It is a good product. It is UV resistant.

 

I will let you read the reviews but I have been using it for a few years and I am happy with it.

I'll have to look at the front skid plate closer. But from what I can see the tow hook is fine.

Ok well if the skid plate and tow hook valence aren't damaged I'll buy those from you

I use aerospace 303 as well. You can get it on anazon. Works excellent to keep black plastics looking new. Great for vinyl tonno covers as well. I learned about it from a jeep forum - kept my soft top looking brand new.

Got to haul our empty 16' utility trailer around to drop off some material at a job site.

Every time someone says to use e85 when towing just show them this post.

Hand calculated 11.07 mpg on e85. Towing an empty utility trailer for 264 miles, only actually towed any weight for less than four miles. With a loaded trailer I would be hard pressed to believe I would even touch double digits. While there was undoubtedly more power available the poor range just makes it impossible to continuously run e85.

 

On 93/91 I would of gotten ~17.5mpg on the highway with an empty trailer easy.

Finally had some time to work on my front end project.

I get like 14mpg with my empty utility trailer (16'). Average 11mpg loaded down. I also drive it like I stole it so I'm sure that doesn't help

Even light output with sharp cutoff using stock projectors and adjustable offset LEDs!!

You mean this button? lol Surprising enough because of all the holes in the octopus it doesn't block very much light bar light.

Anyone know what colour wire the dome lights might be? I'm hoping to tap into it so I can add some lighting for when I open the doors. This is the best I could find, and I'm still a little confused.

NitroDatsik? You're kinda the lighting guy, maybe you can help me out. Thanks.

    • 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  
    • 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.
