Doesn't matter as it isn't what he asked for. He just asked for miles and hours. Let is be. PLEASE!

Sorry, my comment was entirely light-hearted in intent and not intended to take away from the topic at hand.  I have low miles and will check my hours but I can imagine they will comparatively high as I spend a lot of time at idle!  Others were calculating overall mph averages so I don't believe I was too far off topic.

I understand. Thing is this topic comes and goes and always someone feels obligated to step on it. No use chumming for sharks if sharks aren't what your fishing for, eh?

When I bought my truck 3 years ago, it was at 189k km and 340 hours, so I win on average speed...

198,000 kilometer/340hours=555 kilometers per hour or 345 MPH. I am a little skeptical or maybe my math or your numbers are wrong.

Well, your first number is different than the one in my post, but the hrs on gmt-800s are known to reset if the conditions are right (I have no idea what those conditions are).

You are correct. I put 198000 when you have 189000 km at 340 hours.

900.3 Hrs / 35294 on my 2017.  

 

What that means, is I drive WAY too far to work.  This is in 1 year and a few days of ownership...  :sleep:

Not 100% sure on this. Not even anywhere close to my chevy in my sig. but she does see roughly hr and a half or less of idling per day depending on how cold it is at work. I would love to know what my idle hrs are 

 

but hrs are mid 700’s

miles 24k ish miles

    • 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  
    • 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.
