My new Diesel truck


TurboNova

Recommended Posts

Was kind of looking to step up to a 3/4 to 1 ton diesel so I placed my 1/2 ton up for sale and sold it in 2 days, so I began looking and found this in southern ohio from the original owner. It seemed very well maintained and everything i was looking for. It does have some big a/t tires for a dually but they have grown on me and they really arent bad on the highway driving as far as noise.

 

 

Had andy come out and put the shine to it. I thought it was clean when I got it and after andy shined it up, it turned out amazing

 

2009 GMC 3500 CCLB 4x4

Its got a 4" straight pipe exhaust with filter delete

Leveling kit

Turnover hitch

EFI Live Tune

FASS Lift pump

 

Overall very happy with it, I was stretching the limits with the 1/2 ton pulling our camper and I hated the thought of being limited to a 24' enclosed car trailer once I get rid of my open one. Im going to be shopping for a smaller gooseneck or maybe a 28-32' tag car trailer at the first of the year.

Very nice pickup, this thing towing the Nova would be quite a setup.

 

From the looks of those tires though, I would verify that they are load range E before you hook a trailer of any size to it. Ditto on seeing that they don't require a spacer in the rear....

Thanks derek! The switch was for a multiple tune however it just has one tune now.

 

The tires should be ok, but it is worth looking into, this is the the 3rd set of tires per the original owner. They last around 40k per set and this set has about 4-6k on them. He has a farm and pulled hay on a gooseneck and a tool trailer around. I dont plan on anything over 32' long for my new car trailer whether its a gooseneck or tag.

really nice looking truck.....I was on the fence about a dually vs single when I bought mine. In the end the size of them in a parking lot and the price to put tires on them scared me away. A big ass crew cab dually though is pretty sweet. That tread pattern looks like Toyo's but I could be wrong. I love my Toyo MT's on my truck and my buddy put Toyo AT2's on his that are pretty nice tires. Both are e rated.
