    6.2 swap thread

    I have the 6.2 in an Escalade. It runs hot when it's working hard. There is a dual-fan setup out there.. did you do that? How about an oil cooler? Sounds like you already did the radiator swap.. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Yukon XL regear

    Max trailering w/a 5.3 in a 2wd XL is 8300 4wd and it drops to 8000 (as the OP indicated). If he gets in an accident pulling over what the vehicle was intended for, he could be seriously liable. I would not recommend or encourage towing over what the vehicle says (manufacturer's spec). I...

    Yukon XL regear

    The Yukon 2500 is also on a 2500 frame with 3/4 ton axles. You're comparing apples and oranges. The OP is looking to push the tow limits of his truck past what it was designed for. Thinking a simple re-gear will get him to the tow limits of a pickup truck. There is a whole lot more that goes...

    Yukon XL regear

    Note to the OP.. Don't rely on the RV dealer.. most of them don't have a clue and will sell you way too much trailer. Look for something under 6k.. about 75% of max haul capacity. Don't forget you'll have luggage, supplies, and humans to carry as well. Things like batteries, propane tanks...

    Yukon XL regear

    Changing the gear ratio doesn't change towing capacity. The Sierra is a truck with a lower curb weight and there is a whole lot more than gear ratios that go into determining tow capacity. If you're going to be pulling anywhere over 6k, I'd skip the Yukon and go for a 3/4 ton crew cab or...

    2020 Tahoe..AFM while Towing

    -my '10 didn't. AFM is a bad deal. Disable it before you suffer the same fate as others. At the end of the day, it's your $10k. I realize this is a thread for '15-'20 trucks.. slightly different engine. However, GM has suffered these issues FOR YEARS. Do you really think they resolved it...

    2020 Tahoe..AFM while Towing

    AFM disabler or better yet get a tuner that has that as a feature. I have a Diablo Sport inTune 3 and it does that.. it's a bit more than just a disabler but I don't have to leave it plugged in and I can load tunes that really wakes the truck up. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Do what you want or call the manufacturer. It's $1200 to get a new set of shocks on the rear.. that's not covered under your warranty. If you take the "I'll call them route" make sure you're clear that you have an active system and not passive. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Great. Usually, they're discussing regular trailers and what they've deemed as the "average weight and size". If you don't follow what I've made the castle for, get ready to replace some shocks as they're about $5-600 each at the Stealership. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk

    Towing Travel Trailer

    According to the HITCH MANUFACTURER you should follow the HITCH MANUFACTURERS install guide. Failure to do so will result in an improperly configured hitch putting undue stress on the vehicle. The vehicle manufacturers instructions are general in nature and in no way can accommodate for what...

    Towing Travel Trailer

    You can either pull the relay or the fuse (or both). You just want to ensure that it doesn't turn on (inflate) when adjusting the hitch. After you have it dialed in, then you can reconnect the system. The goal is to only have the leveling system adjust to make the vehicle level. Not to support...

    Towing Travel Trailer

    Best piece of advice I can give is buy yourself an OBD2 reader and the Torque Pro app. Install the guages to keep an eye on the engine temps and the trans temp. If it's anything like my rig, you'll be shocked at some of the temps you'll see that don't show up on those idiot guages installed in...

    If you'd never owned a previous year model.you won't know this but in all actuality they change very little from year to year. Sent from my Pixel 3 XL using Tapatalk
