    Long Haul with boat

    Always admired Howard. A great man. I am envious. Would have loved to meet him. Even better would have been a fast ride, with him. My Velocity was left in the good hands of Saris Racing. Padraig

    Long Haul with boat

    The boat is a 29 foot Velocity VR 1. A go fast style. It sits fairly high has a small cabin. You can google it and get an idea. I would guess that it has less wind resistance then a boxy travel trailer. The 22 mpg is the combined mpg. I hauled the boat to Lake George and returned empty. Without...

    Long Haul with boat

    Thanks everyone. Just got back. Trip was about 850 miles. With mostly 4 lane roads. Much of it hilly. Drove, mostly on cruise at 68 while towing boat. Coming home, dead head at 73 mph. DEF was no problem, used only 1 bar. LOL I guess I worried needlessly. Very pleased with this Duramax! Hauling...

    Long Haul with boat

    Have hauled my 6,000 # boat before but this time it will be to Bolton Landing NY, about a 420 mile haul. I will be leaving it there for a engine rebuild and a few more added horses . I have filled up the DEF and have a spare 2.5 gallon container packed. I have read that hauling a load increases...

    The Most Reliable Duramax Diesel Engines ...

    I have approximately 18,000 miles on my Suburban with the Duramax. I love this engine. Hauls my 6,000# boat with no problem and is also great on a road trip. I have a heavy foot but still gets 27+ mpg. If I drive the speed lit I get 29/30 mpg. As far as passing... usually no problem although...

    Dealer oil change $$$

    Just changed my oil and filter. Oil was somewhere around $29 per 5 Qts, Mobil 1 and $11 for Filter. Bought 2 , 5 qt containers. Took about 20 minutes of my labor and I know it was done right! Padraig

    Towing stability

    I have had one for a couple of years. No problems, works well. However after a while the aluminum leaves a black deposit on your hands after installing or removing. Padraig

    3.0L Duramax Towing?

    Cleaning instruments panel and I infotainment screen

    Quick question, what does everyone use to clean the instrument panel and infotainment screen. I am assuming it is some sort of plastic and don't want to screw it up. Thanks Padraig

    Benefits of the diesel?

    Hauled my boat to the Buffalo NY area last Friday. About 90 miles, some on country two lane with hills, some on a four lane and some in city. The boat is approximately 6,000 #. With my Duramax Suburban I got 18.1 mpg. Moat of the time I was running a good 5 to 8 mph over the limit. With my old...

    Maintenance Log app

    Is anyone using a maintenance log app? Looking for one I can track work done by dealer, garage or by me. Also like ability to take pics of invoices, receipts etc. Free app preferred but low fee would be OK too. Padraig

    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
