These guys make nice stuff...

NeapCo, Spicer, and Precision are good name joints...and in some of those, "heavy duty" simply means "greaseable"...

If you find a Napa, they re-box Precisions if I remember right...

Umm, 0w30, 5w30, 10w30...they are all a 30 weight at operating temperatures. I would expect a 0w30 to work in place of a 5w30...

I have owned several 2500s, mostly Dodge and now this Silverado.

I always dump the factory fill early, and in the last two (the last Dodge and this Silverado) I used Mobil 1 75w90. I noted in...

DRLs are for the people that don't know how to use a headlight switch...so they are safer, for those people. Pre-06, you may be able to have the dealer turn them on/off depending on your tastes...I...

The platform is big enough for a quad, rated at 800#s. The "fence" around that platform comes off and becomes the ramps for loading.

I figured for coolers, extra stuff, firewood, bicycles,...

No problems on the standard old mechanical diesel turbo...but the newer variable geometry turbos and the electronically controlled variants have some problems time to time. I had 200k and 275k on my...

I've noted this...

The 2012 runs fine on 87 in the summer, except it seems to surge at really low RPM (like just before the trans downshifts). Running 89 in the summer eliminates the low RPM...

...

Decided the old 5vr was going to be too much trouble to make it work with this new truck...the trailer is just too short, and I've done all that can be done (short of major mods) to make it ride...

Anyone have the measurement from the center of the hub to the top of the fenderwell for a NNBS (2012) 2500HD? I gave the torsion bar bolts three full turns and the lower control arm is still nicely...

Out of my Dodge, no longer need it because the Silverado has the integrated one and it seems to work well.

It was one step below the Prodigy (no digital display), right around ten years old; but...

Yesterday I installed a second battery...

Today I installed mini leds in the panel under the tailgate, installed a tailgate lock, installed some halogen backup lights on the backrack, installed my...

My application doesn't need an isolator, the truck will be running whenever the winch would be running. I don't sit with the ignition off for very long anyway.

Well, the dealer "pieced" a dual battery setup together; complete with a battery tray...which immediately made me wonder if they ever did this before. Basically they were going to install the pieces...

If the dealer installs it and it burns something up...its on them, not me. For something like this, a few bucks in savings isn't worth the risk of the warranty.

These 2012s have the second battery tray (like previous years) and what not...I believe there is a build code for dual batteries in the 6.0L also (probably another option for the snow plow package?),...

I installed a warn 12k winch a while back, add to the fact I've always wanted the dual batteries; decided to call about it. The dealer I bought the truck from is getting me a price. I figured if I...

The differences in mileage is likely from one or more factors...the tires and the fact that these newer engines are electronically controlled.

Just swapping tires on my old truck would net me...

At one point there was a manufacturer that made an aftermarket filter that attached to the intake grill on the windshield cowling...acted like a prefilter. Its been a long time since I even saw them...

After owning a 2012, 2500HD with 3.73s; if I had it to do over again or was towing regularly, I would get the 4.10s...3.73s wouldn't even be a consideration now. 3.73s are fine for the occasional...

Depends on the car...

My 97 OBW is always engaged, but senses a turn and uncouples the rear drive line for that turn to prevent scrub; but my 09 Forester is not engaged unless it senses wheel slip...

Looks like he already did...

If it was a 4wd 2500HD, then I would suspect frame beaming; but this is an oddity in a 2wd 1500...

If you add a load of say 500#s to it, does it stop? What tires...

In my experience, testing will not always find a shorted battery.
