    I have a 2018 Silverado 2500 HD LTZ Duramax. The truck is pretty much fully loaded and I don’t like the center console. The 1500 truck I used to own had the front bench seat; actually two buckets with a center seat that the back can fold down to be a arm rest/console. Has anyone converted the center console to the front “bench” seat? I would like to make the conversion but am wondering what’s involved and are the parts just a bolt on? Any link to anyone that has done it too would be appreciated. Thanks

    Maybe try going to another dealer and see if they’ll do anything to help you out.

    I have a 2017 GMC Sierra SLE Elevation Edition that came from the factory with DL8 mirrors. That is non power fold, heated and power adjust. I just installed a pair of factory DQS power fold tow mirrors last weekend. The answer to your question is YES you can add DQS mirrors on a 2017. I had to modify my door harness but with a bit of research on this forum and a lot of help from pgamboa it works. I had to install a wire each for the clearance lamp, signal lights and cargo lamp circuits plus I had to splice in a ground wire. I also had to buy the proper mirror adjust/mirror fold switch assembly from my dealer (a week and a half wait). So I have the power fold function, power mirror adjust, heated glass (defrost), signal, clearance and cargo lights. I cant comment about mirror memory or mirror tilt in reverse as my truck don’t have those features.

    After high school I wanted to put a 440 in it. But at that time it was too much work for me. Having it parked and working on it in my parent's driveway was a bit challenging. My mom used to yell at me for having old car parts lying around the yard and having dirty hands all the time. It's always strange looking back and thinking what the car could have been. A friend of a friend had a built 440 for sale. I didn't want to get involved with custom motor mounts and custom fenderwell headers. The stance wouldn't have looked right either. I remember with fenderwell headers I would have had to crank up the torsion bars to raise the front end to prevent the exhaust from hitting the ground.... I'm sure it would have been somewhat quicker though. ?

    I spotted this last year while towing my boat along the highway. I saw the wheel wobbling in the side mirror and pulled over right away. I was lucky the tire didn't blow while on the road. You can see that the profile of the tread is curved. No the rim isn't bent. The cords within the tire must have broke. I think the tire was just too old. Goodyear Marathons are what I use inflated to 40 psi. I carry a spare and the correct lug wrench for the trailer....

    Thanks for the compliment. Mine definitely isn't a sleeper. As you can see it's old school modified. Centerline wheels with 28x10.5x15 BFG drag radials out back and Mickey Thompson skinnies up front. The engine is a somewhat modified 340 with J heads, Crower cam, Edelbrock intake, Holley 650 double pumper carb, Hooker headers with Flowmaster mufflers. The transmission is a four speed going to a 8 3/4 rear end with 4.10 gears. It's a pain in the ass to get in and out of these days with the 6 point roll bar. I must be getting old. Not too practical for me to drive anymore but I don't want to sell it...

    After sitting in a garage for almost 20 years I got my high school car running again yesterday.... 1972 Duster 340

    Where in the front did you hear the noises coming from?

    That's for the clarification. Just want to thank you on behalf of everyone interested in these mirror mods. Your knowledge is much appreciated !!

    What is the puddle lamp diode for? To get the puddle light to work isn't it just a matter of wiring up pin 3 on the x500 connector to the appropriate pin on the mirror connector? Is the proper (factory) operation of the puddle lamp for it to come on whenever the dome light comes on?

    I was planning on making the installation as simple as possible by using a fuse tap to and existing fuse circuit. I think I did notice a couple of RAP breakers on the passenger side but I can't use the fuse taps I have on those circuits. I have a couple of mini ATC fuse taps I wanted to use to hard wire my dash cam. Those two RAP breakers don't look like a traditional fuse (ATC, mini ATC).

    I want to hard wire my dash cam but I'm having trouble finding a 12 volt accessory source at the fuse panel. That is, a 12 volt fuse that's on in the accessory or on position and 0 volts when the key is in the off position. It doesn't matter which side fuse panel it's on. Please help... Maybe someone that already has their dash cam or even a radar detector hard wired in their truck.
