Good to hear you guys still pulling boxes with 6.0 gas engines over 120k++! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img] I just turned 120k with my '04 2500HD, crew with 6.0 and I'm concerned with the engine temp creaping up to 220 or so when pulling up the mountains - trans temp creaps up to 210'ish as well. It didn't always do this, except at 60k miles when I had to replace the water pump.... My boys want me to get a Class A diesel pusher..... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/eek.gif[/img]

Marlin,
Mine is an '08 3500HD 6.0 gas with almost 200K on it. Runs great. Those are very good motors. Mine has the towing package and the temp never budged towing uphill.

Nice trailer Chuck! I went with Pace as well. I didn't get &quot;all&quot; the goodies, but bought a well made trailer and ordered quality components. When I was shopping, I talked to several of the people building them at the price point I had in mind. My question to each was, Why should I buy your trailer? The answers were interesting because I'm a fabricator/ Inspector. I understand cheap and BS very well, I have to in my line of work. I don't have the best, but I'm very very happy with their product.

BTW, I like the V nose....I love the way it pulls, esp when part of a convoy of semi's.

What size did you get? Now that you have owned it a while, what if anything would you change? And if anyone once to chime in I'm curious about &quot;E&quot; track, yes/no?
Thx

8.5' X 20' You gain about about a foot and a half in front with the V. Plenty of room for a first Gen Camaro....

I've added some custom stuff to the inside to make things easy. Added a winch, spare tire mount inside, trailer aid ramp and mount, small toolbox, 110V hook up, fire ext, added alum plates in the floor where my tires sit, a mount on the wall to hold my tie downs, and a custom mount in the floor to hold my draw bar and torsion bars when I'm not &quot;hooked up&quot; so the grease stays off me, paper towel holder.....Everythings aluminum so I keep it light.

I didn't have a need for the E track, I only haul a Camaro and the tie downs suffice. Works for me....

I think my PACE Shadow GT was built in Utah around 2004........I bought it around 2011....

NOT Aluminum.......Undercarriage is steel and very unimpressive !!!

I think its unusual in that its 20' with 10,000 GVW axle package.

I changed wheels and added TOWMAX Load Range E tires

Im still wanting to come up with location and plan for winch &amp; battery ???

I have the tow package as well, trans cooler and temp gauge, - all the good stuff. I took it to the dealer before the towing season, they could find nothing wrong. I had them change the thermostat just for peace of mind. My truck sits, sometimes for weeks at a time, so I'm thinking the radiator is starting to block up.... Overall, it's a very good truck!
