I am 6'7 and weigh about 290 pounds and my 3.0 pulls me on a tube....no problem and there is PLENTY of throttle left to really get me hurt if I wanted to be pulled faster. Keep in mind, the guy driving is 5'10 and weighs another 250+ pounds. If I were shopping again, I would probably go with a...

Here is the info on the diesel bluetec for the half tons: http://www.autoblog.com/2007/06/15/gm-announces-clean-diesel-v8-for-pickups-and-the-hummer-h2/ I get a GM employer discount...CAN'T WAIT!! :)

I spoke with the owner of a Chevy dealer here. Chevy is going to be putting BlueTec diesel engines in their half-ton pickups. They will be available in the Fall of 2009. They will get significantly better gas mileage than their gas/flexfuel counterparts and they will have a higher tow rating.

Unless the Xterra just refuses to move, don't put it in 4LO on pavement. You could up tearing up the driveline and transfer case, especially with all that weight on the back.

Hi Dan, I tow with the 02 HO. Are you going through rotors like I am. It seems like I can put about 15,000 miles on those pieces of **** before I have to get them turned or replaced.

I tow my 180 with a 02 Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 HO V8 engine. I believe it is rated to tow around 5 to 6000 pounds. Keep in mind that my Jeep is a heaver vehicle than most of the crossover SUV's and it has a longer wheelbase. It does a decent job but I have some observations to pass on: 1...

Alot of this has to do with the value of the American dollar. The dollar has lost ALOT of value out in the global markets. Canadians are coming across the border here to buy property, cars, clothes, etc etc because for the first time in 30 years, Canadian money is actually worth more than the...

So do you think that we might have a problem? The engine temp usually sticks around 170-180ish. How much does it cost to get the impeller or water pump changed?

Sorry to bump an old thread, but mine runs between 170-180 at cruising speeds. Wide open, she runs at 190.

37 mph with a 19 pitch prop. She cruises really nicely at about 20-25 mph.

I was at the Sea Ray dealer the other picking up my boat after it was summarized. I was seriously thinking about trading her in and upgrading until I started looking at the fuel capacities on the newer boats. I figured that between the higher payments and fuel costs, I would probably cut my...

Thanks for the welcome!:) I have lots of "dumb" questions, but I promise to use the search feature first.

Hi all, My name is Scott. I am a new member to the forums living in Whitefish Montana. We bought a used 2001 Sea Ray 180 BR last summer with the 3.0L mercruiser alpha 1. I will have some pictures to post later on from Lake Mcdonald(Glacier Park), Whitefish lake and Flathead lake.
