I got one side almost done. It’s great compared to my PnP hid kit.

Let's see a before & after...
Since I noticed some moisture in my housing, I've been considering this upgrade.

I upgraded my tail lights last year and here's the best I can find of before and after. Wish I took a side by side comparison but you can get the idea. I had my new tail lights professionally tinted to a medium tint before install as well.f1d2669a09109b99ce7f8e49e5bf3cf7.jpgb766fe83384d5dd1257fe630a7cf3299.jpgae14a64b2b64313f228225eaa0a0c96e.jpg

Not me. I got a hell of a deal on these from PA.

Yeah they are the LTZ lights. And yes, there is a local tint shop down the street from me and he sprayed them with a high quality tint and then put an automotive grade clear coat over that. No rattle can stuff. I had them mask off the reverse lights (and cargo light on the high mount) so i didn't loose and light output when backing up and because I liked the looks of it that way better personally

Truck is still in storage, so sick of winter but I finally pulled the trigger on wheels & tires and they just showed up this week. 

 

Went with the new KMC KM712 Prism Truck in brushed silver, 22x9.5 and 285/40R22 Nitto 420S 

 

They actually have a slight concave that doesn't really show in photos and the finish on them is wicked

 

I also got some 90's GM N90 wheel centre caps gel stickers made up for them that should set them off really nicely. If not, I'll get some gold bowtie ones made.

Great turnout... I had a paint shop do the same on my Avalanche years ago. I left the reverse unpainted and it really made them stick out!

On a 9.5 22 why not a wider tire?

I'm on a 4/7 drop and rub a lot with the stock 32" tall tires - I'm still going to rub with this set up (31" tall) and didn't feel the need/want to go to a 295 or 305

Put the Air Force badge on my engine cover...I’ll look for one that fits better but it better than the Cadillac emblem!

I'll be doing this very shortly as well.. I'll post up a picture of one on each side if that's possible with the wiring. If not, I will at least have a before and after picture for you.

Sorry about that. I don’t have a before, but I’ll try to get a pic of high country tails. 

 

Today i I went from DL3s to DQS mirrors and threw new front door speakers in for good measure. DQS mirrors are a huge difference compared to DL3s.

Good old Warthog :thumbs: When I worked them in England, we went to Turkey for the war. Had some tee-shirts made, the motto was:

Penetrate deeper...

    • 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.
