Re: The Colorado BS thread

props on towing a ford but be careful youre gonna turn that puney little 10 bolt into a frag grenade....especially if you have the G80 rpo code (posi)

Re: The Colorado BS thread

No G80 posi thank god. This was definitely a one time deal. It was a staight shot down the road less than 5 miles, 35 MPH the whole way.

Oh please, I towed plenty of heavy loads with my 2000 5.3l 1500 Silverado without issue on the flats. Even the passes weren't terrible, just slow and loud thanks to high rpm's and an exhaust that dumped out at the rear axle. Mine had the posi in it too.

Yeah I wasnt too worried about it. I was 1600 lbs below the max of 8800. Plus if anything were to happen I still have a over two years on my bumper to bumper warranty I purchased with my loan.

Re: The Colorado BS thread

one word from the local lawdawg on the fine print of your warranty (i.e. their loophole) - "abuse". You never towed nothin!

ask any die hard Chevy guy. 10bolt with a posi is just a ticking time bomb
that's why I run a bw 9 bolt

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Geeze at least get the numbers right!

5100lb SUV
2100lb Trailer

 

[Hypoid]

Re: The Colorado BS thread

5100+2100=7200

That means your tow vehicle has to weigh 1600 lbs to be within it's GVWR?

 

[.40CalPatriot]

Re: The Colorado BS thread

4,925 lbs. Curb weight
6,4000 lbs. GVWR
1,475 lbs. Payload
8,800 lbs. Towing capacity
14,000 lbs. GCWR

Re: The Colorado BS thread

Oh I've seen plenty of govlok explosions, but its not from towing heavy. Its from generating wheel spin prior to the limited slip locking up. The gov-lok uses centrifugal force to engage (as opposed to friction like most) and when abused the shock loading causes it to fail.

Its not abusing the truck if you are within the manufacturer's tow ratings and were using a proper brake controller.
