I forget what trim level you have.  Are those the power mirrors?  If so, set them to fold automatically on lock in the infotainment system.  That's super handy.

LT with power folding mirrors. Completely forgot that was an option. Thanks for the reminder!

I second that "great advice" and will be checking that option in my 2023 LTZ first thing tomorrow morning. 

Good thing he was right there when it happened as most people today would just pull away an take the chance on nobody seeing it.

Thanks for the tips!

The guy that hit me admitted he would have just driven off. Didn't think it was "that bad."

Quick update: I called my stealership parts department this morning. Had them send me the invoice with part # and price. $809.98 for the whole mirror. Online gm parts stores are $480ish. 

 

I called the guy to let him know. No answer. 15 minutes later he called back and we chatted. Told him the cost of the mirror and he couldn't believe it. So, I sent him the invoice and part # and told him so long as it's oem and the same part number, I don't care where you get it! He said great and asked if he could get this figured out the first of the year after Christmas. I said absolutely and Merry Christmas brother. 🎅 

 

🤞 he ponies up!

My trucks seats are no ordinary fabric. They are tufted from king kongs chest hair. Very manly vehicle. Only the PE model has this. 
also with rubber floors, no issues with proper dirty work boots. Carpeted floors are great to coddle high heels lmao

My truck is a Z-66. That’s like a couple of Z-28s with some to spare. So it’s twice as fast. It’s old and aged like fine wine, just like its driver. 🤠

had mirror on 2019 wiped out in first week on RST, was like $800 replaced at dealer

 

had power folding on new 2500 and also not had them, it is pretty sweet to have as they do sick out a bit.....I never thought mirrors would be such a big deal but turns out it kinda is where I live

      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.
