Look's good
What size and load range are they? Looks real good. Wish I had a better experience with the Duratracs because they are a great looking tire.

2016 8spd... yeah i'm waiting for a call back now.. had it since last wed~.. grrr.. but they did give me a 2018 6spd with the same shitty shifts.. 

well got the truck back!... after 2 weeks!.. so to fix the harsh shifting i was having in 1-2, and downshifts 2-1 (clunk).. was a TPM /BCM reflash.. as far as the hesitation around 50-60, they flushed the trans.. new fluids and filters... ..so we'll see.. i know all my presets were jacked!! ... i'll need to drive it a few days to see how its acting...

Got the sunstrip on yesterday and picked up my flow master American thunder exhaust that depending on the snow storm tomorrow here in CT, it will be installed ??

Added a beacon to my truck. I decided if I was going to do it I was going to do it right. 

I hid the controller so I don't have to look at it when I am not using it. I also mounted the light in such a way that I can unhook it and pop it off the truck in a few minutes when spring comes. 

Funny thing is I just did an 800-mile road trip and this light cost me about 1.5 MPG!

 License plate LED lights were not as bright anymore.  Replaced  with Philips LEDs. Here are some pictures. 20180307_002337.thumb.jpg.fe4516437a4eeeeac3e32285615ce6f7.jpg

In my experience those Phillips ones are the best!

New skins are always a pleasure.  Resets traction and noise expectations.

Reolaced my IOB 7" with the Alpine x110-slv 10" Restyle kit and added the leather steering wheel with radio controls. Drag is the steering wheel controls didn't work with the idatalink Maestro as I was told by the Alpine tech so I still have to change the BCM.

You are spot on with that. Taking turns is a new sensation again.

Pretty sure GMC and Chevy are both blue now. If your truck was/is compatible with the red clusters though, you’ll probably have to buy a new truck to swap a new blue one in lol.

Must have changed it in 2018 models then. I’ll start looking down the road here. To many  projects I’m in the middle of now

    • 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. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
