    LBZ met a hill it couldnt climb today.

    If I am understanding your original post correctly, your truck went into limp mode because the transmission slipped due to the load pulling up the hill. Sounds to me like you need to have the transmission rebuilt and beefed up while you are at it. there are several reputable Allison techs that...

    Installing Dual Batteries in a 2002 Silverado 2500HD with 6.0L Gas Engine

    Here is the Engine Electrical schematic diagram I got from my Service Manual. It sure looks to me like I'm missing a 2nd positive cable in order for this to work. If someone can point me to pictures showing how these cables need to be routed it would really be helpful. Any help is greatly...

    Installing Dual Batteries in a 2002 Silverado 2500HD with 6.0L Gas Engine

    I need to install an Auxiliary battery in our Snow Plow truck. It is a 2002 Silverado 2500HD with 6.0L gas engine. The guy that owned the truck before us had cobbled a second battery on the RH side but it is really a jury rigged install that did not work at all, so I decided to re-do the...

    How do you pay for online purchases?

    I always use a credit card (mainly Mastercard and some times Visa), even for fuel purchases. If it is a vendor I have never heard of before I will use a temporary number generated by my CC company where I can set a dollar limit and a time limit. I've used PayPal a couple of times, but I always...

    Under Tailgate Lights Dim

    Sounds like a corroded ground to me. Typically these lights ground directly to the frame. But over the years, corrosion will get under the bracket and increase the electrical resistance to ground, causing the lights to get dimmer. I've had the same problem with snowmobile trailers. Ultimately...

    2002 Chevy 2500 6.0L 4x4 Overheating When Snowplowing

    All this winter, we've only had TWO days where we got enough snow to require plowing. Just my luck. I go through the expense of getting another truck and then it sits on the driveway with temperatures in the low 40's. Well, we finally got some snow yesterday. Went to plow my son's driveway...

    2002 Chevy 2500 6.0L 4x4 Overheating When Snowplowing

    You make very good points. I had forgotten about the havoc that bugs can create plugging the core. I haven't had the problem with my Duramax, because I use a bug screen in the summer time whenever I've had to drive down south during LoveBug season. I'll try to check it out tomorrow and see if...

    2002 Chevy 2500 6.0L 4x4 Overheating When Snowplowing

    I recently purchased from the original owner a 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 4x4 with the 6.0L gas engine equipped with a 2003 BOSS 8'2" V-Plow to help my son with his business. NOTE: This truck did not come equipped with the VYU Snow Plow Prep Package which would've included among other things a...

    What fuel is primarily used to heat your home.

    Forced air natural gas is the least expensive utility for heating around here. Living in the suburbs, wood is not readily available.

    How many miles do you drive between oil changes and have you ever had a UOA done?

    I go between 5,000 and 10,000 miles. Have had several UOA and every time they come back telling me that I can go longer. Now, I go by what the DIC tells me, which is approx. 10,000 miles. I have been using synthetic oil ever since the first oil change. For the first two years I used Shell...
