daryl , I am debating just removing the bowtie, or painting just the gold bowtie white and leaving the chrome surround.. Does the gold separate from the chrome? wondering if i can stick a thin screwdriver in between chrome and gold insert and pop out the gold. Not sure tho.

 

 

Today I installed the bull bar.. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/151227-bull-bar-installed/ Pics there.

 

 

Not really sure. Once it was off I chucked it in my toolbox. I'll have to look at it tomorrow.

Thanx, that would be great. If it is still in good shape and you want to sell it, I might take it as a spare in case i crack mine.

That was just a run on sentence. There was no comma-splice, or fragment.

Boats and toilets. That's why I go by Jonathan. Show me a pic of that motor Danny, I don't know if I've seen one.

I doubt you have, they're very rare. Mine is a 97 model. Mercury's motor, but outfitted with the pump by another company, I don't remember who. Paint is a little rough and graphics are pretty faded on one side. I want to redo the engine cover when I repaint the boat itself.

Actual output is around 16hp since the jet loses some. But it's flush with the bottom of the boat which is well worth the loss. I also like it because of the simplicity. No lower unit with gears, just a turbine that pushes the boat and feeds the cooling water. All that controls your direction is the flip up reverser that you can see under the output. The silver canister is a sediment filter for running in very muddy water. I bypassed it for now because the pinhole that sediment is supposed to drain from is too large and not enough water was getting to the engine.

Thanks for the education Danny. That's pretty cool. Looks like they still make a four stroke version. Can't believe I've never seen one before- oh wait, that's right, I'm in the middle of freakin' Iowa. Of course, you're in the middle of Kansas...

That's really cool Ryan, your little guy even has a truck with a matching color to yours.

    • 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. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
