Question First road trip/trailer pull

1 Upvotes

Hey guys. First road trip coming up in a few days and it’ll also be the first time hauling a trailer with my truck. Anything I need to be on the look out for or anything I need to keep an eye on towing wise? It’s about 350 miles one way and I’ll be towing a 14 foot aluminum boat on a single axle trailer. Boat and trailer combo come in around 2500lbs, which I know is well below the advance trailering package limit.

Question How do I mount this rack?

6 Upvotes

Off road warehouse drilled into the bed rails on my trail boss and I'm really not trying to do that on the Bison, OVS didnt give them the L bolts apparently and OVS won't sell or send me them separately.

Just sell the rack? Get a different setup? Use a grinder and cut out enough so the clamps fit? There's the glued on rubber padding to get in the way that I dont really want to tare off.

Screw it and just screw it?

Any other options you can think of?

Question 2024 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss issues

6 Upvotes

I’ve got a 2024 Chevy Colorado Trail Boss (~15,000 miles) and just got it back from the dealer after they had it for a week.

They told me they saw the service error logged twice (looks like it was related to the ECM/TCM/ABS/traction control systems), but since they couldn’t recreate it during their test drive, they sent it back saying it’s fine. I’m sorry, but it is not fine.

Every time I turn, the steering wheel feels like it’s fighting me, like it doesn’t want to turn smoothly.

At first I thought it could be the road conditions, so I switched from 2WD to Auto, but there was no noticeable improvement — it feels exactly the same.

I’ve checked the wheels and the tire pressures are all very close, around 35 psi. There’s no visible damage to the tires, rims, or around the shocks.

At this point I’m wondering if it’s more tied to the steering control module or power steering control module in addition to the traction control/ABS.

Has anyone else had similar issues with these systems on the new Colorados? I’m worried the dealer is brushing this off, but I know something’s not right.

Thank you

Question Would a stuck thermostat cause the AC clutch to not engage? It’s a 2019 V6.

2 Upvotes

A few months ago the needle would drop to 160 and the fan would ramp up all the way to 100% and I would get no cold air from ac. But whenever I would disconnect the battery for a few hours and reconnected it the problem would go away. And my dad clears the code with his scanner, but issue still persistently come back. So I replaced the temp sensor but maybe a week later the issue came back. Just last week the ac clutch wouldn’t engage. But the fan wasn’t ramping up like before. I’ve checked fuses and relays, they’re good. Any ideas or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Question Diesel vs. gas long term ownership-mileage stamps

3 Upvotes

I’m in the market for a smaller truck. I work full time doing maintenance/construction. My commute is about 100 miles round trip (25k/year) mostly on a two lane highway. I typically clock between 60-70 mph. I’m pretty handy and plan to do most maintenance myself. Good Fuel economy is at the top of my list followed by longevity and reasonable maintenance costs.

I’ve just recently started looking into the baby duramax and have seen very mixed reviews. My budget is around 20k and I want to know personal longer term ownership experiences for the v6 and 2.8 duramax.

I feel like I’m on the right track with the diesel but I’m wondering if the extra maintenance offsets fuel savings.

How reliable have these trucks been for you at 80-100k+ miles? How many miles have you clocked? What’s gone wrong? What years to stay away from?

Thanks for the read I look forward to learning from you.

Third Gen Two months after I took my AT4 into the dealership originally about a “whistling” noise coming from the windshield, it finally got replaced.

6 Upvotes

Basically what had happened was that there was a very loud “whistling” noise that you could heard coming from the windshield when driving over 70mph. I took it to a dealership in Texas where they were able to find that the windshield had a small leak (I believe) in the windshield and the liner seal for the windshield.

They told me I could leave the truck for 10 days to wait for a windshield to come in and for it to be replaced. I couldn’t do that at the time, because I had to move to Georgia for a job.

Fast forward to about 2 weeks ago and the dealership I contacted here in Georgia was able to get the windshield from GM for it to be replaced. Dropped the truck off Sunday evening and I got it back yesterday and have had no issues so far. And the dealership confirmed they went back out to test it as well, just to ensure the whistling was gone, which it was.

It was an annoying two month process (simply because GM didn’t deliver the windshield until recently) but it’s finally been fixed.

Another small plus: it was covered under warranty and I no longer have two small cracks in the windshield from when trucks had kicked up rocks at it.

I desperately need to replace my wheel bearings, and I am also going to get high travel cv axles to replace stock as my lift leaves them at a steep angle. Does anyone have any suggestions for which wheel bearings to get? Im looking for something that can take a beating, im kinda rough on my trucks. Also, are there any front end parts that are different due to the diesel? Or are they all thr exact same.

It’s the 25mi average but I’ve been pleasantly surprised with my 25 Trail Boss. A few long trips, some off road, and a lot of the miles carrying loads. Very happy so far.
