Cleaned my glass with this:

Did a really good job taking off all the hard water spots and made it really shine. Just put a coat of rain x on it and I should be seeing clearly now. Also plan on taking the truck into the shop I had my differentials set up at. The pinion seal is leaking (been so for a while) and the fluid seemed black so I'll have him pull the cover and check the locker cause I had it up in the air today and was making some pretty bad noises

What was that glass sealer that is similar to rain-x but a different brand? Multiple people stated that it works for 6 months or so at a time.

Durability for the wax stinks from what I hear, its main advantage is the wax is black in color so it fills in all the scratches and chips it make the paint look closer to perfect.

 

 

If they could make it LAST( once the Wwax is gone so are the side effects) then they'd have a huge hit. I just wonder why no one has done with synthetic wax yet, perhaps the dye hampers the durability.

Probably the cleaner was really thick and nice but the wax wasn't it was quite runny. But as far as keeping black looking nice it does awesome. Maybe use the cleaner with a different wax next time and see how that works.

Pulling a transmission in my shop (aka driveway) on my uncles grand caravan. What a pain in the @$$. I'm tired of working on it and only got 3 hours sleep so that doesn't help

That stuff is junk. I've used it a couple times and the black color in it comes right off in the car wash

Drove all the way to the dunes. Aired down. Undid the flag. Dog was excited we were gonna watch prerunners and my friend Neals build. What happens? Absolutely no 4wd... think the actuators toast. FML every time I make plans something happens. I'm done.

Not even 4 low? Better not be the one on the tcase. That one is $$$. Does it still give you 2low? Just no front axle?

      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

      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.
