So I've been real busy with work & family but...

Replaced front shocks...passenger was completely collapsed.

Replaced engine oil cooler lines...what a royal pain in the rump. Took me the better part of the 3 day weekend to get it done. If they leak ever again, I'm NOT going to replace the entire thing. My family got to hear plenty of not so proper language on that job.

I have seen guys get pulled over for being over the legal height, but those are usually guys with old fords lifted 15" with 44's under it lol

 

Funny story, I've actually had a state trooper pull up next to me and tell me to roll down my window. When I did he asked how high the lift and what size tires. He said looks perfect and way cleaner than "those kids that lift them stupid tall and can't use em except to make themselves feel bigger down below" [emoji23] [emoji23]

Oh I hear that man - what a craptastic design that is! You should see how much fun those lines on the Blazer/Jimmy/Bravada are on the 4x4's - I've got small hands for a guy, & I still end up bleeding like I was in a boxing match inside a blender ... :uhoh:

 

When they leak, I dremel the metal crimp in 2 or 3 places, peel it back, then cut the "petals" off. Then yank the original hoses off, and install some quality oil resistant lines from NAPA or the store of your choice, and re-install them with wide hose clamps. DONE. They usually don't leak as quickly after that modification. :cheers:

The northeast is a drag for modding vehicles. Michigan has a vehicle code but no inspection. Apparently most officers can't be bothered to pull people over for it. A few summers back a friend got a pic of a rotted out 400-series truck that looked like it was about to break in half. Still being driven.

Took her out for a trip for dinner after she was plugged into the battery tender most of the week while we were on a roadtrip in the wife's ride.

      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.

      "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!
