Does this guy have a website or something showing what's in the kit? 

 

I was wondering the same thing.

 

If he's not available, does anyone have a rough idea as to what the glass cutting costs and how much actuslly gets cut? 

 

Rear defroster works?

The gm unit has a tiny window.  I do trim work on houses and sometimes need to carry 16 to 20 ft trim. With a sliding glass, I can wrap a towel on the front and lay it on the dash.  I'm interested in

That's a lot of money on a mod that rewards you with more room for your dog to stick his head in the cab and drool on your seats.

He hit me back and sells the kits on eBay. 

 

Super responsive and so far, pretty solid. 

 

Looks like the kit, ready to install, is around $1000, which seems pretty reasonable.

That's great news. When I talked to him last he didn't have them on ebay. Also he seems like a pretty good dude. He has a YouTube channel too. I'll see if I can find it again. 

 

Here it is

Do not buy that kit online. The metal is so thin. Go to a local weld shop and have them bend you a pan. I'm out 300 plus dollars. I tried to message him but doesnt get back to you. 

Can you elaborate more on why this is a problem? It's a cover for rain water and the window track to go in. Why does it need to be industrial strength?

The tabs were way off that he puts on were way off.  They were not even close to being where they needed to be.  When you mount the motor and regulator. It has enough force to flex the pan. Super thin metal. Ill give you the measurements of what ya need. I'm just trying to look out for everyone. If I am paying that kind of money. I don't want something made outta cheap materials.

Any chance you have some pictures? (I'm not sure how it mounts and drains)

 

My question, more than anything, is "what does it take to make the glass fit?" 

 

It seems the parts are fairly inexpensive and readily available, so if I can do it for 500 bucks instead of $1000, I'd much rather do it myself. 

 

Sidebar: is anyone using the factory slider switch or does this require an aftermarket switch exclusively?

I took a switch out of a avalanche and plastic welded it to my factory ceiling console so it looks factory.  When I get my day off on Sunday I'll send pictures and what not.

 

I ended up going with using the bolts on the factory window. Cut out the inner part of the cab. Cleaned it up and under coated it. 

 

Like I said before I'm just trying to help everyone out and not get rich off of this stuff that anyone can make or have made.

You can use your factory switch. I believe the titan window is $600 on its own.

Most definitely we are interested.

I see the windows on ebay from time to time for closer to 200. (not sure how complete that is, though.) 

 

I'd really like to see how it all goes together before I start ordering parts, though.

There is lots of videos on YouTube from several different people doing it.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
