    Paint Bubbling on '08 EL. Walk away?

    All, I'm in the shopping process, and we've come across an '08 EL Ltd that we like quite a bit. Perusing this and other forums, I've come across the paint issue. I went back and looked a little closer this afternoon, and the truck I've been looking at has a quarter sized bubbling on the...

    How hard is it to wire in a 7-pin connector to an Expy that came from the factory without one? From what I can tell, there is already 4 wires there (right, left, ground, and taillights), and there is a loose wire for trailer brakes. What about backup and 12v power? Also, is there a simple...

    Thanks Expypate. I have found that. Unfortunately, window stickers are kind of vague. For example, this truck: 1FMJK1J50CEF13816 says it has the class iv towing package and trailer antisway. But looking at it in person, it doesn't have the 7 pin connector, which I've been told is an...

    Thanks again for your help, everyone. This HD tow package thing is getting murkier for me, not clearer. I looked at/drove by about 10 ELs this afternoon. I took a picture of the transmission cooler that I believe may be part of the HD package. As you may or may not be able to tell from...

    Thanks Cobra. You're right -- with the gears already there, it is a lot easier to upgrade the cooling than do everything from scratch. I hope I don't have to go that route. I have identified a couple more ELs that appear from their window stickers to have the upgraded tow package. I plan to...

    One more quick question -- would I be correct in assuming that a window sticker that says "Class IV tow pkg" and "trailer sway control" is equipped with everything I need to achieve the max rating? Thanks again!

    That's what I was afraid of (so to speak -- I was hoping this was equipped to tow and someone just removed the 7 pin connector for some reason!). I guess finding a truck and adding the stuff aftermarket is always an option. Whether I go that route will depend on how hard it proves to be to...

    Stoned, thanks for the reply. Yes, I am a little leery of getting an improperly equipped vehicle for our needs. Shopping used is always kind of an adventure - you have to get there and inspect the vehicle itself, because most salesmen seem to think that a tow hitch receiver = max towing...

    Hello all. I am in the market for a newer full-size SUV. We have a large family and a 27' travel trailer that we like to use mostly on short weekend trips. We currently have an '05 Suburban that we are looking to replace in the near future with a slightly used vehicle. Since a newer Suburban...
