There is tongue weight, total payload (includes driver, passengers, fuel, even the hitch) plus tongue weight from the trailer. Then GAWR front, GAWR rear, GVWR (truck total) and GCVWR (truck plus trailer). Need to be square on all of those, a 6600 pound trailer might be right depending on lots...

I suggest about 500 miles of light driving (no trailer, avoid full throttle at least at first) to give the new diff a fair chance of good break-in. No reason it should not last "forever" after that.

I once had a rear coolant line wear through on my 2001 GMC Yukon XL, This is for the front and rear climate control system. My KL was out of warranty, and this was listed as a non-wearing part... But it did wear through. The dealership did open a customer claim, GMC did ojfer to split the cost...

Oh, come on. The V6 has more power than most engines in high-performance muscle cars from back in the day. If it suits the OP, nothing wrong with it. My dad was very happy with his '67 Chevy 1/2 ton with a straight six and 3 on the tree. Towed his bass boat just fine. The question brought up...

It is exactly in line with my observation on various forums that *cares will try to get discussion out of the public eye and into private messaging.

It is a lot of money for little gain (cost per horsepower). First you need to unlock the PCM, buy the tuner and any needed credits, buy a tune or pay for a custom tune (custom is usually better result). Need to pick someone who knows Hemi engines, it is not a Chevy. Unlocking the PCM voids your...

Tow/haul will help with any gear hunting but not with gear selection. You might get some drivability improvement with AlfaOBD to adjust tire size, at least to get the speedometer correct. The tire size change is about 5%. Your speedometer is reading 5% low, and the same amount of torque is...

While true, the V6 also cost less to buy in the first place. As far as mods and resale, those are basically worth little to nothing no matter what engine is under the hood. Your main point as to an owner doing what they want is therefore spot on and correct.

What was your stock tire size?

Always fun to spend someone else's money. Side steps sound like a good idea, especially with a lift. As to fuel economy, what tire size do you have now (I see two sizes listed in your earlier posts). And what did you have before? Are you going by dashboard mileage or hand-calculated? Did you...

2nd the request for what you used.

My eyeball says the ECO diesel can do it, subject to verifying tongue weight is in spec for the truck. No way would I attempt it with the Jeep. Definitely will need permits and such for that width and length (subject to details in your state). Driver may need a CDL or at least non-commercial...

Yes, warranty, dealership. Hope they sort it quick for you.

My inconsistency continues. No problems with music halting or pausing, but when switching from FM radio to iPhone (iTunes), I lost CarPlay for a short bit. Then it was back... And the maps still knew where I was and the route to destination was still there. And then no more problems. And...

I had some problems connecting with 26.1, which after some retrying and pushing buttons seemed to heal itself. Did not do any reboots or resets. Also have had some problems switching from wireless to plugging in the USB cable. Not consistent enough to clearly state the problem or how to recover...
