Pollen .... that's something we haven't seen up here in over 5 months!

 

Plenty of road salt, though. :sick:

Installed a toggle swith. I plan on installing at least two more. One will be for a light bar at some point, another for rear bumper lights for hooking/unhooking my trailer at night. Not sure yet what the others will be used for...

What is the black paint on the bottom of the dash trim from? I have the same thing on mine but it is right behind the steering wheel. Haven't tried to take it off yet for fear of making it worse!

It's not paint but the lack of. Pretty common on these, my 2006 had the spot behind the wheel when I got it.

Yeah, it seems GM painted over black plastic in alot of their interiors for several years. Any way to save a buck ...

Just ordered up a set of Hankook Ventus ST RH06 to replace my Blizzaks for snow tires. Excellent!

 

HAHAHAHA! Just kidding - these will be going on my summer 20's. :D I love when people buy these style tires, then rant in the reviews about how bad they are in the snow. You're KIDDING, Sherlock! LOL

 

 

Got them from Discount Tire Direct on eBay for $126 per tire SHIPPED. Couldn't believe it. Almost $200 cheaper than Tire Rack with shipping. They were one of the best rated tires on there - glad I threw the info in Google! Made me $200 richer. Should stick like glue in the summer - that's what I was after. Might have to use 4WD on the grass though, lol.

If they are anything like the Eagle F1, they will be fun tires

From what I've read on the 'Rack, they're very similar, except live a little longer life. They don't make the F1 in 275/55-20, unfortunately.

 

Here's a link to the ones I got. They have killer ratings:

 

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Hankook&tireModel=Ventus+ST+RH06&partnum=755VR0RH06XL&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Chevrolet&autoYear=2007&autoModel=Silverado%20K1500&autoModClar=Extended%20Cab

 

 

 

EDIT: Actually they may have the F1's in that size - it may have been filtered out of the options list, since I logged in with my truck's specs.

My F1's are in 275/45. I went back to stock and needed an equivalent to 255/70R16.

Yep, not the greatest interior, but at least the sheet metal doesn't dent if you look at it the wrong way.

Doesn't apply to anything I want anyways

Seems like a lot of companies have updated thier or created MAP policies for 2016. Now AutoAnything coupons never work.

I really like the layout of the 800 interior, actually.

Can't wait to slip back into another 800 as my weekend warrior truck. New truck may be quiet but I miss my 800 and the simplicity of working on it. Plus I'm not scared to break something cause it's cheaper to repair

      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

      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.
