Yes sir. Whatever I haven't used in the past has been thoroughly youtube researched. :) All gear is rated above 30K breaking strength so it should work well with the 10K GVWR Duramax. My family was old school so this gear is an improvement upon "hook up the chain" and go! We have over a decade...

Two extinguishers, short handled shovel, military folding shovel, and two bottle jacks are in the garage. Thanks.

First attempt at a well rounded budget kit. Shiny and new. Hopefully most of it stays that way! Anything else you'd recommend? Thanks.

What rig do you drive and what are your numbers? Thanks.

As we continue our Death Valley planning, I'm trying to figure out what our fuel consumption will be. The truck 6.6 Duramax has a 35 gal capacity and unloaded gets around 18mpg highway. Towing our work cargo trailer (3000lbs) around town is about 12-14mpg. With a rack on top of the canopy and...

Quick "Hey" from western Oregon. Hoping to learn a bunch so I won't over extend my truck's current capabilities. And learn some good "tricks of the trade", so to speak. We have a 2011 GMC Sierra 2500HD with stock drivetrain components. A/T tires at 50% tread life. Thanks, Jason
