My son broke the faucet to the guest bathroom shower, last night. (OK, it broke when he was turning it off.) So, after work, this morning, I had to make a Home Depot (Tehachapi) run (grabbed a few other project needs while I was there), stopped at Love's Truck Stop (also in Tehachapi) for a CB antenna need, stopped by Jim's CB Shop/Radio Shack (Mojave, he's closing his doors after 45 years of service, CLEARANCE SALE!!!!, will officially close on 20 Oct), and rolled home to treat the spa, fix the shower, and put my CB officially together for use TONIGHT. (FINALLY!!!!) Tomorrow, I will wrap my CB & scanner in black foam, to keep CRAP from falling down around them.

Will post all of my install photos, after I'm done. May be Friday before I actually get to stuff foam around my radios. There's a couple CB threads with some photos of my install.

Finally got my flush mount pods mounted in my rear bumper. I'm waiting on my wireless switch to come in so I can hook em up. Hopefully that'll be here tomorrow so I can get em wired up before I have to go back to work. I think the left one is a little higher than the right one but oh well, it is what it is. I also switched out my license plate lights with 6k leds. 1fda592cd8b1cba9528d91c1b6e699a9.jpgae4fb40839594f3922ab352b3b7ec466.jpg

Thanks, I ordered them from Amazon.

I installed a set on a ram 3500 that I had. The first set was Ilight brand. They were ok, they let moisture in after about a month or so. These are offroadtown brand. I put black permatex around these to seal them off so hopefully they won't let any moisture in. The Ilight brand was 17 bucks and these were 38 I believe. Hopefully these will be worth the few extra bucks.

Added 2017 Denali wheels. OEM GM from China sadly :(. Had 4,000 miles on them AND came with TPMS... paid $1500. Also, did the diode jumpers for the fogs on with all headlight settings and cargo lights on with reverse lights.

    • 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.
