Don't know what planet that guy came from - the 5th gen is just fine in my book.

 

Apparently it's a planet where money trees grow ...

Changed the serpentine and ac belts, also failed NYS Inspection for "emissions system not ready". :bs:

That usually is from either disconnecting the battery, or clearing codes without the drive cycle completing. You'd need your own personal race track to get a drive cycle completed in an afternoon. Nice system GM porked us with there ... :mad:

 

These friggin communist northeastern states have us over a barrel. Pay pay pay, for anything and everything ... and it's never enough! Then, they take that money and piss it away, and whatever's left they use to restrict our rights. :banghead:

 

Thank God for liquor ....

The last time I have any type of code was for the dead oil pressure sensor in the winter, I put the Range mod back in right after so I dont know whats going on. The line coming off the filler neck is broken so Im trying to track where that goes and theres no code from that and never has been. The only fault I get once in a while is the Service Traction Control/Stabilitrack which goes off after I drive it and restart it.

Welp, my truck is dead in the water right now. Got my Diablosport trinity tuner in, updated it, installed tune, truck ran awesome but I wanted to mess with some other tunes. Reinstalled factory tune, said it was successful, installed the "eco" tune came up with error so I reinstalled factory tune again. Went to go start truck to keep battery from dying, no start, nothing. Tuner says it can't detect PCM now and there is no stock file on tuner from what I can see. Called diablosport and their support hours are a bunch of crap. Gonna get off early tomorrow and work on it. Stupid shit like this only happens to me I swear

Had a little situation last night with the microwave, it was humming along and then POOF smoke just starts billowing out and filled the house in seconds. Got everyone out and then unplugged it and ran it outside....far away from everything. Loaded it up this morning in the truck to take to scrap...I know, I know I may be maxing out my payload but it's a one time thing so I don't think I'll have any problems...

Not getting one this year.

 

I worked on a design for a tube rear bumper and sent for a quote to powdercoat that and my receiver hitch. I really need a CNC plasma setup and a new tube bender.

Will not be getting a flu shot this year....or ever. Neither will my wife or any of my kids. We all have immune systems, and injecting them with a strand of flu that was developed last year does not seem beneficial to our health. "A lil dirt never hurt anybody"

      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

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      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.
