Re: 2005 cardinal 33" trailer

Mine is a 30TS. It is close to 33 ft. long so we really need to know what model you have. I have a 2500 Dmax. It pulls it well but is maxed out on weight. I haven't had it very far west of the Mississippi but have traveled in KY., TN., and western PA. without any problems.

Re: Bad day yesterday for my tv

Is that a dent at the far left of the crack? If it is that could be where the crack started.

I-75 in KY.

I spotted a Cardinal on I-75 southbound about 3p.m. Thur. near mile 70 in KY. He was stuck in a tremendous traffic back up. Then that night the host of the Dry Ridge campground in northern KY. also had a Cardinal. I told her about the club but she didn't seem interested.

Re: 2008 chev sevice trailer brake warning "stranded"

I got the same message several years ago. I hadn't had the trailer hooked up in several weeks. The truck was still under warranty so took it in. I think they said it was the module mounted on the frame near the left rear wheel. I'm sure there are other possibilities so you will need to see a dealer.

Re: Glow Plugs Keep Quiting

The glow plugs only are used for cold start. I had 2 of them go in a couple of weeks last year. I would not be worried except that with the SES light already lit you won't know if something else goes wrong.

Re: Trailer sway

Is it trailer sway or TV. If it is trailer then front tire pressure will have little if any effect. If it your truck wandering so you have to make constant corrections then front tire pressure could be the problem. If actual trailer sway I would be looking at the trailer suspension.

Re: Truxedo Lo Pro QT

When I looked at covers a few years ago the saleswoman that I talked to about the jackrabbit told me that she could not recommend it to me because I live on a dirt road. She said the dirt would constantly get into the rails and be a problem. I had to give her and A+ for honesty. I still haven't foun...

Re: 245,853 GM unsold pickups (Thats alot)

They usually build up the inventory before a changeover.

The plant is probably due to be closed for some time and then they ramp up production slowly to make sure they get things right.

Re: GM to Offer 8-speed Transmission

I'm sure it is for fuel economy. If you can narrow the range of engine speeds needed you can improve efficiency in that range.

Re: FYI - Tire Pressure Warning on Chevy Truck

The factory recommended pressure is for the max load rating of the truck with the factory tires. I leave the front at 60 and air down the back to 55 if I won't be using the FW for a while.
