I thought so, I was wondering if i could just use that trim piece to make my own heads up display. Would you mind measuring the dimension of the hole? And how deep is the collision warning lights. I like to see if it is even large and deep enough for mods Edited by morrislee

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Finished mounting the lights on the hood brackets. "Jeepy" for some, but I'm content :)

More moisture got into my fog light assembly because of the shitty LMZ collars separated. The metal and the plastic was suppose to be in one piece as a collar, but they originally broke off once already, super glued, now they broke again. JB welded the shit out of there now too. hopefully my headache is done from now :(

Just the $30 Amazon special haha

The ones I have hooked up underneath the rear bumper have been there for 7 months now and still fire up without skipping a beat (tapped up to reverse lights).... If anything is going to take a beating, it's something inches above the ground, in all kinds of weather and terrain... So I'd say that for $30, they've passed the test.

My lights for my hood brackets came in today. Going to put them on tomorrow all I am waiting on is the switches I ordered to match the one for my light bar. I do need to go to Lowes to find some better nuts to mount these with to try and make it hard if anyone tries to take them off.

Not done too much too her since I am in the process of remodeling so my truck hasn't gotten much love besides finally wiring my tow mirrors up. I do have to say props to Lew and his tunes because now he has gotten my truck the power and MPG I love. Not bad at all for a truck with 7" of lift and 35s. Before anyone bashes that its fudged or whatnot this is so far with 5500 miles on this tune and I live in the mountains of TN here so theres no flat land coasting or much of being able to cost down hills as our mountains are literally up and down steep grades.

I don't see how yall are getting averages of 18+ mpg. Must really baby them things. Especially yall with the 6.2. Maybe it's because I tow a trailer almost daily and I run mine like it's a Corvette lol

I was able to get 18 when I babied the hell out of it. This was before I had the exhaust done. Once I had it done my city MPGs dropped by 2 lol. It's like once I had it sounding like a truck I slowly went back to how I used to drive, but still not as bad though. I tend to be the jackass beside a smart car or Prius and cruise right beside them and then almost floor it. When I was young I used to mess with everybody no matter what they were driving and I couldn't stand someone just passing me. Luckily I've grown up when it comes to driving, but most of it is from getting a CDL so I respect driving now.

No really babying it at all. Mostly 65-75 MPH driving. I think its how you jump on the throttle to accelerate. On my "hey i needa go fast" days I average 15.5 MPG but thats like flooring it at all lights and passing people hardcore weaving in and out of lanes.

I've been averaging 17.5 mpg lifetime, about 70% city driving and 30% interstate. 5.3 with 3.42 gears.

 

Also, today I gave her a spa day. Washed, detailed, waxed. Took me hours but it was well worth it. Of course it's dark and you can't see it, but I took a picture anyway :P

      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

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      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.
