Replying to: obyone (Oct 10, 2005 6:17 pm) No this is not a shady tree person, however in Jamaica where I live even when you take your vehicle to a dealer and you get it back you end up having more problems than before you take it there, so I always try to get usefull information before taking my vehicle in.
#730 of 1497 Towing Capacity by cofiveo Oct 13, 2005 (8:26 am)
I have a Silverado 2500HD CC 4x4 short box and just bought a 32' fifth wheel with a 10500 lbs. GVWR. According to literature, truck's rated for 10100 lbs. Anyone with the same truck pulling anything this heavy or close to it that could advise on performance and potential damage?

Replying to: cofiveo (Oct 13, 2005 8:26 am) If you don't fully load your fifth wheel & truckyou may get away with this. Keep in mind that you have to include the weight of yourself, passengers, camping gear, propane tanks, potable water and full load of fuel into the calculations. I'm puzzled as to why you bought a unit rated for more than your truck can handle?? Did the salesman tell you "it will be OK" . You have exceeded what your truck can handle.   Ray T.
#732 of 1497 Towing Capacity by khbush Oct 14, 2005 (12:00 pm)
I think the capacity you are seeing is for travel trailers not fifth wheels. My 05 silverado 4x4 sb with a duramax /allison is rated to tow a fifth wheel weighing approx. 15700 pounds. What engine and trans do you have

Replying to: eagle11 (Oct 12, 2005 2:33 pm) Eagle1, I hope that someone posts you with the fix. I am having exactly the same problem that you are with my 2001 Silverado 1500.

Replying to: cofiveo (Oct 13, 2005 8:26 am) I own the same truck and tow a 30' fifth wheel.(approx 9000lbs GVWR). It tows it okay, however any kind of long grade you definitly have to watch temp. I drove 2500 miles this summer towing and got approx. 8 mpg.
#735 of 1497 Shock Question by sseverance Oct 15, 2005 (5:42 pm)
I have an 05 25hd cc, I'm putting on a plow, I'm trying to find a front shock that might handle the extra weight better. Plus I wouldn't mind the up grade. Replies to this message: jjtj (Oct 15, 2005 6:22 pm)
#736 of 1497 ABS Brake Problem by triott Oct 15, 2005 (6:07 pm)
I have a 2002 Silverado Z71 and the problem I'm have is a bit different than others I read on the board. This just started. When breaking (at a slow speed) my ABS chatters like I was on ice (doesn't happen all the time). If I release the brakes and reapply them it doesn't do it. Is this a defected module or what could it be? Thanks.   Triott Replies to this message: triott (Oct 17, 2005 3:43 pm)

Replying to: sseverance (Oct 15, 2005 5:42 pm) Bilstein or Rancho both make a good shock for your truck.. I'm adding some Rancho RSX5000 shocks to my truck next week, I'll let you know the result. Also consider a set of Timbrens. They're a solid rubber piece that replace the standard foam bump stops between the frame rail & lower control arm. It limits how much the front end will squat when you lift the plow or go over bumps with the plow hanging off the front end. Also wears your ball joints less. They work really well with the GM trucks since they sit kind of low to begin with. I use them on my 2500 & they work really well. The front end only drops maybe 1/2" or so with an 8' Western plow. I bought mine here:   Timbrens

there was a recall not to long ago for the abs system. I think they just announced it so far because I havent officially got my letter. I have read on other boards that people have had theirs repaired already.   Check with your dealer!
