    Air bags will make your truck look level but it doesn’t add the weight back to the front axle.

    Only a weight distributing hitch will add weight back to front axle and add weight to the trailer axels and reduce weight from rear axle.

    Our Yukon has air shocks coupled with the max tow package springs. It helps a lot to keep everything level and load secure. But as far as weight distribution, there is none. We still had a pin weight of ~600 plus gear overtop the rear axle. Tow rating is ~8,000lbs and hitch is rated for 1K pin and 10K pull.

    I bought a Curt Rebellion cushioned hitch for the trip and future towing needs I can swap between wife's rig and my truck. It worked great over bumps/dividers in the highway, it also reduced banging when going up and down the mountain roads. It is rated at 10K with 2" and 15K with 2-5/16". I got the turnover style so I have both for each trailer setup.

    Ha ha. Norris can be an adventure for sure. I always try to map out my route and ask as many questions as I can regarding to route to the boat ramp and the house. I have found myself in precarious situations more than once down there. Once I had my ‘04 Chevy 5.3 floored in 1st gear and didn’t think I was going to make it up a hill to the house. Then the next day I found a much easier route around that road. . Roads can suck, but the lake is great. Back in the 90’s and early 2000’s it was way less crowded though. The north side is garbage on the weekend for any water sports after 10am.

    Got my new shoes put on the other day. Blacked out the emblems on the grill and tailgate and tinted the yellow side markers.

    Thanks Larry! That new SL in the demo video sure would look sweet behind it but I'm out at the prices that are going on in this boat market.

    Well after thinking my 1500 was plenty it’s dead.
    2018 gmc Denali 1500 6.2l V8 8 speed.
    2 injectors failing at 38k miles
    Not covered under my bumper to bumper warranty
    The parts are unavailable and they couldn’t put an exact time frame on how long it would take to get them until they blew the truck apart

    Already sold the truck as is though thank gosh for this crazy market

    Absolutely should be covered by powertrain warranty. Factory injectors are like $60 each and available

    Yeah how the hell can they deny warranty for bad injectors after only 38k miles??? Did they give you an explanation?
