Towing with the 5.3 V8

[EXSlider400]

I wonder what else changed when they updated the manual. That one is pretty significant and their was no "update insert" like I had in my 07 Tahoe.

 

Now I find out that my v8 tows less than a v6..... why even manufacturer that??

Your tires are now rated for a maximum of 100 miles at a max of 55 mph. Sorry. ;)

funny but when the time comes seriously looking at some Cooper discoverer At3 owl. Great all around traction and wear.

Thanks for the feedback. I can't compare on tire rack since They don't sell them

That is one sexy tire.

I'll probably stick w/ the tried and true Michelin LTX's. Please...nobody tell the wife about the $850 tire change

$850 is a steel! those things can easily run about 1k.

does anyone know if the 2014 silverado with tow pkg (not max tow) has an aux trans oil cooler, or is it part of the engine radiator?

[mike94silverado]

your trans temp would be part of the DIC (digital display in the dash) I don't know on the trans cooler.....

Guide says there is an external cooler included with the 5.3

what is the most weight someone is going to tow with a 5.3 -3.42 gears

Depends which cab, box, 2wd/4wd and rear end ratio, if you looking for the tow rating.

 

Rear end ratio makes a huge difference in the rating.
