Re: looking to get a different tow vehicle (Jiggernaut)
Yeah, I did. The are the same height as what came on the truck but they are 2 inches wider. I know that didn't help but it was bad to begin with. I think my problem really is some of my friends have bought GMC's and I was an idiot and drove one and man they are awesome.

What gears does it have in it?

Josh,
If you have tried everything in regards to working w/the dealer to see if there's something wrong with why it's burning so much gas and you can't get it resolved, you might just wanna dump it. The tires aren't that much different than what it came with and w/373 gears you shouldn't be getting that bad of mileage. Something just isn't right. I have the gas suckingest pig known to mankind in a V10 Dodge and I can pull my boat w/2000 lb slide in camper and get 7. I know the Dodges suck it down, but that's excessive for a V8. It will at some point really limit you in how far you wanna travel to fish, esp. if gas stays high, which I think it will.

Re: looking to get a different tow vehicle (Jiggernaut)
I am looking, I would like to find a diesel for a reasonable price. $$$. I would like to find a single cab long bed and by a cheap car to drive back n forth from work. I hate vehicle payments (necessary evil sometimes). My wife tells me I have my priorities in the wrong place cause she thinks I should sell my boat, buy a cheaper one and have a nicer truck. I am the opposite. I would rather drive a older truck and have a newer boat. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif Anybody have any leads on a single long bed diesel 4x4?
Re: looking to get a different tow vehicle (Tagg007)
I'll check the local dealerships around here. Looking for a patriclular brand?
I am the same way about a nice boat. I am going to keep my 03' Chevy as long as she is still ticking. Hoping to get a boat around Jan/Feb time. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/praying.gif
Re: looking to get a different tow vehicle (Tagg007)
The ford is what Dennis Hamel just bought.
I have a 2004 Z71, 4 x 4, Extended Cab with 48000 miles, with camper shell, that I am the orginal owner. Tows great, v8 gas engine I would say around 14 towing and 16 not on the hwy. I just bought 4 brand new tires and truck runs great. I am looking at a 2007 or 2008 Chevy Duramax 2500HD in the next few months.
Let me know if interested.

same truck I have. sounds like
Re: looking to get a different tow vehicle (dukhntr)
Either a GMC or a Dodge. Preferably a GMC but will take another Dodge for the right price. I appreciate your help.
Re: looking to get a different tow vehicle (Tagg007)
isn't GMC and Chevy the same manufacturer? When I looked at the GMC vs the Chevy, before I bought the Chevy, they looked the same, some minor differences, but the GMC was 10% higher price.
I think I might learn something from this exchange of ideas.
Re: looking to get a different tow vehicle (Kakbass)
They are but I like the look of the GMC's, the grills are different and I think the look of the front ends are a little different too. Either one, I think you will like them both especially with that Duramax and Allison tranny. GMC with a Banks exhaust and programmer is a bad @$$ pullin machine.
