Yeah fronts are easy. Pulled a shock and put it back in the other night in 10 min. Maybe that's cause this truck is always getting torn down?? Lol

Well the other day I picked up two nitrogen cylinders that were hydrostaticly tested down town. Not the easiest thing to manuever without a cart. Decided to use my truck vs the shop truck since the shop truck's rear leaf spring have had it. It squats real bad with just one person in the bed.

Knowing GM they will price them the same as a full size. Not worth it buying a small truck better to buy a full size. Plus I'm a big guy so I prefer a full size

Well if you quit beating on that truck so much...it's getting even with you. It just wants some love and attention. lol

Aren't they going to be close to the size inside as the 800s?

Them don't judge them yet! And who said new? You wouldn't believe how many people rush out to get one and realize a few weeks later they can't afford it, let them take the depreciation loss for you. I have been finding a ZL1s with 2 and 3 digit odometers for 7-15K off MSRP. Edited by SnakeEyes

What about the springs, don't they need to be compressed?

No. The spring stays in place while the shock drops out tbe bottom

I did find a Pontiac g8 GT 3 miles from work for 20k. Has 6 speed automatic and I think 67k miles. Of course it's black so that's a plus

I love how my black car looks when its freshly detailed, but the rest of the time it drives me nuts because you can see every little rock chip or spec of dust.

 

My wife's car is silver, and has 15k more miles, yet the paint looks a lot better, even using the same methods on both cars.

Colorado interiors are definitely smaller than the full size no matter 800 900 or k2

    • 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  
    • 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.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • 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.
