600 rpm...

Looking good Bruce, this is going to be a nice ride.
