Go to Echomaster.com the link here will take you to their catalog.

There use to be a company called RainTracker, but unfortunately are out of business. All the new cars have it built into the BCM and the sensor comes installed on a new windshield, which connects directly to the BCM. I think RainTracker licensed their technology to who I think is GM. sorry for the bad news... not even the Chinese have been able to duplicate it...

It sounds like a broken screen, or a loose cable. it's not hard to pull the screen out, the radio is somewher is under the dash passenger side..

Sorry for the long post As I'm getting a lot older I like to spread my knowledge around. I'm only 70 If you install a 2.5" or any other size spacer no matter whether below the shock or above the strut spacer. The truck will go up more than the size of the spacer due to the geometry of the suspension Also the geometry of the upper arm you replaced with a non-stock one could also play a part in the height. I would contact Readylift and find out if the arm is different that the stock besides being of a stronger material. On my 2017 Silverado 1500 2WD I had a 1.75" spacer that leveled the truck but not enough so the rear end was a little higher, about 3/4" higher. So I bought a 2" billet spacer and installed it truck went up a little less that 3" I know a friend of mine installed a !/2" spacer on the lower arm below the shock and his truck went up 1" Maybe someone here has the formula for the geometry and the height difference. Or you can Google or Bing it. Actually the 3/4 ton trucks have a different geometry, have you noticed when you drive your car in a garage the wheels squeal? it because the engineers put in understeer (move the steering wheel with less turning of the wheels) to the geometry to make it a little harder to spin the car. Most new vehicles have Variable Steering because it makes it harder to turn the steering wheel at speed and easier to turn at lower speed. In this case they accomplish the same as with mechanical means. There are books written about car steering geometry, I used to have one when I autocrossed. Go to the SCCA website.

Don't even think of running all the stuff from the stock battery, the battery chargin is totally controled by the computer, notice the wires that go through a circle out of the battery, that is an amp meter, it measure the current that is needed. The battery charging part of the computer looks at 1. under hood temperature 2. battery temperature 3. battery load among other parameters. with this management the battery will last al lot longer. Our trucks come with the tray on the left side of the engine compartment, this is where the diesels have a 2nd battery. I don't think the tray is big enough for a REAL battery... But you can fit a smaller one. Then go to go to https://www.gmupfitter.com/ and search for the way GM would expect to add batteries to the truck. This website is totally dedicated to Upfitters, which are the companies that build Ambulances, Cop trucks, etc... most used are commercial vehicle conversions. When you are at the website go to Technical Bulletins and look for UI Bulletin #137b, although it's for big vans, the schematic is very enlightening. One thing that has kept me back from adding heavy duty stuff is that the trucks when they are built, they only install wiring for the truck with those options, so there are no provisions to add to the switches we have under the radio screen. There are workarounds, so you have to research them, and find a good installer that know how to work on these trucks, you might research where do the Police have their cars converted, etc... Big problem for me is that I'm and Electro/Mechanical Engineer, among other things and I tend to not ad stuff to the trucks original electrical architecture. GM spends millions into engineering the electrical systems. Our trucks all run with a Computer Network. I think the current ones is GM-LAN, I'm not sure. But also being a Software Engineer, I read that the C8 Corvette is the the First GM car using an ETHERNET network, similar to what you have in your office or in your house if it's not running WIFI, any computer connected to a network including internet with a physical network wiring is more likely running ETHERNET. The reason I would not change anything or only add additional accessories is if there are ports on BCM open that are made for that. Add a stronger alternator, this will not affect the computers, if they are compatible with the voltage regulator that our trucks need. From there you can isolate the trucks computer and install all you want and will not affect lights dimming, etc... And don't forget an to have the extra battery charged when you run the truck but not use power from the truck battery when you park and Play the Beats.. I may be wrong on my advice, because although I stay in touch with the automotive advances, I don't have any hands on or any contact with installers. Sorry for the long post... I tend to be long winded.. it comes with age, working on Cars/Motorcycles as a hobby, and writing computer code along with software user manuals.. And yes... I'm fng 70 yrs old, basically I know I will be pushing daisies in the very near future...

I tried to order one and they are not available, I did contact a company that specializes in tearing down totaled cars LKQ, I've bought from them some nice parts converting my LT a LTZ, and they guarantee them for 90 days. all the parts I've bought are perfect. I've emailed them and waiting for a response. but if they are not available from GM they sell to the dealers first. Prices from a GM dealer on the internet 23359396 cocoa MSRP $549,93 $358.01 8412346698844696 black MSRP $803.58 $523.13 These are Console assembly without eassist. with denali, without rear dvd So there all different prices depending on options... notice the above ones are for Denali. Actually I asked for the cocoa one because I think the denali fits a silverado it just might have some extra trim on it, the cocoa would not bother me also because I can have re upholstered, or dye it black. They also need the VIN number to see if there are options that would prohibit installation on my truck.

