Got 30% on my fronts. I like it a lot. If you wanna see a pic let me know. Not a real big noticeable difference from 30-35. I couldn't go to dark as my wonderful city has tint laws.. I have 20% all the way around on my other truck and been pulled over twice haha.

Did anyone notice scratches on the film from rolling the glass up and down? My acura had bad scratches as the weather stripping did not have moleskin. Wondering if that is necessary for the 2014.

I have 20% and it matches pretty good. State law in SC does say no darker then 27%. I haven't had no problems with cops at all. When the law use to be 35% I got lots of tickets. Then again I had a Camaro at the time that drew a lot more attention.

Can you send a pic? i want to see what 30% will look like on ours trucks with doing nothing to the back.

im not sure what % my fronts were done. But they match the rears perfect.

judging from the picture in your signature, i like your tint setup! kind of the look I'm going for

I was told by the tint place doing mine that the rear tint was actually made into the glass and did little to nothing to block solar/UV rays or heat. They said it was purely for looks so I had them go over it also when they did the truck. Don't know if its true or not.

 

It protects from UV rays but it doesn't give the heat blocking properties of actual window film. So in hotter climates like California aftermarket tint is a must in my opinion, especially with a black interior

I got mine done today. I told them to match the front to the back and don't put a strip across front. He said it comes out to about 20%. today is sunny and definitely more light come through to the backseat as the factory tint allows more rays through, but overall I love the way it looks and couldn't be happier

Had my front done with 5% and had 20% put on back slider and rear doors and they match really close but they are extremely dark and kind of hard to see out of at night. No trouble with law yet.

      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

      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.

      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.
