We can't help them; we can't even post the answers here because the lurking nooberators will only drag the answer back there like a dog eager to please their owners will bring back a dead chipmunk and lay it on the doormat.
But some of the unanswered questions are just so plaintive I had to share a few:
Somebody who thinks that 100% of the tongue weight is NOT going to the tow vehicle, and other minor math errors:
A lot goes into figuring what you can and can not tow. For instance. The tongue weight is a hard and fast limitation. When hauling a trailer, roughly 2/3 of the tongue weight is tranferred to the tow vehicle. In my case, this is entirely too much weight. But, when a W/D hitch is properly setup that 2/3's is divided between the two axles of the tow vehicle, (1/3 and 1/3), and the trailer takes the other 2/3's. This is very doable.
Question from a Chevy, non SS, owner:
how is the suspension for towing. air bags or some kind of helper spring recommended? will be using it to tow 4 quads total weight under 4k. reason I ask is I had half ton pickup towing 5500# camp trailer and had very soft springs and drove terrible (soft and squirrely). Had to put overloads on it just to get it to stand up. putting more weight into the w/d made it ride very choppy. Didn't some of these come with some kind of factory air leveling system? If so whats it called, how does it work and whatis the coding to tell if I have it.
In the stepper motor thread:
stepper motors
where do we get them at web site or somethin
Actually, you're a bit late
:
Glad to be on board
been using the site since oct. when i got my trailblazer and finally signed on. Bout time right.
No replies to a trivial question
:
i recently bought a Hunter full grill guard and installed it. i noticed it was drilled for lights so i bought a cheaper set from advance auto and put them on tonight. now, i had them hooked up, and the switch was lit, but the lights weren't working. i messed with the grounds on each light and they went on. then, everything went out. the inline fuse doesn't look blown. i'm wondering what is wrong, or at least which forum to look in. i checked off road and the 02-09 forum.
Remember, this isn't a thread to display how WE would answer the noobs. We KNOW all the answers. That's not the issue. It's just a sympathy thread for the poor noobs who need to find US instead of the OS when they Google for things like "trailblazer forum".

Maybe, we all know they'll read this, then again they aren't that bright.
Are you working on a book? If so, how do you find the time between work and helping us here? Hell, I don't know how you find the time to go off-roading.
THANK YOU GENTLEMEN FOR MY MORNING CHUCKLE
