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.

Got rough country light bar kit installed even with my grille shutters. Just finished my switch writing this morning so will test the light out tonight. Happy with the end results! 4ddc65a51a536f6d47e0b75856f84f1a.jpgb9805d1a5b90845f650a827c6994c0eb.jpgc17f89d8e4b5a36c14f50bbb205b1342.jpg

Oil/filter and plugs. By way, for anyone interested, Walmart has the Mobil1 0w-20 5qt jugs for $22. Also, Advance Auto is offering a $3 rebate per plug if you buy 4 or more.

I only buy my oil from Wally World. Nobody else sells Dexos cheaper. It should be illegal for places like Oreillys to sell it so high.

75k on my ‘14 Z-71 and have yet to do one. I check the fluid every oil change and it’s still nice and red and doesn’t smell burnt. I may consider a flush/fill when I hit 100k. My truck is 50/50 city/highway miles.

Rides 10 times better wish I would’ve done this earlier


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Mine came with the factory Rancho’s and rides like a dream. So I wonder how much better of a ride I could get with new shocks myself?

Followed the church buses to youth camp going 55-65 mph for 5 hours with one stop. Got 29.3 mpg on the trip. That’s crazy to me with a bed full of stuff and 3 people in it.

I have 73k, bought 800 miles ago. Within a week I replaced diff, transfer case, and trans fluids/filter.  Original trans fluid was brown, but not burnt.  Magnet didn’t have any more shavings than I’d expect at my mileage.  I personally won’t do a true flush (reverse, or with cleaning agent) and don’t feel like disconnecting the cooler lines to pump out/in, especially with that mileage; however, I do a slow mix-over by draining/filling every few hundred miles for 1000 miles or so, and get the fluid cherry red again. It’s not a perfectly complete fluid swap but close. I’ve rehabbed 150k mile transmissions with metal mountains on their magnets this way with great results, so that’s what I’ll be doing. I did drill a hole in my pan and weld a home-made castle nut inside to accept a drain plug, though, because the exhaust is a PIA.

So I did a few things to the trucks first off I did the mod of getting the cargo lights to come on when I reverse and I got this message 86228c2bb0ae9b12044e59df8bdd0e2f.jpg

Next I got a leather dash hump for the black truck

I'd go completely insane driving anywhere, following anything for 5 hours at 55-65mph! ?

Never posted Pictures of my truck, so here's a few. 

 

Recently did the Denali Cluster, Amp powersteps, hellwig bars and Falken Wildpeak AT3's. Waiting on the 6112's to come in.

      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.
