    Towing stability

    You may want to consider replacing the surge brakes with electric over hydraulic. Much better braking and control and you then could use the sway bar. I towed a slightly heavier boat with my 2013 Yukon XL with zero problems, but XL has a longer wheelbase. Padraig

    Brake Pad Monitor

    I have a performnce boat with through hull exhaust, The stainless tips get dull. After cleaning with soap and water I apply vinegar, let set, then wipe them down. Come out clean and shiny. Might be worth a try. Padraig

    Front license plate bracket

    I purchase my 2023 Suburban in Pennsylvania but live in NY where a front plate is required. I see the bracket is available through GM but wonder if anyone has used anything better or different. It appears that holes will have to be drilled. Also wondering if anyone has used two-sided tape or...

    Diesel Cap

    Received my Diesel, labeled, fuel cap. It fit well, however the fuel door and liner is plastic and the removed cap would not adhere. So, using double side tape I fastened a washer on the inside of the door. Works great, now.

    6.2 gas vs. 3.0 Duramax, which one to buy?

My previous Suburban was a 5.3 and there is no comparison. Average mpg is 26 to 27.5 but have seen as high as 31. Hauling a 6,000 boat and trailer on a 4...

    Hard wire radar detector.

    Finally got around to hard wiring my Radar Detector. As others have said, I needed to trim down the plastic on the fuse tap to get it to fit. Used number F26 fuse location. After that it was pretty straight forward. Removed the trim on the passenger side pillar and ran wires up and pushed them...

    Onstar

    Do many of you actually renew Onstar? If I recall, it is almost $50 a month for the top plan. I have a phone and great Garmin GPS. I doubt I will renew when my "free" trial expires. Padraig

    Hard wire radar detector.

    Oh my...how boring. However since the federal highway system was designed for a higher speed then 65mph...I guess I will drive faster and hope you trigger the radar gun for me. I don't suppose you have a tip om my original question, or do you just flap your gums and try to sound holy? Why...
