This truck was built to tow. I say use it. I love it.

Love that truck! Need to paint the trailer white and get some polished wheels to match the truck .. 😎

I can see a trailer refresh video coming very soon. Now it looks like a turd behind this freshly painted dually! lol

Bro, that’s a sick setup! Keep the content coming, it’s great motivation!

Great video! I can say from experience that this truck rides incredibly smooth for a static drop on machined 22s with short tires and helper bags. Awesome truck Josh!

Thanks John! Great meeting you this weekend.

Looks good man!! 👍…I’ve always wanted to build a square body crew cab for a tow rig…I also have a ‘05 LLy I bought it new, it would be a hard one to replace, but a square crew with a 12v Cummins is definitely on my build list! Keep up the content man, 👍👍

Got the same bodystyle truck mine with a 6/8 drop but I did my air different I'm cummins swapped and got on board engine driven air compressor on a leveling valve off big trucks. So when I load it down it will always keep ride hight the same. It's great with my 5thwheel trailer total weight 18k loves to pull the big block couldn't keep up.

@ronaldsteveson76 11 ай бұрын

Definitely a super cool tow rig and of course the ol'big block doesn't pull like a diesel but they do alright. What kind of rpm was you turning at 75? I wonder if I could put some helpers on my 65 C-10? No compressor just air up when needed. New subscriber

@yeahbuddygarage 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! I'm turning around 2,800 at 75 mph. I believe they do have a kit for your 65. It makes a big difference when towing or carrying a heavy load in the bed!

@78gmc_stepside 11 ай бұрын

Once you get the power bumped up I think it will feel better besides the gas bill lol. I need to get the helper bags for the suburban so I can tow with it once I do a ls swap and have some power to tow lol

Great setup - and informational (to me) as I would like to get a 3500 OBS dually. With air lift setup - wondering if the OBS could pull a 22 or 24’ enclosed w/a muscle car inside? Have to check tow ratings. 😊🤘

@yeahbuddygarage 8 ай бұрын

For sure!! The original owner of my truck used it with that exact setup. That 454 just won’t get you there quick. Lol.

@gearheadindustriesmedia6890 5 ай бұрын

Tomuch tow ball weight will slow the truck up.. because it’s carrying weight not pulling it.. between 200/300 kg tow ball weight . Love the Chanel.. new subbi 🇦🇺

@yeahbuddygarage 5 ай бұрын

I'd like to get a hitch with a tongue weight scale. I've always loaded by eye but sometimes I have to load with the front heavy because most of my vehicles are lowered and the doors will hit the trailer fenders.

@gearheadindustriesmedia6890 5 ай бұрын

Totally understand, and great idea, at least youl know where it’s at.. be better on rear low profile tyres aswell with less weight.. it’s a big thing here in Australia.. the cops and road authorities hammer over loaded vehicles, trailer gross and combination gross.. 100% we aren’t climbing out of windows lol.. The dually a beast bro.. it will tow so good and be a lot better on fuel with set up right

I have a crew cab squarebody with a 454, heads, cam, intake, headers, 750 carb, headers, 4” exhaust. Built TH400 3 speed tows 10k lbs really good, does 90 on the HWy like nothing….only downside is that towing or empty it gets 7MPG…so I just bought a 12V Cummins and a 6 speed Allison for it.

@yeahbuddygarage 10 ай бұрын

Duuuude that 12v with a 6 speed is where it’s at! What heads and cam did you go with for the 454?

@roberthilburn7881 5 ай бұрын

Cool ! Yes definitely !!

@t.l.robinson2162 13 күн бұрын

The dually was meant to tow. I would recommend a PPE transmission cooler.

@richardharvey8939 11 ай бұрын

Cool just upgrade the old 454 with cam heads etc or put in a take out 8.1. With mild upgrades. Big blocks may be thirsty but tow great at reasonable speeds and cheaper to maintain than a diesel.

@chrishigh5206 11 ай бұрын

Where did you get the steering wheel? I’m sure it’s on one of the videos I’ve watched but missed it! I’ve got a 90 454ss. Gotta have one. Love your videos!

I have a 95 k3500 with the 454. I get 5-6 mpg when towing, my 07 dodge Cummins gets 11-12 mpg when towing and pulls alot better. Once I got the Cummins, I never wanted to tow with the 454 again. It's so gutless lol

@yeahbuddygarage 11 ай бұрын

lol man you're right that 'ol 454 is a boat anchor! I'm looking at some heads, cam and EFI setup to triple the power output. I also estimated about 6mpg towing.

@Bobthebuilder.69 11 ай бұрын

@@yeahbuddygarage if you can find a later model 454 (1996+Vortec 7400), they have better flowing heads, roller cam and decent EFI. I found a used 160k mile 1997 454 at a local pull a part for $200, I converted it to carb and put a Edelbrock intake and long tube headers on it. I might have $1000 in the complete setup...carb to oil pan. These later model 454s are also rated around 300hp compared to 230hp.

@@yeahbuddygarage thanks for the reply Buddy. Would be awesome to see a detailed video, I’ve only found 1 really good video of it on KZfaq. It was done on a 4x4 style and mine is also 4x4 K3500 but lowered similar to yours. (Wish I had a C3500 but all these trucks are had to get down here in Australia). He used 4x4 GMT800 spindles and brakes but I’ve also led to believe that the new GMT900 brakes fit onto the GMT800 spindles. Do you know if this is correct? Thanks again 👍👍👍
