[Slow leak]

It is more than likely a rim bead leak. I'm sure your mechanic has already done it but wire brush the inner rim where the bead sits really well then use a some bead sealer.  Just a mention one time i came across where the rim (aluminum) had a really small pin hole just enough for the tire to loose air but never really go flat,  Also try spraying some soap and water around the valve stem if there is any corrosion on the rim it can slowly leak there as well. Good luck hope you get it figured out.

Better check the weight rating on the extensions   The one pictured is rated as a class 2   3,500lbs max load.

 

How big of a trailer do you tow?

 

 

Yea i will definitely keep an eye on the restrictions I was looking at the extension online and noticed what you are mentioning.  I tow a double place trailer your normal 101 by 11 open as my enclosed isn't really road worthy anymore.  Been looking for another enclosed a 3 to 4 bed but prices are still crazy for the most part so I'm trying to wait it out for a bit so I don't have to sell one of my kids to buy one lol.  

Thanks again for the heads up on the extension i appreciate it.

Had one of the multi gates in the shop today, I specifically dropped the small section and left the big section up, then just leaned on the top, where you would place the track, suspension of the sled on for transport... the hinges were flexing badly, and I was not reefing on it by any means... no way I would put a 400lb plus sled on it, then drive.

 

In my opinion (yeah I know), you are asking for problems. your results may vary. Ski

Thanks for reply.  I think i will just stick with leaving it down and making some adjustments with my trailer.  I appreciate it thanks again.  Cheers

If you don't mind me asking, who said this at the dealer? Was it the dealer principle or  Service/Warranty Manager? If not, no attention should be paid. Even if it was one of the ones I mentioned, I would want some guarantee in writing with a signature. JMHO

First it was the salesman and i was already thinking he didn't know. So I reached out to a mechanic that i know there he said he thought it should be fine but he wasn't 100% on it.  I thought he may know as he is a sledder as well.  But I'm going with what skidooboy said above and not even going to attempt trying it.  I already have the plywood ready to go.  Juat need snow now lol.

I think some will rest on the tailgate if they have a trailer in tow, depending on the trailer tongue length, could be a clearance issue.

Otherwise, I agree, tailgate down.

 

Sorry, no comment on the tailgate question - I imagine they are built to support some weight, I personally would not take the dealers word for fact though. 

That is what i was thinking on the dealer as well lol.  Might just have to by a newer trailer then i have an excuse now lmao Thanks

why not just leave the gate down? never understood why people want the sled tail high, resting on the tail gate. raising the trucks center of gravity, and the possibility for denting, twisting the gate. not to mention what will happen when the brakes are applied hard, or the truck hits a stout object, sending the sled cartwheeling ass over end, forward.

 

one suggestion to you is, to lube the heck out of all the hinges, motors, etc... that is what is going to make the multiple use gate fail and lock into "normal" position faster than anything.

 

congrats on the new truck. Ski

Thanks. Yea i have np leaving it down as i have done in the past which is what i prefer tbh. Sorry i should of elaborated more on my question.

 What i noticed when i had the trailer hook onto the truck the other day the trailer was very close to the tailgate (open) when it was angled. Although it probably won't hit the truck still makes me nervous lol.  I already had to move the spare to another spot as it wanted to hit the gate when turning but i caught it before there was any damage.  

Thanks for the reply Ski.

Hey everyone just wondering for any of you that have a Gmc pickup with or without the 2 step tailgate. I'm now a proud owner of a 2022 Gmc 1500 at4 and I was wondering has anyone had a sled in the back with the sled with the sled resting on a closed Tailgate or the little part open and the sled resting on it.  The dealer says it should hold the weight, but these new tailgates seem like paper compared to the older trucks.  So just curious if anyone has had any issues?  Thanks in advance
