I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Thanks to@pgamboa for all his help and his perfect custom PnP harness. Also with any questions he answered within minutes. Am very happy with how they turned out. Also got him to do the key fob fold in/fold out mod for me :)147583e0184bdc6d568e9e1846ff5a81.jpg

No pictures here.....installed the front sway bar to rid myself of awful Electric Power steering Feel....It deadens the feel substantially.  You can still feel it but it's half as light/loose now!

Did the Cluster swap the other day and now have a Denali Cluster in my 2016 Silverado LT. I like it! Now to figure out how to change the aqua LEDs to red. Then this truck will be a true Redline Edition [emoji23]

I want to know how to switch my aquas to red if you figure it out. I used photography gel to change my map/ dome lights to red but that was the extent of it.

wouldn't you just have to change the surface mount LEDs on the dash?  it's soooooo simple.  i did it to my 14 (red to blue) and it looks so much better.  my experience doing this kind of thing can best be summed up with this statement...  i had to go buy a soldering gun to do this... never done anything like it before.

 

i got my LEDs from oznium.com

 

first 2 pics are stock chevy dash, with dash overlays added from http://www.newtruckstuff.com/US-SPEEDO-CUSTOM-TIMELESS-EDITION-STAINLESS-STEEL-GAGUE-FACE-SPEEDOMETER-KIT-BLUE/productinfo/TMGM31B/#

The swap was not difficult at all. More nerve racking taking apart a 2 year old truck. Just take your time, watch@pgamboa video 50 times and you should be good. Honestly took me around 6 hours for both sides including breaks and stuff. I would definitely do the swap if you are thinking about it!

That is damn cool, nice work!

I am referring to the aqua colored lights behind the hvac and behind the lights/ transfer case switch which is what I believe pgamboa is talking about.

ok - those are 'easy' to change... i covered the white LEDs with blue lighting 'gels'

 

i "blued" out all of the white LEDs.  eventually i'd like to replace all the white LEDs with blue LEDS, but for now, the blue gels are doing a great job....

 

the final 3 pics show a before/after of the entertainment controls with the LEDs covered in the blue gel (filament) - but it's the same idea with the hvac controls.  i found it was easier with the knobs to put the gel inside the knob as opposed to covering the LED - i just use double sided clear tape to hold the gel in place

The “easiest” way to go to the red is look on eBay for hvac controls from a Sierra. Chevy used blue while gmc used red. I believe they changed up the gmc to blue for 17 though.

I was actually doing that today. I had about 45 seconds of free time when that ended. Lol

So are the LEDs themselves white? What makes the blue/red illumination? Is it the lens cover itself?? This is interesting.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.
