I've not done the inner tie rods before but the outer tie rods are just like what we have at work. It seriously takes me longer to get my tools out of the toolbox as it does to change the outers.

I think I might change the outer ones while I'm doing it. Then I'll know I won't have any problems with tie rods for a while. Edited by Daryl Z71

Only makes sense. Might as well do your pitman and idler arms if not done, and I highly recommend the cogntio steering support kit. Really helped tighten up my steering. Now I know I had 35's and it tightened it up, I bet it would be nice on a stock truck

Was thinking about that too, but I'm not sure if I have the funds for all that right now. My current tires keep going flat after a week or so, and I need to get the bad parts replaced so I can get an alignment, and put the new tires on. Seems like it's going to be a bad winter so I really need to get my new tires on. I could also use a borgeson steering shaft, mine is pretty clunky...

 

Where'd you get the steering support at?

 

I do have to say though driving this thing in the snow after driving the Cruze last winter after trading the 2011 Silverado, I had forgotten how good these trucks really go.

This is just a link to the kit, I do not remember if I bought it through Cognito or one of their suppliers

Actually I'll probably get weathertech mats and an under seat organizer. Level kit is possible but not for certain. Intake and a nice exhaust will be in the future and quite possibly a BB tune. That's pretty much stock, right!? [emoji23]

 

EDIT: clearly I don't have an auxiliary trans cooler cause Temps were around 195 in 50 degree weather. That is the first investment I am making, and probably in the next week!

I thought the V8s all had the cooler. The six speeds run hotter in these trucks. Every one I've driven (5 now) ran hot trans temps.

I just ordered 2 pairs of osram night breakers unlimited in the stock 9006 fitments. My dad could use new bulbs on his '06 too.

 

I went down the relatively conservative route but I think its for the best given my application.

 

And in the meantime I will clean up the lenses with some good old toothpaste.

I think I asked before, but where do we order those gm-trucks stickers? I'll rep it on my new truck [emoji106]

 

And I finally did a 4 hi mod on my 02. Can't believe I've put it off so long and it took 5 min. Get me a set of 9005 5000k HID'S to put in and I'm sure it will really light up the night

      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.
