Dropped the GM cold air intake into my RST this morning. Didn’t even take an hour. ??
 

I debated between the GM CAI or the Rotofab. I went with the GM for its native design, and am happy I did. The install was super easy. 
 

About to leave for the dealer to have my catback exhaust installed! Can’t wait to hear the total difference in a few hours. ???24B085FC-BE45-4ADB-B552-7F43C4C78752.thumb.jpeg.1065b5c11bd65ae343ea1e436bac6330.jpeg

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

Nice! You have the 5.3? How did the CAI change the sound from inside the cab?

Yes, I have the 5.3L. 
 

Honestly, I don’t think the average person would even notice a sound difference. Listening for it, you can hear a deeper growl under acceleration, but you really have to be tuned in to hear it. 
 

I think the sound note is most noticeable with an exhaust package. So far with the stock exhaust, it’s hard to really notice it. IMO.

Do you have a mesh cover over the grill? Or is that part of your bumper guard? Been trying to find a mesh cover I can put on when I drive from SLC to Vegas because the bugs are a magnet to my white truck lol!

It’s part of the Grille Guard. It’s a Westin HDX. it just protects the radiator from anything crazy like a bird or a cleat from a big rig

All good but I actually found that armoralls tire shine is far better although I also added outlast break dust repellent over it and has lasted 4 weeks I was only get about a week with meguires ultimate tire shine so curious if the break dust would work over meguiars as well

BFG KO2 35x12.50/17 on a 4.51 backspace with -6 offset. I also have icon 2.5 extended travel coil overs set at 2.25” lift with their tubular UCA with delta joint. I had to remove the mudflap bracket and cut a bit of plastic. Nothing crazy. I have a rub at full lock when hitting a bump or a curb. Other than that I think they looks sweet and they ride awesome.

      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.
