I have a 2017 Silverado 3500 duramax. I am having a problem with my 4g LTE wifi and read that I should try taking the Onstar fuse out and put it back in. Where is the Onstar fuse located?

3500 Duramax Midnight Edition

Awesome I think I'll just go with the 4.10 gears then. How much did it cost for the parts and labour?

Yeah the trailer has trailer brakes. How much more sway do you think i would get with the lifted truck? Right now the truck pulls the trailer just fine, i did a big trip with a few friends from Canada through Idaho, Utah, Vegas, Southern California. Drove over 8000 kms. Had no problems, drove in all different weather conditions and terrain.

I just got off the phone with one of the shops in my area and they said its no problem to change the gears, except for the fact that they want $3800 to do it. Seems ridiculously high to me.

i would also be interested in hearing what other people have to say about this.

The trailer weighs around 7500 pounds loaded. Usually tow it on the weekends when camping.

Yeah it looks like I'm gonna get the 4.56 gears. Anybody have a reccomendation on where to purchase?

from what i understand, a basic method to find out what your new gear ratio should be is: new tire size x old gear ratio divided by old tire size = new gear ratio and i believe the midnight editions come with a 32 inch tire if I'm not mistaking. i was also told, that instead of using your existing gear ratio, use the best available option that you could have got from chevrolet. so that would be the max towing package gear ratio of 3.73 . So i would be substituting my 3.42 for the max towing package of 3.73 in the equation. So my equation would look like this : 35 x 3.73 ------------ = 4.0796875 32 so it looks like my optimal gear ratio should be 4.07... but if I'm wrong let me know.

Was looking into getting the 7-9" inch lift kit from Mcgaughys and putting some 35" tires on. I want to regear the truck and was wondering what recommendations people would have. Keep in mind I'm still gonna want to tow a trailer with the truck. Currently the truck is a 2015 1500 Silverado Midnight Edition. Crew cab, Short Box, 4WD, 3.42 rear axle ratio Thanks Josh.
