    Trailer tires: known brand or higher load rating?

    @Elkins45 , what is weight of loaded trailer w/ boat and how far out do you drive to take the boat out? Upgrading to 14" wheels might be a pita regarding up front investment, but if you plan on keeping boat for awhile, it might be worth while. Consider keeping an eye on FB marketplace...

    Trailer tires: known brand or higher load rating?

    Check out Goodyear Endurance trailer tires. They're made in the USA. I upgraded our travel trailer tires to these w/ load D rating. I recommend them to anyone with cargo/boat trailers, travel trailers, etc. I recommend staying away from unknown brand of tires and ones made in China.

    I'm installing new wheel bearings in our 2015 travel trailer with 3500# Lippert axles. Probably has 7000-8000k total miles on it. Original grease looked to be typical grey grease. I cleaned all the old grease out and used Valvoline High Temp Multi-Vehicle Red Grease to repack the bearings and...

    AGM Battery recommendation for 2017 Silverado 5.3

    Dang battery in the Silverado died again, but it was my fault. Jump started it and it's fine now. Truck was hitched up to our travel trailer overnight and forgot to pull the wiring harness. Trailer has a dead battery, so it was pulling parasitic power from the truck (trailer doesn't have a...

    AGM Battery recommendation for 2017 Silverado 5.3

    @adams355, I have not seen the FullRiver brand of batteries down in my area in South Texas, but it might be available in other parts of the States. You mentioned you have a 4.0 6-cyl. Would that be in a HiLux? Your market has a lot of excellent vehicles that are not sold here in the US...

    AGM Battery recommendation for 2017 Silverado 5.3

    In the end, I did not replace the battery.... I had my battery checked again, and both places said their diagnostic checker advised the battery and alternator were both good. During the freeze I had to jump start the truck on 3 separate occasions when temps were between 20-30f. One time is...

    AGM Battery recommendation for 2017 Silverado 5.3

    I took the truck over to Auto Zone to have the battery tested. They advised the battery and alternator tested good, but their diagnostic tool showed the battery needed to be charged. Sunday I'll take it over to AAP and have them double check the battery's condition. I'll advise on what AAP...

    @The Critic , thanks for the tip about the hydraulic tensioner!! Ha, you joined this forum only 5 months before I did. Dang, it's been a long time ago it seems! I had always planned on performing the timing chain service myself. I will probably need to move up it's service and tackle it...

    AGM Battery recommendation for 2017 Silverado 5.3

    I forgot to mention: SuperStart Platinum AGM at O'Reilly's @slacktide_bitog , yes there are some NAPA's where I live. Problem is they are not as common compared to Walmart, AutoZone, AAP, etc. I would prefer to get a battery from a large chain, since I use this truck to pull our family's...

    2013 Honda Pilot 54k miles: Clean or replace PCV valve?

    @Nukeman7 , yes it is the same engine with the dumb VCM. I'll probably disable the VCM after the HondaCare service contract ends later this year. Does the muzzler leave a trace on the computer?
