LOL< my 5 year old and I are both built like big boys, but not quite as big as the reflection showed! He likes helping around the house and on mechanical things.

That's memories Brother and he will all way's remember them too. My Dad let me torque all of the main cap bolts and Head bolts on a 283 chevy engine when I was 10 and I thought I was the $hit assembling an engine!

The number of hours spent on any given forum are directly proportional to the number of dollars spent on subject vehicle.   Ask me how I know.

Sweet! My dad was a ME and did all his own auto work. I've decided to at least do the oil changes to teach the boy.

Has anyone seen/heard the new Dynomax cat back system with the integrated flapper in the VT muffler (part # 38531)? I'm thinking it might be the answer I'm looking for... stainless, nice sound, NO DRONE, and reasonable price.

My buddy has one on his 09. He likes it. It sounds good as well. Great for the price in my opinion.

The cutaway look in side of the Dynomax looks a little sketchy to me. That little spring? But I cannot personally comment. IDK? It might be amazing tho'. And if you did have a problem with it. I would hate to ponder... :dunno:

I built a single in dual out system using a dynomax vt muffler- i basically used the pipes from their kit and substitute the vt muffler. I still get the v4 drone - if thats what you wanna call it. The exhaust sound is perfect when not in v4 it not loud at all unless you have your foot into it. I cannot compare it to another exhaust on this truck because I have nothing to compare it to , All I can say is I ran Gibson on my 2010 5.3 and my 2005 6.0 and those had a drone at cruising speed on the highway and this does not. The kits are relatively cheaper and come with a nice clamps vs the cheap u bolt clamps. I think I built my exhaust for 350.00

Exhaust system mods completed today. I'm very happy with the results. Went with a Flowmaster Super 50 Series single inlet/dual outlet to stainless steel dual walled oval tips. The shop incorporated my flapper valve which was cut off the stock system. The flapper was installed. Upstream of the muffler similar to the GM Borla system. Great sound, not obtrusive and none of the V4 issues others have complained of.

 

Here's a few pics while I figure how to post video.

      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

      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.
