Well, after Sunday evening, looks likes I may have to start my <$50 mods all over again.

We’re okay.  I have a broken foot, wife and kids have seatbelt bruises, wife sprained a couple knuckles, and son has a bruised rib or two from the left rear door (during the spin).  I was pinned at both feet, individually.  Left foot was pinned between the E brake and some floorboard, and my right foot was pinned between some floorboard and the center console.  Wife and kids (truely) walked away,, and I “walked away” on a stretcher.  

 

Now to see what insurance says.

My '15 Mod list was as follows:

- AM/FM Antenna DELETE

- ALL forward-facing white lights ON with HIGHs

- ALL rear-facing white lights ON with Reverse

- Puddle Lights ON with interior lights

--- Key removed from ignition

--- Truck UNLOCKED

--- Interior Lights set to ON

--- Any door opened

- Phone Holder - on dash, left of steering wheel

- Installed CB Radio & Scanner

--- Center Console

--- CB Antenna mounted on right forward stakehole

- 2”x12” Cargo Management Divider in bed

- Tow Hitch Tail/Brake Light

--- Mod’d to Brake Light ONLY

My '18 Mod list is (off to a slow start, but is) as follows:

- AM/FM Antenna DELETE

- ALL forward-facing white lights ON with HIGHs

- ALL rear-facing white lights ON with Reverse

 

Was about to do the Puddle lights ON with Doors open mod, but they already do that on their own.

- Puddle Lights ON with interior lights (This is the MOD, the rest is how it's triggered.)

--- Key removed from ignition

--- Truck UNLOCKED

--- Interior Lights set to ON

--- Any door opened

 

On my '15, if I would remove the key, the interior lights and puddle lights (with this mod) would come on.  Unlock the truck, interior/puddle lights come on.  Turn the interior lights ON, puddle lights come on too.  Open any door, interior/puddle lights come on.

Bought a new Tow Hitch Tail/Brake Light ($12), since my last one was busted up in the impound yard on my '15, mod'd it to only Brake Light, both tail & brake light elements light up when brake pedal is pressed.

Installed a Bully CR-007A Tail/Brake Light Hitch Cover, after I modified it to only be a Brake Light, like I had done with my '15.  Unfortunately, I had to add a 12" 4-wire extension to reach the 4-pin socket.  This little modification could have been as easy as just cutting the brown wire, but I wanted both elements in the bulb to light up when the brakes are applied.  Took a little bit of work, but I was able to get it done.  I'm going to rewrite the instructions and all in my photo album, soon.

Was it pretty secured in the lower position before you put in back in the CD slot? I have a tablet mounted below with a home made mount, and this looks like a better solution for me. I'd need it to hold a 7 inch tablet.

Did some budget rock lights.  Hooked it up to my factory upfitter switch I installed for the lightbars.

 

-9 $ worth of waterproof LEDs

-4 $ Waterproof Sleeves 

-3 $ Tube of silicone

-2 $ Stainless steel metal Ties.

-20 $ 18G wire

- 9 $ Waterproof connectors (so I can remove the wheel liners)

-7 $ Wire loom

 

Made the harnesses and ran them to the back but Holding off mounting the LEDs untill I order some rear liners since mine Didn't come with them from factory and I don't want to drill into the metal to mount them.

 

Pictures make them look much more blue than they actually are.

Are those the factory wheel liners? They look the same felt material that the fronts are made of.  I've been trying to get some people to post pics of them and the aftermarkets to compare how far they come down.  I was hoping they would drop down another few inches to cover up the frame.  Any chance you take a picture look up at the where the liner and box meet? Any chance of hiding a LED strip there without it showing the actual strips?

      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.

      "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!
