    Hitch Class

    I have a B&W rated for 16,000 Trailer weight and I think 1600 for tongue weight. I'm pretty sure that these max numbers only apply if using an equalizer set-up in the receiver though

    This is weird,,,,,, wonky gauge cluster

    Thank you all for the quick and helpful responses. I did pull the plug from the gage cluster and checked that all the contacts both on the plug and the circuit board looked clean and shiny but did not know to check the wires, did not know that they can work loose from the actual plastic plug. I...

    This is weird,,,,,, wonky gauge cluster

    Well gang,,,,this is the latest in my quest to fix the wonky dash cluster. As all of you have advised, I finally found the elusive central grounding point. It was up under the dash, behind the cluster bolted to the wall above the parking brake. Wish it had been behind the kick panel like...

    This is weird,,,,,, wonky gauge cluster

    Thanks Bruce,,I will try to twist my old stiff body up into the dash and check for this. I did not suspect a grounding issue because the other lights work it is only the fuel and speedo that are acting up. All the best, Tracey>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    shock advice

    I don't know if it is a problem with the Suburban frames but I have been cautioned against tryiny to support any kind of load with the shock mounts at the frame on my Sierra Classic. Supposedly the frame has trouble holding the shock bolts without deforming around the bolt hole.

    Legs TOO short. Need side steps

    Colin, thank you for taking the time to post up the pic's of how you mounted your boards, man those really look nice and beefy, kinda like the rock sliders that the jeepers run.
