I had started searching into this a few years back and am ready to procede. I have a 2006 2500 WT and would like to upgrade the interior. I had planned to purchase a salvage body and swap everything over for an easier plug and play. But, I have found someone with the door panels,wiring harness,window regulators,ectt. Please let me know if any problems w/ my plan.

 

I have a lead on a set from a 2002 2500hd any idea if differnces in wiring or BCM? Because I could get the BCM and dash harness, but I thought the was a change in electronics in 03, and I am not really wanting to pull the dash harness, incase of other issues that may arise or diffences in options such as climate control, ectt. Esp since there is 4 years differnce.

 

I plan to keep the door harness connected the switches, window regulator, and door actuators but cut the harness and supply power for the units to be functional. I was told that the door switches use a network cable to the BCM to control differnt functions. I was wanting to verify this and see if possible, so looking for reccomended source to check with. I would like remote locks, but would probably add an aftermarket alarm. I am hoping all the network cable was for the factory remote.

 

 

I have a complete steering wheel w/ column to use for the steering wheel controls. Would my dash harness have the correct provisions for this to be installed and used to control the stero and information center? I had planned to remove the clock spring and sterring wheel. but looks to be quite involved from a write I had looked at. Would it be easier to just swap the complete colums?

 

 

As for the seats I think i would need to find a common year powered non heated that was compatable with my trucks airbag plug, and then just supply power for them to work, that part should be easy.

 

I appreciate all help or souces that you can provide.

 

Thanks

Steve

There was a post a little better than a month ago by corey. He performed the operation on a 2011 truck Factory Power Windows and Doors with good success

 

I am sure the information he learned on the transplant would work for you and I suspect he would share.

This I know, which is why I have not done anything in two years. I was able to get a good deal on the truck w/ a warrenty that has replaced alot. I really like the truck , but am finding I can't live w/o the power. I paid $9000 for the truck w/ 3 year warrenty, so if I put 2-3k in, I am still way ahead. I don't use the truck much other towing my track car.

 

But before taking on the project or having someone else, I just wanted to see if someone knew if it is a possibility or with who to check with.

 

Thanks

Steve

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
