Can I have year and make for the parts for the rear disk brake conversion?

who tuned your pcm and did you have to have a VSS?

Ya just bought a 26 and it measured 31 or 30.8 ft lol

That trailer is too large for your truck. I pull a 23ft Airstream with a 2022 F 150 Platinum. I will not go any longer or larger.

Hello good video, how about for towing a 4 person side by side, I think total weight trailer and my side by side is 5500lbs. What do you recommend?

Can't thank you enough for posting this. Been trying to figure out a poorboy disc set-up, I knew it had to be out there. Again, thank you Sir!

My concern is water getting in. I was just looking at this same vent today for my 84/78 squarebody.

This video would work great for a drinking game. Every time he says "You Know" take a drink lol.

Never towed with a half ton always owned a 1 ton but my 30 ft camper is light I can c a half ton truck pulling a camper but I get your point

A little tip, if you plan to go boondocking, look around for a KOA near where you want to go boon docking, most of them will let you pay a couple of dollar to fill your fresh water tank, and to dump after, so you don't have to haul a full load of water the whole way from home.

Half tons of today most use 4 ply tires and the truck is built like a car. I bought a brand new 1992 GMC Sierra K1500 with a stepside bed. The bed being part fiberglass is lighter than metal that adds to the payload capability. The tires came with 6 ply able to haul more weight. I added airload bags to the rear, but my 92 was designed to haul a lot more weight than normal half tons. For me to buy a new modern truck it would have to be a one ton or I would overload it, which will cost $80,000 to $120,000, to me not worth that.

Got a Chevy Silverado LTZ 1/2 ton chevy with the 6.2 and was thinking of doing a 5th wheel. This is why your video came up. Great vid by the way. Just want to put the weight over the axle and reduce sway. I'm not trying to go over 26 ft camper, if I can help it. Of course, the dealer said I could do it but I'm trying to decide for myself by doing some research. If anyone has any info much appreciated.

Took me a while to fully understand all "the numbers" but this video explains it perfectly 👍👍👍

Great video! Is the foam peel & stick also? So you used the butyl mat with foil first, and then put the foam on top of that?

I have a 2022 z71 I recently pulled a 29' probably with tonge length 33' across 2 states in ridiculous winds and some serious colorado mountains inclines/declines and I drove 71-75 miles an hour in some serious winds 68mph simply not because I couldn't go fast just because it felt so much safer

I put most of the heavy stuff that goes in the box of the truck as far to the cab as possible. Putting heavy weight up that far spreads some of the weight onto the front axle. Same with the rear seat area, heavy weight in that area loads the front axle more taking weight off the rear axle. As I stated in another post one needs to load up and tow to the nearest CAT Weight station. Find out what your axle weight really is, not just a guess...

I have a question please ? Can you pull a 3000 pound bass boat ,with a Silverado crew cab that has P serises Tires,or should you go with LT tires?

Ive got a 4l80e 4x4 is that a pain to get it to work?

Under normal driving conditions, how long do the universal joints usually last on the JL's?

First thing one SHOULD do after they are loaded for a camping trip is to go to a CAT WEIGHT SYSTEM usually at a truck stop and weight it... First: the total rig. Second: the rear tow vehicle rear axle only still connected to the rig. Third: the trailer, first axle on one scale and the second axle on the other scale. It will give you each axle weight. The difference between all the axle weights and the total rig's weight will be the front axle weight. Chances are you are way over weight!! Readjust the weigh inside the trailer to share the axle's weights according to manufacturer's recommendations. GUESSING your axle weight will be your first big mistake that could kill you and yours! Don't Guess!

It’s so much harder to drive a manual, so all you princess can comment lol

Now that’s wheel, monkey can drive automatic

Thankfully Jayco comes with Goodyear tires which are rated for towing and speed but I stay around 55 max. I have a 263 RBS about 7,500 max weight, well within my tundra tow limits, but my cargo capacity is like 1,300 pounds, which I totally do not understand why it’s so low. These TRD, extended cab, 4x4 have one of the lowest payload of any 1/2 ton. I have a camper shell, and a bedslide, so I’m at my max cargo. If I can’t get this thing to pull comfortably, my next step is try a TRAILER TOAD. $4,000 beats adding $20k-$30k to upgrade my truck. I love my 2026 tundra, only 53,000 miles, looks like new. The only affordable option next in line is a Nissan Titan XD, about 1,000 pounds more cargo. The trailer toad carries all the weight of the trailer. So far, I have some wiggle/waddle in bumpy roads, or back roads, it’s just a little unnerving. Thanks for your honest review, probably the most honest one I have ever seen, and I’ve seen plenty, trust me. I really wanted a 22 foot camper, tandem axle, no slide. That would have been much easy to tow, but we just couldn’t find the ideal setup with theater seats, because of my bad back. I called Equalizer and they suggested ease back on the hitch pressure so need a test run doing that. Thanks

hello are you still satisfied with your mercury 3.5 hp engine?

