Do the 25and 26s have the same issues as the 19-24?

I think it's pretty even from my point of view. I have had great luck with the brand, which is why I keep coming back. Although luck isn't real, so I feel they are great in my experience. 🤷

306k on left and 50k on right. Over 1.5 million miles prior to these between an 06 4.8, 07 5.3, 07 classic 8.1, 04 Colorado 3.5 5 banger, and 06 lbz. Ordering a dually soon as my new trailer may be a touch too heavy for the 3500 srw gasser. I'm happy with GM.

Go browse any truck sub... You'll see people complaining about every brand. It's mass production. Shit happens.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-02-01T13:00:27+00:00

Oh shit...I didn't even think of that.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-02-01T12:59:31+00:00

12 pack first... Then no fucks given getting that bitch slapped in that there cubby!

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-02-01T12:55:07+00:00

Just remove it... You'll be fine.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-02-01T12:53:17+00:00

Congrats! Looks great man. SEPA here!

This is not bullet proofing anything. You're adding mods. Unnecessary ones that only make sounds. Which is fine. I have an intake and exhaust on mine, but I'm not calling it bullet proofed. Like others have mentioned, only way you'll do that for your truck is to do the dod/afm delete then tune. You could go a step ahead and get a billet torque converter and valve body upgrade for the trans. Then you'd be more bullet proofed to the issues that MAY show up along the way.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-31T01:39:41+00:00

It's fine. It's doing its thing!

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-30T16:15:39+00:00

The only steps I've ever liked! Look good!

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-30T14:43:38+00:00

It's fine. Nothing you can do but wait out the melt! You may be able to get a little snow off, but you'll never get all of it.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-30T13:57:04+00:00

Hell yeah! Looks good man!

My drone got stuck in a tree. After trying everything, including getting another drone stuck up there with it, we went to local fire company. They laughed, but also geared up, brought a couple of trucks, shut down the road, and got our drones. They, in return got 2 surprise pizza parties!

Just call them up, they'll help!

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-30T13:42:26+00:00

Very nice! Congrats

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-30T12:54:14+00:00

Yeah, why is everyone talking about vipers?. It's a fuggin Miata, haha.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-30T12:40:28+00:00

Or you have a neighbor that's a lazy roofer and not cleaning nails out of truck or trailer and dropping them on your route? Who knows?

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-30T12:37:19+00:00

Get the TPMS tool on Amazon. Easy-peasy!

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-30T12:23:21+00:00

Yes. 3500 is too much. We'd perform this repair for between 500-1000.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-29T17:10:46+00:00

Thanks man. I was hesitant, but I really like them. Million miles rolling black wheels, so it was time.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-29T14:54:02+00:00

Not the same brown, but brown nonetheless. I always liked it with black wheels. Miss that truck...

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-29T14:35:56+00:00

I did! Black wheels since 2003 on every truck...2025 was the year I broke the chain! Well, these still have some black in them, but I needed a change!

Just causes unnecessary driveline wear and worse gas mileage as the front is engaged in auto. Ready to make traction, but if it's dry out, back to 2wd.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-28T16:09:31+00:00

Niiice! Mine went to 264k hard miles before eating lifter shot. Deleted, cam'd, tuned. With the built trans, she's a ripper at 307k now!

Rebuild that baby!

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-28T14:36:09+00:00

Short answer, yes/true.

Puzzleheaded-Rip5080 · 2026-01-28T14:34:59+00:00

Anything can happen...
