Also, Austin winter weather has been rough. Really wishing I would have picked the 4x4 when I bought my truck. Was avoiding a spinning car and got stuck in the snow on my way to work. A nice passerby in a tundra helped me out. He told me he loved my truck and if it wasn’t for his ex wife he would have bought a GMC, so that’s good. emoji23.png6759d7997f36e7cd370f78fab84e4714.jpg

figured since I sell a ton of parts on eBay I’ll just have them take pictures with parts on and tag me ? plus I get to look at sh** on IG

Went to go help my MIL with no electricity in this storm. Had to stop and move a limb, it looked like a Chevy commercial so I took a pic.

Finally pulled the trigger and gave my 2017 Silverado 1500 Rally 1 another upgrade. Thanks to @pgamboa and White Automotive and Media I was able to retrofit the Denali cluster and new leather steering wheel into my truck.? I was able to achieve controls from the steering wheel to my aftermarket radio as well! Huge plus. ? I'm very happy with how this turned out. ?

Finally installed these 2 minor mods now that the garage heater is kickin:

 

These from Amazon...

In short, they are what I call crappleberry flavored. Significantly narrower than what’s shown on the product the page AND the ‘Sierra’ lettering doesn’t fit above the first bend in the sheet metal So they look weird to me, and I don’t expect them to last long at all, but I have another style lined up for when they fail.

 

2nd one was these pre-cut fog light films from Lamin-X. Now THESE, are surprisingly very good. The cut is 99% the factory shape, with a couple misses in very small spots in the corners, very thick and high quality and they seem to adhere very well. Extremely easy to apply, no heat guns, and water is optional, but not necessary for smaller flat lights. (I prefer this to the cut your own and shrink on method, but that’s me.) So we’ll see how they last but I like em and they were pretty inexpensive.

Ran 14guage to my door speakers and mocked up an amp rack with some old amps. Going to be carpet matched mdf or acrylic once I get the template done. Haven't decided yet.

Hey Troyce - looked through your posts but not seeing it. What screen upgrade are you running? Looks slick!

Dang. Must not like Google links. I'll fix in a bit.

Thank you @cohibadream ? The screen I have in there is a Chinese Android aftermarket 10 inch direct fit unit. Roadnav S160 M462. Bought it on Ebay when I first got the truck. I had to hard wire it in because I had the IOB factory radio. I think it works pretty good overall and was able to achieve a lot of features the IOB was drastically lacking.

@Frankielozano214 This setup was $395.00. Not too bad. Honestly don't even know if these things are still kicking around?

Damn that was a good deal. I’m happy with the factory radio but would like a 10” screen

What was else was needed to make this work aside from the new cluster and wheel? I'd like to do this to my WT

    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
    • 286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔           
    • hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you
