I can't wait to have my cluster back. Pretty excited.

Hope he's as good as me. l0l

 

Did 2 more this afternoon, so that's 5 for the day. I told my brother I needed a break and he said '' You're the boss''.

 

You're the boss doesn't stop the phone from ringing.

Bare metal on frame exposed by some kind of scratch. Sanded, primed, painted with flat glass, then clear-coated. Sounds like a bigger project than it was - took all of 15 minutes. Just don't frame exposed to the elements. Still can't get over the fact that a bare-metal frame is wax dipped and not powder painted.

The mountain areas here are good about the road upkeep. And they don't use salt

Yeah .. salt. I wish I hadn't gone out today. What a friggin mess! Roads in town were BARE. :nonod: Truck WAS spotless when I left too. Not anymore.

 

Took backroads home to try and wash some of it off by doing 50 mph in the powder. Wasn't a long enough stretch to do much.

 

I'll tell ya though, these Blizzak DM-V2s stick like GLUE. I came down my hill at just under 50 & firmly applied brake - wasn't until I was almost stopped that the ABS kicked in. Was like driving on bare but wet pavement -felt exactly the same. Granted, this isn't crap for snow - barely 1/2". This storm is just getting ramped up.

Just repaired a pair of ( 15114374 ) for a 2007 Uplander. He just came from the dealer where they quoted him $365Cdn programmed. I love helping people save money, you should have seen his eyes after trying both of them multiple times and me asking for $30. Priceless!!!!! I love my life

    • 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!
