Had this from my last truck and got it put in. Used the PAC-OS4 and PAC-SWIPS. Everything was pretty straight forward. Had to cut out the back of the opening so the unit would fit. Stuffing the OS4 and SWI was a bit of a pain. I chose to use the pioneers bluetooth instead of the trucks. I also have the pioneer xm receiver. If you use this buy this cable to interface with the xm receiver and use the factory antenna (http://www.myradiostore.com/p/gm-single.html). It'll save you from having to cut the plastic fitting on the factory cable and there's really no place to put the receiver with the length of the factory cable anyway. Overall i love this unit, only drawback is the front usb port instead of being in the rear. I'm going to get a longer black iPod cable so i can route it to the glovebox and have the iPod locked up.

Looks good! The dash kit also seems to be a close match. I had a hard time finding out that looked ok in the Double Din size. How was hooking up the Os-4?

dash kit matches very well, i can't tell any difference. OS4 was fine, its pretty self explanatory. To keep factory xm you have to get a head unit that has component inputs (red and white input) which i've never seen. I'm sure there is one though. Factory bluetooth worked fine but it cuts the unit off or something when a call comes in so i opted to use pioneer's bluetooth. Probably the biggest pain was programming the steering wheel buttons. took a few trys.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
