Start small and work up from there.  Didn't love the white showing through the Z71 blacked out with PD.  It's the first time I've used PD and probably wouldn't use it anywhere else but really great for this mod.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Installed the husky wheel well liners and Westin R7 step bars. The steps may have taken longer but those liners were a POSSSSS to fight with! Had gotten the bars to protect the doors but I think they sit too low, luckily they paid for themselves today when my 87 year old grandmother needed to get in.

Was it worth the price? Is the sound noticeable? Cheapest I'm finding is 550 

I used my Chevy gm point and was able to get it for 400. So at that price it’s was a no brainer to get compared to the rest of the CAI, definitely the best looking one too IMO. The sound is noticeable when you apply medium or more acceleration, mostly accelerating from a dead stop. You won’t hear it ever just cruising. Performance side,  I haven’t noticed to much. But I still have to bring it in To get the ECU flashed. Shifting has changed since I put it in so hopefully the flash helps with smoothing it out .

Do they flash the ECM for the CAI or the performance exhaust?

The CAI gets the reflash. Just a different MAF calibration.

Is that free from the dealer after you’ve installed the intake yourself?

The CAI comes with a voucher to get it done at the dealership.

any fitment issues with the BAK tonneAU cover, Ive been looking at this one and the Gator HR1 Tonneau. Some of the reviews were people complaining on fitment issues with the new silverados/sierras

I had a local shop install it for me, but what I've noticed so far is the tailgate won't always open, sometimes it gets stuck ?

Loosen the clamps on the rails, and the bolts on the front. Then manually close the tailgate. It’ll push the cover forward into the correct position to stop interfering with the gate. I’ve had the same cover since Feb, no issues going down or power up even.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Took down a tree in the back yard and hauled it to my brush pile. This bed is huge. You can fit a lot more in there that you would think!

      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

      By bwiese · Posted

      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.
