Is 5w-30 ok for the 5.3 v8?
That is manufacturer recommendation. It’s all I use. Thanks for watching!
@@westernsoutherner1 I heard the 0w-20 is too thin and thanks
@@westernsoutherner1 what’s your thoughts on a AFM disabler ?
I would agree for this year/model. GM recommends 5w-30.
I have not had issues with AFM personally. I do 4k miles oil changes.
hello sir...did u resolve the prob after code came back? if so what was the issue? thanks
The code came back- I took it to my shop and Ill make a follow up video with some other actions I took as well as their diagnosis and repair (hopefully). I figured out how to graph my O2 sensor readings and Bank 2 sensor 1 read out was sloppy and may be the issue. This, of course, would go against the logic of a P219a code being a bank 1/drivers side issue. Ill have an update out this weekend or the week after whether its fixed or not. Thanks for watching!
@@westernsoutherner1 okay man thanks..i wish you all the luck.
The diagnosis was the lifter valley gasket....I have never heard of it but apparently there is a pretty good oil leak, which is also a vacuum leak throwing off fuel trims. 800$ job so I really hope its the fix. I burn/leak about 3/4 quart of oil in 3000 miles so perhaps this is where its going?? Ill circle back again whether is fixed or not.
@@westernsoutherner1 okay thanks for update.i hope it works
Video.😂
Thanks for watching!
Looks amazing btw😅❤

Your comment about rifling through Rubbermaid containers hit me, def on point. I need to get some duffel bags! Thanks bud! A friend and I are planning on doing a weekend camping trip next weekend and I've been trying to remember all the stuff i need to find lol
Thanks for watching! I’m an “out of sight/out of mind l” kinda guy. Good luck with the old duffel bag trick!
@@westernsoutherner1 I really am too, ha!
Having my street smart 6L80 transmission installed right now. Glad to see yours is doing good. Mines in a 2008 Escalade.
I am at 242,761 miles on the truck with no issues. Around 15k miles on the new unit. I put it under a lot of stress towing a 6000 lbs camper over lost trail pass (one time deal) and towing a raft trailer out of canyons (light load towed often over rough terrain). Good luck with yours man!
What kind of canoe are you in?
Its an Old Town Discovery 16"4". Kind of the summer camp special but a functional canoe none the less. Got it at a pawn shop for $250. The seat back is a discontinued seat back model that my wife's grandparents got us. Really nice.

Damp rid under the bed and in the camper.
Ha yes we keep some in there- believe it or not we are in such a dry setting there was only like an ounce of water in the bottom after a year or so... Good reminder though never the less in the event that we have a leak or something gets wet. I grew up in the southeast where its so humid your jacket sleeves towards the back of a the closet can get mildew- I love the climate out here.
Where do you place your bottle jack to lift the truck in front and rear when changing tires? I have the same exact truck and have Lance camper
I havnt changed a tire with this truck/camper yet. I have done it many times on a 2010 Silverado 4x4 and I placed the jack under the frame either far back or up close to the front tire. I used the rear hitch once and the diff head before too. I always had to put some 2x6s under the jack to get enough height. It gets a little sketchy for sure. I cant imagine a High-Lift jack being any safer but I could be mis-informed. I have considered getting a small floor jack but they are pretty clunky to keep in a truck camper. Either way an "overkill" approach seems important with matters like these. Thanks for watching and good luck!
@@westernsoutherner1 that’s so sketchy to add piece of wood to raise jacks yes. Thank you for taking the time to reply!
Undaunted Courage one of my favorites.
What’s your camper weight?
Its heavy- about 1800 dry/2100 with all tanks full. Need a 2500 or 3/4 ton truck to carry it.
I just bought one. Same year.
Oil changes are your friend. I just rolled over 238K. I run Mobil 1 extended performance 5w30 and a Fram ultra guard filter every 4000 miles. Fresh/clean oil is important to keep the lifters cleaned out amongst lots of other parts of the engine. Youre probably already aware of these things and thanks for watching!
I bought mine with 214,000 miles on it. I feel crazy 🤪 for buying it but I really love the truck. I just got the mechanic to run flush through it and change the oil. Because low oil pressure light came on. It runs good now but I may need a tune up.
@@remopiccioni9456 Yea just keep an eye on the oil level and do regular changes. I dont let my oil change meter get below 50%. Run good full synthetic and it should keep it cleaned out. Make sure you have the new valve cover intalled also- there was a TSB about it because the built in PVC valve would get clogged leading to all kinds of issues like burning oil/running rough etc. I switched out mine with a Dorman brand years ago in the driveway. It was an easy swap out. The new cover had baffles to keep oil from clogging the valve if I remember correctly. Good luck!
Where is that?
Salmon River has a lot of hot spring pools. They are underwater when spring melt rolls through.
Looks amazing out there, great video! Glad it popped up on my recommended.
Thanks for watching!!
Niiiiiiiiiiiice. Subbed
Thanks for watching man!
Awesome video! You’re living the dream! I’d love to do a solo camping/fishing adventure someday!
Thanks so much for watching! Good luck on planning a trip and let me know if you have any questions I could help with.

Be safe
Nice video. Are you pleased with how your camper furnace performed in the very cold temps? My van propane furnace works well but I am curious how it would do at -30F.
Thanks for watching! Yes I am okay with how it works, however I have a long career in the backcountry so my tolerance is pretty high. You would use a lot of fuel for certain. I would keep a secondary heat source around too like a generator and space heater.
Interesting that my propane generator cranked and ran at -30 but my Merc. Diesel engine gave me a hard time. I thought propane did not perform at extreme cold. @@westernsoutherner1
Yea usually propane gives trouble at that cold. I think my coldest camp was -7 in the camperr. I had the fittings shrink once and propane was leaking out. Sketchy. That was low single digits when that happened. Replaced the pigtail and the flame king tanks appear to have a better seal. Diesel has a hard time in the cold too I guess. I don’t know anything about the diesel heaters but seems like they are catching on.
Cold weather does all kinds of weird stuff to things
your video is very good❤❤❤
Thank you for watching!
My dog would be rolling around in it 😂
Oh yes they love to be in their world!
Yeah, mud is good for dogs' skin too. I guess he knew, and you didn't...
Thanks for watching!

I love watching dogs love life!
@@westernsoutherner1 me too,she sixteen now,so I'm considering bringing a younger rescue staffy into the family. Watching my dog waddle through life is for me no different than watching my kids grow up,pure joy. All the best to you n your dog 🍺🇬🇧

Promo`SM 😱
Nice to have a four season trailer. I used to have a 28’ jayco. You may want to look at air bags for the rear if you find your rear squats a bit even with the WD hitch. Pulled with a 1500 chevy and an F350 diesel. The 1500 pulled, but with the winds on the prairies it was pedal to the floor, course the diesel was a dream, until it left me stranded with an emissions sensor failure.
Agreed the 1500 is maxed out hauling this thing. I have a 2500 but a truck camper sits on it pretty much all the time. Any long hauls with the trailer and Ill use the big truck. Thought about airbags also- long list of toys, mods, and maintenance as Im sure you understand. Diesel operations/emissions is a complex world. The 4 season is really nice-stays around 40F-50F in the guts of the camper so far as I have monitored even on nights in the 20's. I leave the little inside doors open to make sure warm air circulates. The Artic Fox is a hell of camper I have to say. My dad has a 20" Microlight that he modified with heating pads on the water tanks and has used it in surprisingly low temps (teens) as well. Of course he was consistently monitoring it with laser temperature gun. Obviously a lot of power and fuel consumed to maintain a functional plumbing in conditions like that. Thanks for watching!