These trucks are expensive you shouldn't even have to do that but companies keep cutting corners.

Excellent video - thank you for sharing it. If it weren't for guys like you, I'd be struggling with parts of my build.

Can you kill a cow ?

I am set up to boondock. Sewer placement was an important factor. Also useable trailer payload. I would not have choosen that trailer based on sewer arrangement. Good video.

In the past, I towed 11,000 lbs with a 1999 Suburban. It was ordered with a factory tow package. I tuned the brake controller to react the way I wanted it to. I towed in 3 rd gear with a 4 speed set up. 4 th gear was overdrive. I never had any issues towing and felt plenty confident towing with that 1/2 ton truck. I have been towing and driving all manner of vehicles since the 70's. Weight and wheelbase have a lot to do with stability towing and the set up of the correct hitch. Most of the issues I see are with the set up of the trailer to the tow vehicle. Keep the tongue weight to between 12 to 17 % of the total trailer weight, and you will be happy running down the highway or interstate. Drive for weather and traffic conditions and keep your eyes on the road and off of the phone or entertainment center ob the dash and all of us will be safer.

Bro, where did your ls rebuild videos go ? I used them years ago to build 2 engines. Now about to do another and cant find them 😒

Where did u get the lines.

I tow a 29 foot travel trailer with ram 1500 5.7l engine. I don't go above 55, 60 ever. If speed limit is 65 then I'm doing 60.

Hi....08 Tahoe LT owner here.....Do not tow with an 08 Tahoe LT with the 5.3L.....It is expensive and horrifying. Thank you and have a nice day.

Nice. 18:49 was the best part of the video. Young buck playing with his cars while dad is 10 feet away playing with cars!

Good tips

I would like to add a tip. Don't do this in the cold. This type of plastic is a lot more brittle in the cold. Don't ask me how I know. 😅

You have almost 500lbs more payload than my PowerWagon. No surprise the PW isn’t a towing truck. I’ve got a Forest River Grey Wolf 18RRBL, small little toy hauler. It’s perfect for me and my daughter, our quads, and a good match for the truck’s ratings. Lots of people don’t care about the numbers and tow whatever they want. It’s scary. I’m out to enjoy myself and stay alive. Great vid, appreciate the honesty and matter of fact presentation.

more video outside not inside

Cool now i can try this thanks for your video

I love it! simple is the BEST way!

Half ton trucks can pull 10-12k lbs no problem. You have to get the V8 with the 3:92 gear and a weight distribution hitch.The 4x4 feature actually reduces towing capacity. Notice none of these KZfaqrs that are against pulling with a half ton ever mention gear ratio. It's one of the most important features. Another good feature to have is a transmission temp gauge and and trans cooler Run synthetic oil, it doesn't get thinner as temperature go up. Wind is not an issue

How far was your nice little campsite from Pine Valley ? Beautiful country there, very nice. Kenny C Oregon 🤠🤠

What lift and transfercase are you running? You would the front drive shaft be in the way on a stock suspension height?

Hey man I just picked up a car trailer and when I’m on uneven terrain while hauling my jeep the tire have some camber? Is that normal?

how much taller do you think yours is compared to a sahara with the same lift since the rubicons are a little bit taller from the get go. I already put some rubicon 392 take off wheels and want to temporarily spacer lift it but i don't want it to look to chickeny.

as long u ike t all that matters

You might have been okay just buying another small one exactly like your old one and taking advantage of your remaining usable space on the driver's side..... The blocked section and the section sticking out underneath, and the hose sticking out "down there", makes me nervous.

Great vidio and damb good tunes,thank you sir and have a blessed day América

What did you do for an Ebrake. Must have for my state inspection

How can I contact you I have a 1984 Chevy k20 with a TH400 transmission and I want to ls swap it and I want to ask you a couple questions I’m in the Las Vegas area to so please let me know how I can contact you
