I'd skip headers and just drop in a 6.0. That kind of power will really make that beast come alive. I'd dig up the thread on BBP's blazer.

With a 6.0, he will really want headers then.

This picture is a couple of weeks old, but I am new to the site and have not really done anything with my truck recently.

 

Hauled 4 loads of fill dirt. Good thing I have the air bags.

Talked to the guy I deal with at the dealer. Quoted me 880 for labor for them to pull and install front diff. as well as tear it down and rebuild it. That is not including parts. He then quoted me 600 if I brought it in and they rebuilt it. I think I'm just gonna let them pull it. I'm tired of.getting under this truck. And if it messes up, then it will be under warranty and I won't have to pay again. Learned my lesson, and it cost me probably $1000 plus the cost of this rebuild. Geezz...

Trans is fixed for now... But those couple times I drove it bypassing 2nd messed up the 3rd gear clutch and some internals so it needs a rebuild yay!

 

I'm looking into buying a used low mile trans from this reputable place he referred me to I'll see what they have and have it built up if not I'll have him rebuild mine. But the plan is to drive it until February and use my tax return to go all out on it.

Ouch! What happened the first time?

Shop I went to first time didn't set it up correctly and kept telling me it was different things, and I kept believing them at first. So now I have new front hub bearings and replaced a tcase just for fun lol

If you're getting a significant tax return without owning a home or having children, you're paying too much in taxes. Fix your withholding level and stop giving the feds an interest free loan and spend your money now instead of in February.

 

In California this week. Visited a Tesla and a McLaren dealer today. This is the engine from a 12-C:

      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

      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.
