Be glad these trucks don't need friction modifier. I did my internship in a Ford shop and whenever I popped the cover on a truck with a LSD the smell made me gag. :lol:

:O

I think mine have been done once or twice since I've had my truck. Plus tranny pan drop and filter yearly.

Changed my oil, greased front suspension, and rotated tires. All was well till I got to the passenger front and found this:

That's right, my brand new lift snapped my sway bar end link. Not even 3k miles on it. I'm going to go back to the Rough Country sway bar end links. Those were easy to install and didn't break, how about that!!!

I don't see how you can drive at night with tint like that. I can't see out my back window after dark and it's 10% Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I returned my tune back to stock due to I have to take it to the dealer to have them look/fix a whine/vibration in the T-case when I put it in Auto or 4hi/lo. All I can say is HOLY CRAP, I didn't realize how much it changed my truck. Cant wait to put the BB tune back on. Also hoping they don't have a issue with my level kit since this will be warranty work.

I figured they would, I know its not any of those parts making the noise or vibration its something with the t-case. Only does it when I put it in 4wd or auto

Installed new spark plugs, Serp. Belt, and ABS sensor that I tore up replacing the rotors and brakes on the Colorado. Such a nightmare to work on!!!

Unloaded more junk. Put my blade on my quad to plow my yard. Sold an old canopy. Hopefully sold my 5.3 and power train for over double what I paid for it. Fixed the 03s leaky washer pump, put in my hir1 9011 and 9012s and did the 6 hi mod as well as new wiper blades

      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.
