Wait...are you talking the 5ft8in box?  They've never done that on a regular cab.  I might have misunderstood your reply.  

 

RCSB = Regular Cab "short"/"standard" box (6ft6in box).  

 

RCLB = Regular Cab Long Box (8ft box).  

 

Out of habit I guess I've always referred to the RCSB as a short box but technically yes its the standard box.  Ram never made a 5ft box regular cab either.  Just the standard 6ft 4in box or the 8ft box.  

You are correct - I was mistaken.  I'll have to see on my neighbors truck.  You're probably right, but it does look rather short.

Love it!   Reg Cab guys are a small minority. Most available trucks will be white, black or silver.   Mine has been perfect so far. But I haul more stuff than people. Reg Cab/Stand

So.  Get this.  On the Chevy regular cab, you can get the factory remote start at the dealer from the accessories catalog.  BUT.  GMC, you can't.   Now...get this...GMC 2 door, you CAN get t

I bought it today and brought it home. They still owe me the bed liner, remote start, and they also agreed to get me the flat black bumpers to replace the optional chromes ones. While some folks may think I'm crazy, I think they'll look a lot better with all the other black stuff. Blacked out grill, mirrors, running boards, dark essentials Chevy tailgate lettering along with the black Silverado and Turbomax emblems. I do want to replace the dark essentials front grill bowtie with the base level gold one. The 2.7 4 seems to run well and push a 1500 along just fine :).

PS: Here's a pic of the 2014 wheels I'd like to run when it's not winter. Toyo 285/60 x 18 Proxes ST III tires. Nice wide tire, sporty look. Stuck my finger around new wheel caliper setup. Very little clearance. I suspect these won't fit, but won't know for sure till I try.

 

Edit: And my first mod. Stubby antenna from the old truck.

Not surprised, but hugely disappointing. My 2014 wheels don't clear the 2026 calipers.

They will fit with a spacer to clear but I know many people don't like that.

Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

 I was a little surprised this morning when a third local dealer, one I've never really done any business with, showed some interest and follow through to the point that I've ordered my build for a new 2026, std cab/std bed :). 

Awesome! Congratulations!!!

Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.

I just bought a 2026 regular cab, long box WT 1500 with the 5.3, 4WD and trailering package this past Friday -- I didn't want any other options.

 

GM has $6,000 off right now, so it seems like a good time to buy. I searched 150 miles from my house on Chevy's website and there were 10 in black or red. (I didn't want white.) I bought a black one.

 

I told my wife that I have more motorcycles than friends, so why the heck would I want an extended cab? Other people might have different priorities.

 Feel free to expand on that. Considering .375" BORA spacers and extended lug nuts.

A 5mm slip on spacer is no big deal. I run them with my summer aftermarket 20" wheels. There's a LOT of thread still. It's not like you only have 3 or 4 turns of the lug. Been running this setup every summer for the past 5 years with no issues. I run true spacer/adapters in the winter with the stock wheels. 2" spacers that bolt on to the stock lugs and wheels bolt on to the lugs on the spacers. Again, 5 years with no issues.

They put more strain on your suspension components basically and if not installed correctly have potential of completely failing (breaking off the studs). This is just what I’ve read for years on forums and what I found from a simply google search.

The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge.

You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there :)

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
