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.

I'm not really feeling it...

The thing is the middle chrome trim around the headlights would just stop so it wouldn't look right. I think for that to look right would be if you plastidipped the whole chrome grille surround and the chrome on the headlights.

Looks horrible, it needs to be all or nothing.

I agree it looks rough if it just stops at the headlights which is the problem I have with the aftermarket grilles that I've seen and the reason I don't want to do the whole thing is I'm afraid it will look like the lower trim levels. Thanks guys. Back to the drawing board...

Paint match the front end. If you take the pieces off it only be a few hundred bucks.

Ok so your first rendering didn't work out, no worries, I thought about it and have an idea that may spark something for you. If you want black but don't want it to appear cheap like a work truck or lesser trim level I was thinking color match the bumper in that awesome red and black chrome the grille and headlight surrounds. Of course color match the rear bumper as well. But if you're not completely stuck on plasti dipping I think it would look sick and would give you the black look without looking like a downgrade

That would look really good and be one of kind. Black chrome would be easy since he already has chrome. So they would just spray a black top coat and clear and you'd see the chrome shine through. Great idea.

I'd vote for color match.

Yeah if this doesn't work out I'm definitely gonna color match it. Maybe leave the grille chrome like the high country

I actually want to keep the chrome around the grille and headlights. I just want to get rid of the chrome bumpers. Well my idea would be to have them black chrome so it color matches and has the chrome look and durability.

      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.
