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

Been raining here quite a bit this past week. Gave her a wash this morning then installed the tailgate letter inserts from BDTrims in matte black. I like how it finishes off the look of the tailgate. Dipped the emblems a few weeks ago.

Just installed the 95mm throttle body. No results yet just drove around let the computer relearn...

With no ability to tune, will a large throttle body yield any benefits?

Yes, more air equates to more power and the modification is not so substantial that the factory fuel mapping tables can't compensate.  The air fuel ratio will be slightly lean while the computer adjusts the fuel trims, but not dangerously so.

5.3 or 6.2 engine?  If 5.3, did you install a 6.2 intake as well?

More air would also mean more fuel since the computer will be commanding a proper AFR. If it's going to run lean then it isn't compensating by increasing the fuel for a stoich AFR. Is then questing whether or not the fuel rail and/or the fuel injectors can prevent heat soak of the last cylinder in line. Without a proper tune, and/or complete knowledge of the fuel system capabilities, is be concerned about running a larger throttle body. There's just a bunch I don't know about the current powertrain, and none of it is being discussed here. However, further discussion should have its own thread to avoid hijacking this thread. I'm interested in the mod, and the info. Hopefully you'll start a new thread.

It's the 6.2... If 5.3 you would need to install the 6.2 intake (L86)

I assumed the L87 intake, but I've read reports of the L86 working properly with the L84 engine with a little bit of effort.

Yes I'm sorry, I meant L87...

It will not run at optimum stoichiometric efficiency at first.  The s-trims will try to balance out the AFR first and the l-trims will adjust overtime as long as the range is within the factory set fuel maps.  Is it optimum, no, but it works.  Proper tuning will set your trims immediately and there will be no adjustment period, or rather an extremely short adjustment period.  Again though, with no tuning you will run slightly leaner at first, maybe a couple 10ths of an AFR value, but nowhere near dangerous levels and your computer will make slight adjustments as you drive it more.  Now, if you do major mods as well like full length headers, ORY, fab'd intake, etc., your computer will not be able to adjust accordingly and will most likely start throwing codes right out of the gate.

      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.
