New tow rig! Braggin' pic!

Slacker · May 4, 2007

01' 2500 HD 4x4 (happy 33rd B-day to me!)
Tow package, loaded except for leather. Drives like a dream come true.
I REALLY like the fully adjustable heated seats. Super comfortable for my aching back.
It should haul my tractor and other tools without a problem. It's a 6.0 gasser automatic. It's got factory transmision temp guage, tach and aftermarket brake controller. Huge tranny cooler up front. I've very happy with it. Previous owner said 15-16 MPG is normal without a load.

Hey Slacker,

Good truck. PO of truck is about right at 15 mpg un-loaded. My 2500HD gets that and I drop about 1 mpg towing my 16' trailer and Kuboto 7500. I love my truck.

How much does your 7500 weight and what type of trailer do you use?
I'm leaning twards a 16' 10,000lb dual axle w/brakes on both axles, pintel hitch.

Slacker, my 7500 scales at 2300 lbs with FEL ag. tires filled, and woods 4' finish mower. Hooked up it fits on my 16' car hauler, 3500 lb axles with trailer brakes on one axle. I use the Tenosha Prodigy brake controller with there cable that plugs in place of the GM splice cable. It was plug and play simple and I have had excellent results. No trailer bucking, or adjustment factors.

Have fun.

sweet ride
i had a 99 just like it but it was burgandy. pulled like a dream i miss it

.
put some 285 75 16's bfg all terain ta's on it and it will really look good. the only thing i see fail on those trucks is the fuel pump so try not to run it low to often, fuel cools the pump.
also if you put aftermarket exhaust on it make sure you reinforce the hangers they are bad about breaking exhaust manifold studs off with after market exhaust. i put a "suv" flow master on mine and had it dump right over the rear diff on both sides, had a awsome sound and gained power i could feel.
the suv was single duel in duel out muffler.

here is my ole 99, i cant load straight into a thread even using photobucket. anyone want to send me a pvt message and help i would apreaciate it
