From what I've seen herculiner has the grit factor to it for anti slip and the bed armour looks like its more impact resistant but no grip to it

If that is the case the bed armour would be best for Danny's rockers right?

I would say so. But around here herculiner is $30 less than the bed armour. Both seem to be great products. Just depends on what your preference is.

 

I think bed armour also has kevlar fibers or something like that in it which makes it stronger

Have to when applying to a glossy surface. Take a scuff pad to rough it up. If not it won't stick. My prep work is getting out surface rust spots

Yeah I figured Chris. I just didn't want to do any sanding. What do you guys think would work best for roughing it up? It'd be a good thanksgiving project.

Follow the instructions on the can of bed liner. It will most likely be a green scuff pad. I'm pretty sure the herculiner came with one

I used duplicolor bed armor I rolled on a whole gallon after prepping and it sucks. Don't use it if you intend on actually using your bed. It all comes off and it's not thick. The gallon is enough for an 8 foot bed my 5'8" bed should have had plenty of thickness.

I called duplicolor a gallon is good for 6 ft. I would need an extra qt. I plan on spraying it not rolling.

I'm debating on ripping out the stock bed liner and sending it to line-x. Decisions decisions.

That worries me Sarah. It definitely needs to hold up. Definitely not paying $600 for it though. That is ridiculous for some bedliner on the cab on any budget. I may stop by Rhino Liner sometime and see what they would charge.

      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.
