Sounds like a good time!

 

I used my truck for some heavy hauling today, went and picked up a recliner. :lol:

It smelled funny so I hit it with some Lysol and wiped it down. Smells good now.

Missing my truck. I'm on the road this week, at Purdue now in a rental car with a weird smell. I did see a Ferrari 458 today which was neat- such a stunningly beautiful car.

Can you actually see with those LED's while backing up? I have LED's and cant see crap. I have to hold my brake lights to see anything. But they look awesome so I haven't swapped em out yet haha

Basically bought a whole new front end. Now I just got to put it together. 4y9yqahu.jpg Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

 

You should put in polyurethane bushings. Night and day difference in handling

Any particular brand you've had good luck with? Going to be doing some suspension work this winter, and my factory bushings are looking weathered.

 

Maybe I could make my own, made a bunch for the Baja SAE car last year. :lol:

 

Right now I'm debating ordering everything and doing a complete front suspension overhaul (-shocks & bearings, already done) which probably isn't needed, vs taking it to the shop and having them do just what's needed.

Do it yourself it is not hard at all. And you can replace everything for the price of them to install a few things.

 

I used Energy Suspension bushings. Come as a complete kit and perform awesome. Make sure you follow instructions on using the grease it comes with. Buy extra and don't be scared to use it. Just wipe off excess

Someone stole my two 13mm wrenches while I was at lunch. Put a real crimp on how much I could do. I ate at a good Irish pub called 9 Irish Brothers last night, started late this morning because the parking permit office had moved since my last visit and then the wrench thing. Rough start. :lol:

Finally finished replacing all the wear and tear parts on my front end. Gotta love gm! Everything but the wheel bearings and shocks made it to 316k miles. Now I just gotta grease it up and get an alignment.

      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

      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.
