You're probably hoping for something cool, but in reality...  It's just an extension cord in through the back door, plugged into the dash.  

Haha that was my guess. Cord through the rear slider.

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.

Glad to hear. I’ll be changing the brakes myself soon for the first time on the truck and on any vehicle for that matter

This guy has a pretty good video. He gets lucky and his caliper mounting bolts come out easy. You may have to hold the hex sides of the slide so you can loosen the caliper mounting bolts, 2 of them. There are also 2 mounting bolts for the caliper brackets that have to be taken off to remove the rotor. He has a pretty good video. Prior to installing the rotor, be sure to clean the rotor surfaces with some kind of cleaner, he does not mention this in his video.

Had to paint.  First I had to obtain parts that had been painted/primed already.  Then sent them off to get painted.  Finally reinstalled.

 

I'll get a good picture in the sun in a couple days.  Deep Ocean Blue Metallic.

Did you ever compare the light output between the hid and led?  or were you too excited to get the leds installed and forgot?  lol

You caught me there, I did not. 

 

I do know the HIDs are supposed to put out more light, but it definitely feels like the LEDs are a LOT brighter.

 

If you didn't want to do the LTZ headlight upgrade, you could always buy a set of Morimoto D5S bulbs to swap out for more light output/better color.

Factory leds put out more light than the factory hids

Got rid of some random deep scratches on hood probably inflicted by my neighbors kitty.  Used a new GG Orbital Polisher I bought with Meguiars 105.  Once scratches were removed topped area with a coat of Pinnacle Souveran Wax.

What’s the part number for this?  I really need to get those swapped out for me. I’m shorter so it would help me out getting in

I added amp steps and finished my sub/amp install this past weekend. Now that I've read more of these threads I've added the interior led lights and driver entry handle to my "to do" list.  All for my new to me 15.  

 

The amp install wasn't very bad at all.  Pretty straight forward.  I soldered all connections vs using their crimp's so that slowed me down just a tad.  Also wrapped any bare wires with oem cloth heat proof tape.  Made for a very nice install.  

 

The sub/amp was a lot more of a pita.  Getting the LC2i dialed in was interesting.  It's all installed on my back wall behind the oem sound proofing (with a section removed for air flow).  I used a sheet of abs plastic with bolts running through the back of it to mount the amp/lc2i to and then double side taped that to the back wall.  No holes to drill or anything.  I used the back bolt on the jack mount to ground everything too (after some sand paper rubbing).  Overall a very clean install with only the box showing.  I did run a remote turn on using the under dash koeo loction in the left side of the plug banks.  That solved a lot of my issues with not turning on/off correctly on the lc2i.

      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

      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.
