You need to take that up with GM. I have a gas engine and do not know the oil specs for the 6.6L Duramax. But I do know it has to meet GM specs. All I know is if I use Mobil 1 0W-20 Dexos 1 Gen 3...

I was truck shopping recently and there were plenty of non-white trucks on the lot. Only about 20 percent were white. Maybe it's a regional thing where it gets really hot in the summer. I finally...

Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act isn't going to cover you if their oil doesn't meet GM specs and your engine failed.

How charitable of them to promise you their product won't void your warranty. I take it the manufacturer of your vehicle is in full agreement, right?

This is why I refuse to buy anything with a Murphy bed in it. The first thing most people do with a new trailer is get a topper or replace the mattress altogether. I'm 6' 2" so the only type of...

This is what I responded to...22" wheels are usually aftermarket and non-hub centric as well which brings on other problems.

Lots of 22" options on Chevy and GMC trucks. On the GMC I just built there was one choice for 18" wheels, one choice for 20" wheels and eight choices for 22" wheels.

The yellow sticker tire pressure is the correct amount at any payload. I pull my 192RBS and have no issues whatsoever towing at any speed. In fact, I don't even use the sway bar because it's so...

It's a scam designed to help you avoid sales tax and high registration fees in your home state. And some states are starting to crack down.

I do too many short trips, which is murder on a diesel. I'm quite happy with my 6.2L. If you do get a 3.0L, the earlier trucks with them could not be had with the max trailering package. Newer...

For those in states where going over 10,000 lbs GVWR matters for licensing you can still get a Silverado or Sierra 2500 with the 10,000 lb GVWR. For those in states where it doesn't matter, there...

One thing to consider about a 2500 is that Ram only has a 10,000 lb GVWR version, which severely constrains payload capacity, especially if you get the CTD. GM gives you the option of a 10,000 lb...

GVWR on the Rockwood is almost 10,000 lbs. That's 3/4 ton territory unless you want a Ram with the CTD, in which case you'd really need a one ton. And totally beyond the capability of the OP's Jeep...

GVWR of this trailer is 7590 lbs and you have a Jeep Grand Cherokee. To be perfectly honest, that's too little tow vehicle and too much trailer. A half ton with the max tow package could do it, but...

Only junk tires from China are rated at 65 mph. That's why I run Goodyear Endurance tires on my trailers. Made in the USA and they're rated up to 87 mph. Never had a single problem with them.
