The scam is: I want to buy your truck I can have my brother in law to pay for it, he is in your town closing up a deal for me. Problem is that my customer gave him a check for ****** many dollars, can you deposit it, wait for it to clear, then give him your personal check for the balance and keep $500 for the trouble, I trust you. Then just give him the truck and we are all good. The bank will clear the check because you are a good customer, but they find out the check is bogus and take the money out of your account (yes, its legal) and you are screwed. If you feel any hint of discomfort now you will feel more discomfort when you find out what happened.

High Desert Bed System Removal
lovecars replied to DJ Pepe's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Can you tell me what is composed off? -
I'm really tired to come to this forum and help out, and post, with countless popups, hidden, impossible to close,etc. I think if you need more money then ask us the subscribers or ask companies that sell to members here. So far I think this is impossible to tolerate. Hope you guys make millions on the subscribers to your site. Thanks for your time. Ernest Aguilar

Routing Aux wires through headliner
lovecars replied to TheFozzmanCometh's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Solid wire is never recommended for automotive uses. the vibration will break the wire and therefore leading to a short circuit and worse things. The wire shown in the pictures that you are using can handle more than 20 amps at 12V. That is way overkill. Hopefully you are using an LED roof lamp that will not require more than 4 amps. Therefore requiring a 16ga automotive wire. There are methods to use for a safe and durable installation. those include... use existing wire installation through the body, this will minimize any problems with short circuits. Low amperage wires to control the relay, 16ga wires as short as possible to attach to battery, for the relay you will need a ground which would be a great spot to grab ground for the light. Make sure everything is fuse protected. Forgot, any wire that passes through a body metal hole has to be inserted through a isolating grommet. -

No it's just the schematic, with no other info I can count all wires going into the ECM. And I can see that all those signals go to the display. But if there is a problem with for instance with the engine temp it goes to the ECM and then sends the info to the display So the first thing to see is the back of the display. Search you tube for a guy installing a Denali instrument panel and he shows how to get to it to remove it... if I find the type of connector and the wires I can give more info. If you are used to working on old cars these are totally different and what you think can go wrong it's not. All wiring on these trucks handle network wiring that send signals to and from to modules to do the work, if the module returns a fail then the computer either will try again or set a code. The trucks from 2224 and up will use ethernet network like all of office or home computers. There is a reason why, but I can write a.book about it...

If the instrument panel is the only problem and everything else is fine. the truck runs, windows work, headlights work running lights work, etc... Then I would remove the instrument panel and check the connector, If I'm not wrong is just one connector that goes to the ECM, so there are not to many problems to check. I just looked at the GM schematic and it does show just one direct connector to the ECM

2017 chevy 1500 vibration and jumping?
lovecars replied to Brooke's topic in 2014 - 2019 Silverado & Sierra
You just might need to check your OBD2 codes. I think your throttle sensor might be the culprit. Throttle by wire. Etc... -
Why not talk to the seller and or the manufacturer of this bar and find out how to hook it up where you want to? I personally would not connect to the factory fog lamps because they are engineered to provide a wide beam closer to the truck where you need it. Versus the LED bar on the bull bar that provides a wide (mostly straight) at a longer distance. I would not run both as I think they would be unsafe and the bull bar LED bar would blind other drivers. You can wire it to a switch inside the passenger compartment, then you can turn it on as needed.

More than likely they are vinyl stripes with clearcoat over them.

LED Tail Light Bulb Questions
lovecars replied to Neroado's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
Yoiur truck doesn't have an external flasher. The body computer handles that. You need to install resistors in order to not get warnings when you start the truck. I installed Sylvania bulbs on my 2017, they are kind of weird looking but they work by directing the light to the sides instead of straight out, this way you get better dispersion of the light. Thay are very bright. Another way is to change the programming in the truck so it ignores the lack of regulare bulbs. First responser equipped trucks have that from the factory, but an upfitter can do that programming. Most dealers do not even know about this setting and I havve a Tech 3 to access the computers but the new ones have to be called in to a central GM rep that must give you a passcode to enter in the computer to turn that feature. -

lovecars replied to MIKE-HKS's topic in 2014-2018 Silverado & Sierra Mods
problem is if you live in the great state of Kalifornia you can't get one delivered here and the new cars will tell the computer at time of smog check that a tuner had been installed and removed.... talking about Big Brother -