Make sure you have Android Auto installed. Then go to Settings on the phone and in the search enter Android Auto and it will give you all the options. The sound comes on because all sound from the phone plays through Bluetooth. So because the sound plays doesn't mean you have it Android Auto installed and configured correctly. I it still doesn't work? the reinstall the Android App from the play store. Normally the first time you run it, it configures itself to your truck. I have a 2017 and I have a Samsung S10+ and works perfectly. I also connect it to my sons Suburban and it works also and it installed itself on his truck also.

These are great I have 10 of them installed and I can beat Corvettes with my 6 cylinder 3 liter motor.. I also have the windshield wiper bearings installed, great for snow. The radiator ones are not good at all.

You must connect you phone to the truck using an USB cable. You can use your charging cable if you have one. You can connect it to any USB port. Inside the glove box or inside the middle seat storage area. I don't know about size of the screen, but I have an 8" screen. Your phone will connect through Bluetooth for audio, but not video. Future trucks will have wireless NAV support. Some GM cars already connect through wireless. It also depends on the BT version your truck and phone have. Most likely is your truck... GM treats us truck owners like the armpit of customers.

What year truck?

Do not disconnect any yellow or orange plugs at all, after disconnecting the battery wait at least 30 minutes for the airbag modules to discharge internally. But I see no reason at all to disconnect this unless you are replacing an airbag. Lots of bad guys steal steering wheel airbags, and they have been knocked out by the airbag exploding... also they will explode even when you disconnect them by static electricity.

You are right. I got all kinds of info at Curtmfg.com, has a kinds of info on towing.

My 2017 Silverado 2WD LT with heavy duty towing equipment will tow up to 7,000 not the advertised 10,000 according to the GVWR sticker. To make sure look at the sticker in the body between the left doors in the bottom, it will give you the GVWR which is the maximum rated pull weight of the truck. I thought according to advertising of Silverados for year 2016. they could tow 10,000, to compare with the Ford 1500 and the Dodge 1500 then it was changed at the beginning of production to state that with 3:42 gears it could tow 10,000. But knowing GM with the crappy 6 speed they knew it would not be able to tow that weight. So they changed it lower again.

Tires are not covered under warranty. In the bumper to bumper guarantee you need to take them to the a store that handles that brand and have them inspected for manufacturing defects. If they are then that particular tire dealer can contact the manufacturer to see if they will replace them for you. It's not advisable to run tires that have slow leaks, what ever caused them of is causing the will wiggle on each revolution of the tire and will damage them where they cannot be patched. Most of this info is listed in your service manual. and your truck warranty may be different depending on the state you live in.

Just thinking out loud.... Most wiring in the truck is somehow monitored through or by the computer. That's the reason you can't find the wires you want in the harness. If you see any small thin wires they are computer network monitor wires, don't tap into them or you can possibly harm one of the computers. You can tap into the the box under the steering wheel on the left side of the firewall, if you remove it there are open wires taps that can be used for your purpose as long as you use them to trigger a relay connected directly to the battery with at least a 10 amp fuse. I went to hook up signal mirrors and found out that they needed to be hooked up to the under the steering wheel main body computer. Go to https://www.gmupfitter.com/ and find the schematics for your truck, and there you will find out how to hook up accessories. You have to get special connectors and a special crimper so you can insert the needed wires into the empty cavities of the BCM. I can help but will not be responsible for any damage. or errors, you will have to follow the wires that you need to use and plug the in where they are needed. Also you will need a copy if your option list because most diagrams are different depending on the option. Or you can wing it but be very careful and test the wires for 12v if they are 3volts and the ohm meter needle or display can't catch up then those are network wires that work like the back of your cable modem where the ethernet wire is connected. I forgot in some cases you have to install a diode to stop feedback into other circuits....

