throwing together some ideas and crunching some numbers while i was bored sitting in my forest policy today and im really thinking im going to be able to have the trucks on some 37x13.5 inch mud grapps over summer!

I thought you were gettin some LT headers?

I was and still am but I'm going to wait untill I can get an in person BB tune shortly after the LT header install because the truck is going to be nothing but pipe after the headers no X pipe or nothing and I want to have the tune done to make it run good. Should have the money this summer to do both !

I took apart the back end of my suburban due to an old water leak and I couldnt for the life of me get rid of the smell. So I pulled up everything, treated the floor for very minor surface rust, removed and cleaned the carpet and laid down lots of baking soda. Its all back together, not too pic heavy because I was trying to get it done in one shot.

Some of the panels that came off, the huge wheel well panels were outside drying in the sun after being hosed down.

That's the only thing I've changed recently. I'll put up another when I do dat tire rotation. :lol:

You really can't see the grille much, which is what I was going for.

I installed my new parking lights with an amber bulb for a DRL

Since my truck is lifted I think the DRL's look badass when I see them in the reflection of the car in front of me, especially when they are basically on their back window lol

Also had to purposely fail a smog test because the DMV won't grant an extension without a fail. Damn waste of money. Got a new cat. Ready to pass but it needs new knock sensors still

    • 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!
