My battery light has been on and blinking every since my alternator took a dump on me and even after. So i disconnected the battery today and let it sit for 10 minutes, hooked it back up. I threw in the fuse i took out from my horn going off and honking non stop unless you held the blinker lever a certain way...which resulted in me breaking my turn lever... So back to my story...i put the fuse in and i finally got a horn back after 10 monthes...Crank my truck up and it runs for a sec or so then dies, did this two more times and the same thing...Foruth time it cranks up and runs fine and each time after that also, whats going on?

Drove to the body shop to let them look at my truck, and get the paper work started. Just have to wait for someone from State Farm to come look at it. The guy at the shop that looked at it said the bedside was shifted some because the panel gap between the tail light and tailgate is off. Went to Dairy Queen and Home Depot after that.

I let it rest today.

 

Had a bit of warranty work done to it this week. Replaced 3 trans lines, 1 power steering line and replaced the oil pain gasket. Also had the trans flushed and the diff. fluid changed and the axles fluid changed. Also had the brakes checked and rear drums adjusted/lubed. It is like a new truck again.

 

I had a 2013 SIlverado as a loaner for 3 days and would take my 07 over the 2013. Mine road like a dream compared to the stock silverado.

I drove it to Denny's...wife and kids took me to breakfast for Father's Day. Been driving it everywhere since Friday since I'm waiting on a part for my car (camshaft position sensor went out).

Trying to decide what to do, we are going to fab up an easier way for it to come off but I'm also considering a 15" led bar and mounting it either inside those two holes or below that between the tow hooks

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
