    Okay, that makes more sense. Thank you sir. And this discussion had come up on the other forum I'm on a few weeks ago... if the E-brake is set and the battery goes dead and you can't jump it in your garage (get hood open)... you're sol. Which is also dumb. But what are the chances of all that...

    Flat tire on haul-out today . . .

    Mine are speed rated 81 I think. That looks about where I'd expect the center of mass to be. More like an 80/20 split but lets face it... boats are a different animal and hard to get tongue weight with. I think you're fine. Could always see where the trailer manufacturer wants the CM.

    Well thats what I mean. I have a slightly older 10 speed that has a shifting cable. Did GM just phone in something vs changing the trans or did they update the valve body for shift by wire and get rid of the cable. I don't know. Edit to clarify: the cable is for P/R/N/D selection and nothing else.

    Now I'm curious. Is it electronic shift or actuator moving a linkage external on the trans. I was under the sierra and vaguely recall there being some electronic device similar to a transfer case actuator. Not sure on the "allison".

    Flat tire on haul-out today . . .

    I would say that's probably about right. I always referenced it to centerline of the axles... in your case the middle axle. (Our work trailers are all double). For simplicity sake, I'd guess you're just ahead of the centerline of the front axle. Being your tongue weight seems in line I'd say its...

    Yeah our 22 2500 is normal column shift. The half ton has this janky thing. It works... just wasn't totally intuitive first time I got in. Shifter

    Flat tire on haul-out today . . .

    Most commercial trailers have axles further back. I would assume the balance point to be set where it needs to be to maintain an appropriate and reasonable tongue weight. Probably something like 60/40. 60% in front the axles and 40% behind. Seems to always end up being that way when I load the...

    I have to push a button for park but use a different button to get it out of park while either bumping it forward for reverse or backward for drive. Its just unconventional. I'm used to it but jump between so many vehicles I forget. I grabe it like a normal console shift and it yells at me to...

    I do hate how we went from either console or column shift to these dial, push button, click but still have to push buttons to go into other shifts that everyone is using now... the shifter in the new Silverado/sierra for example is... annoying. Our work expedition has a stupid dial. The Tahoe...

    I also don't remove silver skin. I know its polarizing but if you smoke em right its a non issue.

    End of Season oil changes?

    If you do it at the end of the season you have all winter to address any issues you find. Always fun learning you have water in one of the oils the week you plan to launch.

    I think I've had to adjust a cable parking brake once. Based on the number of recalls of electronic parking brakes releasing or engaging when they aren't supposed to... I'll take my chances. I don't even like hill start assist.

    Loosing Faith in Humanity . . .

    I've done a lot of prop swapping and selling on market place. Works great for stuff like that. Never had luck with vehicles.

    I think you have to hold the button or something and it'll default to regular cruise. Thats how it worked in my girls corolla anyway.
