Nice touch, but I could see that getting old very quick. Many times I go outside to my truck to grab something I forgot to find my door is locked. My neighbors would hate me.

Ha ha yes that could happen.

I've done this mod on all my vehicles since I started driving, so I'm used to it and rarely forget to unlock.

This one was by far the most difficult.

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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

You won't see it in the maintenance schedule as technically, GM doesn't use "break-in" fluids as they once did. However, you will find a lot of owners do their first oil change (and other fluids) early just as personal preference. Personally, I don't put a lot of miles per year on my vehicles, so my first oil change was at 3,000 miles (I had my first 4 done at 6 month intervals, then switched to full synthetic, Mobile 1 and it will be one change annually). Now, I should also tell you that my dealer provides the first 4 oil changes during the first two years at whatever interval the customer desires and does not limit it by the OLM percentage.

You will hear as many opinions on this as there are drivers...

With all the bullshit I've been told from my dealer about oil changes I really don't know what or who to believe anymore. They told me to not go by the monitor, to come in at 7000k, and even if I go with fully synthetic oil, still come in at 7000k. I asked what the advantage of having fully synthetic is then, since I've heard you can go almost twice the distance on it, and he just told me longer engine life.

I run Mobil 1 EP (full syn) and change every 7500 miles. I do a lot more towing than most guys here and I'm hard on my truck so she deserves it lol

Ummmm ive got 3,000 miles on mine with no "break-in oil change" done. I see no mention in my manual either... should i be concerned here?

I wouldn't. I've done all my oil changes at 5000, including the first one.

Why not get some clear corners from Klearz and smoke them?

Installed a Truxedo Lo Pro QT tonneau cover today. Really easy install. Took an hour tops. From opening the box to taking the pic. My apologies for the pics. I'm keeping the truck in hibernation over the winter to keep some Wisconsin salt off.

 

Other completed mod/act are

Line-x platinum bed liner

Weather tech mats

Rust proofing

Undercoating

Fogs on w/ high beams

Installed a set of COB LEDs in my interior front footwell areas. Tied in to my dome light circuit so they come on with keyless remote and switch. Also fade out when turned off for a great effect. These lights are awesome. These are the same lights i used as puddle lights over my running boards (u can see those in pic 2) and cost less than $6 per pair shipped!

Smoothed and painted my mirrors and fender plastics. Never again. Lol. Don't want to see another piece of sand paper ever again.

      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.
