Can we get a regular cab thread going? Stock, lifted, lowered?

Nice! Put that bad boy in 4 wheel auto, and turn off the traction control. Then mash the go pedal and enjoy. You'll be surprised how well it pulls

Here's my truck after 60 miles of trails, it's a 2wd 2015. I'm putting Fox 2.0 shocks next week and thinking about what tires/rims to get.

Look like fun. What size are those tires? Personally I think they look good on your truck.

They're LT265/70R17, the stock on LS trim, thinking of just going 285/70R17 with a more aggresive off-road tire, even with the fox shocks i don't really want to risk it on rubbing.

Here's a crappy video I took of the exhaust...dont think it does the exhaust justice, but taking good audio is hard to do

 

 

 

 

I like it.....gives it a nice rumble, but nothing that would give you a headache out on the interstate.

You can honestly have a normal conversation without raising your voice at all at 75. You really only hear the exhaust while under acceleration

this is kind of a mid-installation pic. The bar now sits about 2" behind the cab and is wired properly

 

 

 

That is sharp, you know I had thought that new bar would look good on a regular cab !

 

Can't wait to see the finished pictures......Are you putting the LED's up top ?

I'm at a bit of a stand still actually. The GM "Off Road Fog Lamps" mount one LED lamp on each side of the bar, which I'm really not a fan of, BUT they come with a GM wire harness that connects to an included factory light button replacement that has makes really nice factory look and function without some toggle switch by my foot or whathaveyou. For the money, I can just have a full length third party LED that would be way better. For the time being I think I'm going to stick with it as-is, it looks nice and slick without one, but I will cave soon enough I'm sure,there is also an LED behind the grill. It has a level in the front, 275/55/20 BFG all terrains, removed the air dam, added the sport bar, not much to it really.

also, really debating on replacing the chrome sierra badges on the side with all terrain badges. Dont want to be too big of a flame about the truck, but it says Sierra twice on the side, and the red sierra on the bar isn't something I feel can be really improved on, and the red and chrome on the AT badges would kind of work with the the colors and idea of the truck.

I can't say that I blame you, I know those factory LED's are high priced....and it does look good just like it is too.

It's a shame they don't have a option to get different words wrote on the roll bar.....or no words at all.

 

The AT badges are good looking, you're right !

If I was single I'd get the 4x4 Z71 regular cab with the light bar. I like how that looks!

      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.
