  1. Any one swap over their front turn signal to LED? I am very familiar with load resistors ect, but a friend was asking about their vehicle. Put LED bulbs in and of course hyperflash. I see the turn signal is a socket, instead of a wiring pigtail so no wires near the bulb to splice into. Has anyone used a certain brand successfully with a built in load resistor or? Thanks.
  2. Just wanted to post my experience with the 2020 Piston Caliper swap on a GMT800. My truck is a 2006 Z71. The swap went pretty much flawlessly. I have seen a couple of topics on this swap on the web, but nothing on a gmt800 4wd. ZERO modifications to the truck required ( with that being said I have 2015 Sierra 20" wheels, I doubt the stock 17" Z71 wheels will clear.) The only thing I had to do is get 4 washers, 2 for each side to center the caliper over the rotor, so the pads are not dragging on one side. Even the screw that holds the rotor on at the factory fits in the same spot on the new rotors... lol. Parts I used. 2019 - 2020 Silverado / Sierra 4 piston front calipers, rotors and pads. CHECK your own clearances, I do not know if they vary truck to truck, these are what worked on mine. The parts I got were a take off from a truck with around 5 miles on it... so the rotors and pads still required a little use to get them correct. Once I put them through a couple heat cycles, what a difference. I have yet to put new braided hoses I have. I wanted a fair comparison between the caliper swap. Hoping everything will keep working well with more miles put on them.... kind of a guinea pig here. LOL.
  3. Hey Bud. Just got done doing the swap on my 2006 Z71. Here are the measurements roughly. Front face of rotor to outer edge of the caliper is 2-1/2" roughly. From face of hub to outer edge of caliper is 1-1/2". If concerned about clearance add 1/16" to your figure. I have 2015 Sierra 20" oem wheels on the truck. Tons of clearance with these.
  4. I am one to vote for the shifter on the column. I have driven vehicles with the dial or push button, and it is just weird to me. I do like the push button start, keeping the keys in your pocket is awesome tho. Console shifters I agree take up space that could be used for other activities.
  5. Editing to blank. Just poking. Not trying to have a pissing contest.
  6. BUT, since we have off topic replies here ( guilty ) Sorry about the issue you had.... hope that it does not become a large issue and GM gets it fixed. I agree... I would not want my harness lengthened either. Just asking for problem possibilities down the road, 100% possible.
  7. Ha. Everytime I have driven a 4 cylinder this has been the case. Seems to not be an armchair "review". So say what you want, doesn't bother me. ?
  8. You can have your 4 cylinders. I dont care how much power it makes... or feels like a V8. The sound of 4 cylinder is is terrible IMO. I hear ecoboost V6 trucks running around with aftermarket exhausts and they even sound out of place. 4 cylinder.... nope. ?? Every time I have driven a 4 cylinder car with a few thousand miles on it.. they rattle and vibrate and sound like heck. Nope. Hahah.
  9. I have a dealer connect, so i will see what I can get pricing wise. Thanks.
  10. Yes, this is what I was referencing earlier.... I ran all of these #s... not one to be found on ebay ect lol.
  11. Have a question about our 2014. I looked at all of the GM part #'s referenced to work for the 14- Early 15... and can not find a single cluster... plenty of 15.5 and up clusters on the web. So looking at the chart... the 2015.5 and up clusters will not work period? Thanks!
  12. We had ours replaced under warranty after a year of owning the truck... ours was whining real loud. I believe it's starting to do it again.. come on recall. hahahaha.
  13. Spent some time at Daytona this weekend.....
  14. Not a make it or break it deal for us... I prefer not to have any sunroof... less chance of leaks lol.
  15. I installed the top gun customz on our truck... just the 2 inch. works great. All steel.
  16. We picked up ours about 3 weeks ago.. loving it so far. Mods are coming!