depending on what wheel you are installing, the spacers width will determine the difference from stock wheels. I you are just trying to widen the stance then you have to be careful because most thin spacers use the exiting studs, thereby putting extra force on them and they sometimes snap off and your wheel will come off. Fix for these is to install racing studs, they are longer and stronger. I personally installed a set of Nissan Titan WD Diesel 18" wheels and I needed a 2.5" spacer because their offset, The spacer is hub centric and wheel centric, which means that they fit the hub like the stock wheels and they fit the wheels hub also. In that case if your lugnuts loosen the wheels will not wobble and break the studs. Also the spacer accepts the conical nuts like factory and you tighten those, then you install the wheel and the corresponding wheel nuts. So the width of the billet spacer holds the weight of the truck on them, not just the lug nuts. You can buy 1/2 spacers at any parts store, but I personally don't recommend them, get wheels with a bigger offset. I've built show cars/tucks for many years, mainly for SEMA where your vehicles may want to be duplicated by the car manufacturers or let dealers duplicate them and maintain factory warranties. The track on most GM trucks is wider in the front than the rear. If you put spacers the same width the track will be the same as factory

Sorry long post Have had this problem with my 2017 LT 2wd, 1500, crew cab, short bed, has 25000 miles, 10,000 towing rear end ratio. Have had it at the dealer, at least 5 times, no fix, no TSB's, no oil change (same problem with 2500 trucks, fix was to replace the trans fluid because the one they put in was not the correct one. they had a recall) They wouldn't do anything, I wanted to do a Lemon Law complaint, in CA you can do it. some people think that this is only valid while the 36,000 miles or 3 year bumper to bumper. But the running gear is guaranteed to the 50,000 or 5 yr. So the problem I have is that the 3:42 rear end ratio. And I can't find that normally on a 1500 in california. When I bought mine it was one of three 2017's they had. So it was pretty happy with it.. I have also upgraded it myself to what an LTZ would have, signal mirrors, auto-dimming rear view mirror with auto-dimming left side mirror, programmable garage door opener, etc. Also shaved off all emblems, GM bed lighting, K&N filter, Nissan Titan XD diesel Tires and Wheels (5 of them). a second set of matching horns. big trailer connector extension to give me a 4 or 5 prong trailer connector to connect a below tailgate LED lights. Grillcraft mesh grille insert. GM running boards flat ones, chrome and powder coated semi-gloss black. So If I change the truck I would have to remove all this stuff, because I would not want to give GM the stuff that I installed.... At least I have a 6 year, 100,000 mile $100 deductible insurance. which would cover the tranny if it goes to hell. Good thing is that there are lots of Silverados with lots of miles with them with the exact driver train. And my truck will burn rubber off the line and surprises tons of other Silverado owners from Stop lights to Stop signs....

Year?

I'm lucky that I bought an extended warranty to 100,000. I have a 2017 Silvy LT, I have only 24000 miles on it, I didn't drive it for 2 years. Meanwhile my truck ran out of the bumper to bumper warranty. About 3 months ago, I notice one of my rear shocks leaking, dealer wanted $367 to replace both with my extended warranty $100. I first priced two rear shock and the price was more than $100 plus labor. I can't believe the POS shocks on the truck that lasted just 24,000 miles. I'm getting sick and tired of the lack of quality that these trucks suffer from. Also, have you guys replaced the Vacuum Pump? there was a software update, but it made the truck turn on the ABS just backing up in my driveway. Suddenly I lost my power brakes... went to the dealer and they replaced the Vacuum Pump, no charge. They never informed me, but the warranty is extended to 25,000 miles for that part only..

Febreze, before the ozone thing also put a box of Baking soda make sure it's the one with the mesh on the side or you can just work it onto the carpet and wait a couple of days, vacuum then repeat, tht lifts the smell right off the carpet. If you have a good steamer then you may want to try it before the baking soda. Next time do what do on my 2017 Silverado is to put in mud floor mats

The switches are also priced very well.

I hope this info will help. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2014-2019-GM-UPFITTER-CHEVY-GMC-JUNCTION-BLOCK-CONNECTOR-AUX-SWITCHES-15547108/222378277124 This company will provide you with a complete solution. That is if you are looking for these parts, they connect from the switches to the connector box under the dash.

SORRY - I sent it before I could finish the post.. The connections you are looking at are GPS plugs, GPS satellite signals are very touchy, that's the reason for two plugs, also it can search more that one satellite at at a time. The radio you want looks like any other radio antenna plug, except it uses the small plug that has been used for the last 10 years. And there are tons of adapters sold everywhere. As for splitting the antenna for a CB yes you can do it, make sure you are not running the stock transmitting power which is .05w. then it's not that powerful to cause damage to the finals. Being not matched or adjusted not adjusted for the radio wave is no problem, because everytime you change the channel the antenna is off already. Now if you are running 5w to 20w then yes, you will blow the finals off the transmitter and maybe other parts. The outside antenna connector connects to the real radio which is a box in back of the glove box. The screen is actually a display and converts touches to analog signals that the radio can understand. .

How much for the rear shocks?? I live close to Ontario Airport
