    Talk to @pgamboa. He can hook you up with everything that you need to do a center console swap, obviously depending on your vehicle year.

    The knock-off's are. If you look closely, the texturing isn't like OEM and usually have the silver banding around the Chevy emblem is much different in thickness and quality as well. OEM are like $125+.

    Tempted to go the Amp route but also do like the look of physically deployed steps. Still going back and forth... hear horror stories in the Rust Belt about these seizing up and/or freezing the motor on cold, wet, icy days.

    Can't beat that, easy fix AND potentially prevented a future issue that wasn't known at the time - the radiator (unless you were having problems with it). Glad you got it taken care of.

    Converted to LED bulbs on the rear; cargo, 3rd brake light, reverse, and license plate lights. Went with DiodeDynamics as I've had good success with their product and am a repeat customer from my Charger. I'd say they're super bright, not as bright as some extreme eBay LEDs out there but definitely loving the change to a solid, pure white over the old bulbs.

    Yes! Goo Gone. I have a black truck and I used Goo Gone. Can't even tell. I actually had some shadowing in my clear coat that I had to do a Step 3 with but seriously, Goo Gone and a trim removal tool will do the trick. For my shadowing I just used some Meguiar's Scratch X. Looks so much better debadged. Also, some people here have recommended using a 3M eraser wheel with great success, may even be easier than using Goo Gone and elbow grease.

    Pretty sure everything on the truck is keyed to match the ignition key. Pretty sure meaning 99% sure as I haven't been able to try otherwise. ? I use the underseat area to lock my gun up if and when I need to, it's great! Not as great as a real console lock box but it's better than nothing!

    Just do it. It is so easy. It took me an hour for the 1st door just because I was being meticulous about everything and trying to fully understand the entire process from start to finish. The 2nd door took me 20 minutes and that is including swapping the mirror caps from chrome to black. The hardest part was the damn moisture barrier on the doors. My driver side barrier ripped in 3 different places. ? Tip: use a sharp trim removal tool to sort of... scrape along the seal as you pull it away from the door so it doesn't rip. Lesson learned. Nothing a bit of heavy duty duct tape can't fix.

    I don't have any pictures but I did the DL3 mirror upgrade to have all the sweet features. Thanks @pgamboa.

    Easy. See if @Frankielozano214 has any more heated wheels available, he's got good prices. Then you need to see if you have the plug underneath your steering column for the heater. Some have it and some don't. Also some apparently have it and it is already hot (can check with a multimeter) and some are dead so you will need an additional fuse block wiring kit (I think). Not sure where you can get one of those since I didn't need one but I bet @pgamboa can help you out. Then you need to figure out what clock spring you need and find one online if Frankie doesn't have one available. Usually any GM parts warehouse will have them or just look around on eBay. I took the chance on the eBay route and actually got the correct clock spring for $24. A lot of "superceded" part numbers flying around with mismatched item pictures in the listings... Buy a heated steering wheel from Frankie Check to see if you have the plug, and check to see if it is hot (Optional) Buy the fuse block wiring kit if the plug is not hot Buy a clock spring for your heated steering wheel Install. Bust your knuckles. Curse and swear. Spill your beer. ??? Warmth

    Heated steering wheel just in time for the cold weather. Thanks Frankie.

    Wow... and I thought $185/year in MI was bad.

    What mother flippin' state do you live in so I know not to move there? ?
  14. xSHIFTxNASTYx
    Simple solution for me was some Meguiar's ScratchX 2.0 I removed some badges and had the same ghosting/imperfections in the clear coat. A bit of ScratchX made a huge difference.

    Upgraded to LED tail lights. Thanks@pgamboa for the awesome wiring harness! Oh, and thanks@frankielozano214 for the sweet tail lights!

    Every time I see a Midnight truck just like mine with tow mirrors it makes me wish I had tow mirrors. Truck doesn't quite feel big enough to me so I guess that is how I'm convincing myself that I'm okay without tow mirrors! I just bought some DL3's and the harness to add all the cool stuff; power fold, flood lamps, blah blah blah, etc. Still not tow mirrors though... truck looks sexy!

    pgamboa sells the door switch on www.harnessdr.com but I think he is currently out of stock. I imagine he will be getting more soon.

    If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure that the "slide in camper" they are referring to is the kind that you literally slide into the back of your truck bed.

    Go to HarnessDR and at the top mouse over "Vehicle Make". It will bring down a drop menu, mouse over either "Chevrolet" or "GMC" and it will open up a ton of harnesses that are available to purchase. Just find the one you need or if you need help, send pgamboa a message and he will help you! GL

    Clearly you don't have any issues with your foam cannon at such a high PSI? I bought a kit for myself as well but have been afraid to try 3,100 PSI through the cannon...

    That looks really nice! Did you have any shadowing left over from the old "SILVERADO" decal? If so, how did you clean it up? I removed my Z71 decals to put on black "SILVERADO" decals, but I haven't actually stuck them on yet because of the shadowing. It's not residue from the 3M tape, but more of a discoloration from the outline of the old badge. Not sure how to clean this up even better since I'm super anal about stuff like this being perfect before I stick another badge there...
  23. xSHIFTxNASTYx
    At least they got rid of the stripes going down the side of the truck.
  24. xSHIFTxNASTYx
    Nice. I recently did that myself as well. So much nicer than grabbing my steering wheel. Mine was also a perfect fit with no issues with gapping.

    I have the Blackhawk CAI in my truck and I love it. I don't have any experience with it in conjunction with any aftermarket exhaust though, sorry. I am planning on a Borla ATAK myself as soon as I feel like dumping $1K+ for one.
