Towing with the 2015 and up
Well the Transmission cooler works frigging amazing. Temps went from 240* to never going above 195 on steep grades. My brakes/wheel hubs on the other hand did not like one of the hills we went down and my right front wheel is making a grinding noise when i turn to the left now. So I have to get...- Fink117

Towing with the 2015 and up
2007 Suburban with 171k miles. I have added Airlift 1000 airbags to the rear and I'm in the process of installing a Trucool 40k transmission cooler. The "does ok" is I wish I had gotten a 3/4 ton or 1 ton truck if I knew i was going to be towing. I got the Suburban because I wanted a Rolling...- Fink117

2007 Suburban Towing
Have a 2007 Suburban 170k miles and I'm towing a 29ft Travel trailer. My tranny has been hitting 230*. I'm wondering if upgrading to a deeper fined pan https://www.yourcovers.com/transpan_9427.php and changing the fluid and filter would help get the temps down. Also I don't think I have a tranny...- Fink117

Fuel smell outside vehicle
Crawl under the truck where the fuel tank is to see if its wet on the side of the tank frame rail side. My Fuel pump rotted away and the only way I found it was by shoving my cellphone up the side of the tank and took a video of the dripping. 2007 suburban- Fink117

Last year I did about 200 miles with it because we got it late season. Its got a really good Husky weight distribution hitch so there is not much sway. I am going to...- Fink117

Towing with the 2015 and up
I'll only be towing a few times during summers, so say towing less than 10% of the time. Also location wise would be the northeast, Maine, NH, maybe down to PA so very little mountain action. Cant really do long hauls with my back. I would love to have a diesel but I like doing my own...- Fink117
