Was the install difficult? Was wiring painless? Source for the lights? Sent from the demons in my head

Are your factory lights spoken for? I have a 2107 Sierra Base with plastic fillers where there should be fog lights. Looking to put something brighter than nothing in those holes. Sent from the demons in my head

Perfect, thanks guys. Now for the parts list. I'll have to go investigate what it will take to make this happen on my 2017 6.0 2500HD Sierra Base. Sent from the demons in my head

Wait, doesn't the gas 6.0 have an Allison transmission? I assume you're comparing gas to diesel trans coolers right? Because comparing Allison to gas doesn't make sense unless, and this is entirely possible, maybe I'm confused. I might need to look over your shoulder for a parts list. I like this!

Not sure about the 2018 as I have cloth in my truck. My 2006 Suburban with leather did the same thing you describe. I took the Suburban to a local upholstery shop and they said yep, they all do that. They were able to replace the bottom side of the driver's seat for not a lot of $. I didn't mess with the sides of the back, they weren't so bad on mine until years later. Good luck getting it covered under warranty! In years past I've seen Volvo warranty seat and door upholstery but never GM Sent from the demons in my head

June 2019 I bought a 2017 certified pre owned Sierra 2500HD gas and love it. This was a good compromise between new, and used with high mileage and no warranty. Less $ than new but with warranty, dealer and factory support if I need it. Ram is making an overall good product and many like their interior better. They may take the lead in variety of storage spaces hidden throughout the truck too. Overall longevity is likely not as good but you already acknowledged this in your resale comments.

I don't think any of them power extend but you can select options for the forward facing lights, having both upper and lower mirrors heated, etc. I configured a pair the way I would want them and it came to about a grand. I don't need them that badly! Sent from the demons in my head

My previous 6.0 in an older generation truck gave me codes at high RPM with the K & N filter and cold air intake even though they promise it will not. Put the stock airbox back, no more codes in the same predictable situations (towing uphill) that K & N always gave me codes on. I will be looking for a cold air intake for the 2017 truck but will only use a dry filter. I'll probably go with AFE GM Silverado HD/Sierra HD 16-17 V8-6.0L w/ Mechanical Fan Part Number AFE54-74108 Once I have an extra $450 I don't want that is. Blackbear tested it on I believe a stock truck and has dyno sheet to prove some modest HP increase across the band, +20HP at the top RPMs where my engine will rarely be but still seems like a better option to me than the rest. Oops, forgot you were talking about dmax not gasser. Sent from the demons in my head

Well that's great when you have cellular coverage or didn't lock your phone in your truck. I frequently travel through and camp in areas with no coverage and have been locked out in such an area. Climbed a hill, called OnStar, nope, they can't find my truck. Luckily my camper was unlocked and I was able to use the old coat hanger trick to unlock a door. Sent from the demons in my head

That link above is for a 1500 with a 5.3. I'm looking for similar for a 2500HD 6.0 Maybe I'm using tapatalk wrong but I believe this is the HD section of the forum. Sent from the demons in my head

I'd be interested in same for a 2017 W/T. I looked into it and didn't find any simple solutions or kits. Some say they're less efficient towing / hauling in extreme hot weather. Maybe that's why. It sure would be nice most of the rest of the time to have the benefits of the electric fan if a quality kit was available. Sent from the demons in my head

Very nice! Thanks for the follow-up post. Questions: How many holes in all did you drill, 2? Or 2 per side? Any issues with airbag sensors / error lights on the instrument panel? I notice the extra vents, accessory outlets under the back of the middle seat. Are they hooked up? Did you have those before with your old setup? Sorry if some of these are rookie questions. I did read your posts but I'm new to these trucks so not entirely sure what exactly was there before and what all still works after. Man that's awesome though not having the death seat in the front middle. Well done! Sent from the demons in my head

How do you have it switched in the cab? What type of switch and where did you mount it? Sent from the demons in my head

Nice work man. Thanks for sharing. Sent from the demons in my head

Finished pic with hood closed? Sent from the demons in my head

Both systems sound ok but I haven't tried either one. Kids call me Mater so don't really have a need. Walkie talkies work well if you have a companion and don't require mods to your new truck. Sent from the demons in my head

I'd think the weight difference between the trucks is more of a factor than 2-300lbs. Not just the 4wd components but the extra 1/2 cab and rear seat etc. In addition to the comment above about licensing. Sent from the demons in my head

I've often thought about an ALLDATA DIY subscription for this but never tried it. Sent from the demons in my head

This was at the parking area at the summit. I'm in Billings so we get up there plenty but I haven't on a snowmobile yet. Sent from the demons in my head

Oh man I just found this thread. Yeah, I've been looking up since I was a kid and still do. Lucky enough now to work at BIL doing IT support. Sent from the demons in my head

Nikon D7200 some primes but mostly 70-300 FX and Sigma 17-50 DX. Airplanes, wildlife and cars oh my! Sent from the demons in my head

Took the '17 2500HD to the top of Beartooth Highway today. 10,947ft no worries at all. Sent from the demons in my head

Say, I have one of those from a previous install in another car. That's a good idea! And I have a base model with no power seats. Thanks for the idea, I may just do that. Now for the antenna. I'm tossing my mag mount and not looking back. I loved the through the roof NMO mount on my wagon but I'd never get into my garage with anything on the roof. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Nice clean install pictured above. I had something similar with the same model radio in a 2006 Suburban. I had + straight to the battery and - to a ground point under the hood near the relays for 10 years and no trouble. I'm now looking for ideas to install that same radio in my 2017 Sierra W/T with center armrest / no center console. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Picked up a 2017 Sierra 2500 Friday night. Installed GM-Trucks.com sticker Sunday afternoon.
