What do you tow Chris with a coupler height that high? I use a 6" drop, got away with 5-1/4" but 6" put trailer level. The ones I've towed are 16" and 18" high and I'm at 24".



Wes, I don't think I've ever seen so many Cheeto and french fry crumbs under a console in my life! LOL
ya that was even after I cleaned it up a bit, some of that stuff is practically glued on, I had never lifted the console up before, previous owner had a short hair dog and I have found hair in every possible crack and crevice so far

The only thing I've ever towed with this rig is my 5'x8' expanded metal (even the bottom) trailer. Usually to transport my ~800-pound ZTR mower and once a couple months ago loaded to capacity with landscape pavers. I've always had that "zero drop" ball mount and have been using it in the Tahoe. I have a drop mount (6", I think) but I have no reason to use it. Since I mostly tow the mower, the extra angle is convenient for driving up the ramp gate. Also, I lifted the rear of the Tahoe 1" around March or April of this year. I'll revisit the ball mount situation after the Tahoe is 5-6 inches lower than where it currently sits.

Well I guess it's a new day, finally finished the oil pressure switch, fired up and have oil pressure readings again
Definitely having the wrong socket put a damper on the day.
I did lose the old Oil Pressure sensor back there somewhere, should I be worried?

It's a PITA but much better than paying someone 300-500

Key points: Get the Lisle Socket(the Autozone OEM is wrong and won't work) The Oil pressure switch/sensor is vertically installed(many youtube video neglect to tell you that)


While I had a pile of tools, here are the tools you need
(I didn't have a 3/8 swivel, so I ended up using 1/2 drive which worked in my favor)

This combination of tools allows you to work nearly straight down behind the rear plastic shroud(if you have one) and ratchet horizontally:

LISLE Socket
3/8 - 1/2 adapter
1/2 in ratchet
4 inch Wobble extension

-10inch threaded bolt for removing the old filter(and installing the new one)

Look at that nasty old filter, for reference behind it is a high output LED lamp..

Not a fun job, but it's done...hopefully I won't have to do it again for a long while.

While I had a pile of tools, here are the tools you need, I have no idea what the swivel ended extension is called I found it in my inherited tools, but it worked 10x better than my universal joint swivel.(I didn't have a 3/8 swivel, so I ended up using 1/2 drive which worked in my favor)

Glad you got it done! And it's called a wobble extension I believe.

City driving or have you ever towed that setup on the highway?

I only have about a 2" drop when towing with mine.020ea985ca4f994ed3fad2a09736a197.jpge1f64e0e42c6ecb2f1f76292f6897312.jpg

Might be an inch or two high; that Shamrock looks like it has a much taller coupler height than 16-"18" and if she tows well with the WD hitch and doesn't sway, call it good.
