I live in Austin, TX near where the test was conducted. My 2006 CTD also will also rev up on large hills just to maintain speed when towing my 28' Weekend Warrior. (yes I'm using tow/haul mode) Mine doesn't overheat though.

well why is he runnin his rpm's so high??? geez he's almost redlined maybe that's his problme. o well there was no way he coudl keep up anyway

Mid summer here in oklahoma I towed my other truckon mytrailer loaded with all kinds of cargo, My trailer load tipped around #11000, it was 102 deg outside. We ran a four hour trip at around 80mph and approx. 2600-2700 rpm, never overheated. By that I mean a/c full blast about 68 deg. inside the cab and the truck temp was around 180-185. If it aint CUMMIN it aint goin.

I can't believe it went on that long, talk about a glutton for punishment! If I got embarrassed that bad I sure wouldn't do a video and let it out on the net.

This vid has been a around a bit and discussed in detail elsewhere. From what I remember this tard started to have problems with this Duracrap, so he made these videos to send to Chevy, his lawyer, etc to prove the truck is a lemon.
To tell you the truth, all I see is a tard pounding on a damaged truck, making it worse. You know that head is completely warp'd after that stunt, amoung other things.

I can't believe that the stock computer wouldn't defuel and go into limp mode with just overheateing but it took a fuel rail pressure to put him in limp mode

Soooo, I joined this genius's site, just to see what he was really up to. This is quoted directly from him. As we thought, completely intentional. Idiots like this are the reasons truck cost so damn much. [:@]
And one of the other genius's

That was swatkins, although I did talk to Rick a few times in other sections of other videos. The judge watched all of the 4 hours of DVD I had and heard the conversations with swatkins, rick, and a couple other Dmax owners who called during the filming. It was a sneaky way to more or less get the testimony of other Dmax owners in when I couldn't have otherwise.
Try towing a high wind drag heavy load like that on a hot day and get back to me on how "bad" yours is The fan on my truck does not even run in 98* weather towing the boat and fully loaded with gear and people, about 8-9k total on top of the truck weight. Like so many others I swore I did NOT have an "overheater" for the longest time. Well, I was wrong. When it was worked hard it overheated. Both the engine that it came with and the totally new one they replaced it with, and the new one even had the 06 intake at the time of the test, GM's "fix", both overheated. The new one is a little better it seems, but in the end they overheat the same.
I want everyone to notice that not only did the engine that came from the factory overheat, but also so did the brand new engine they replaced it with. So, just like Rick, I guess I was just unlucky and got two in a row that overheat, even though some still insist that it is "only a very few trucks".
Yeah, right.
The truck topped out right at 72 MPH floored on flat ground with that big *** sail out back. The load kept it constantly working to where all it needed was a hill to slow it, which would reduce the speed and reduce the airflow and reduce the cooant flow and fan speed (rpm bogging against the load), bammo! Dead duck.

The difference in the recovery by the fan was that I had such a high drag load that the truck stayed at or very near maximum outut at all times even on flat ground. It averaged just over 6 MPG for the 1500 miles of heavy overheat tow testing on mostly flat ground so that lets you know how much work it was doing. At times it was getting 4 MPG. Once the temp outside neared 90* all the fan could do was slow the temp rise, it could not ever reverse it, and the fan would run constant mile after mile forever. Every hill then bogged it down against the weight and added that little bit to tip it over to overheat.

I watched it again with a friend of mine that has a LLY that 'doesn't overheat'
He is now p!ssed, and wants to try to overheat his. I told him he can use my TT when it warms up a bit.

What a tool, it appearshe did it all intentionally. Chevy shouldgo back and make them pay for that motor they gave him amd then cut off his sack so he can't contaminate the rest of the world.
