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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

Reprogrammed Tpms system so I could run 60 psi in my tires instead of 74 without the truck telling me I have a low tire.20260320_163929.thumb.jpg.00d4dca31886ac57e3561805172e819a.jpg

Yes. I didn't get on the train for all the android based aftermarket radios. I moved the radio screen down to my center console and I'm still in the process of physically having the ipad mounted in the radio spot. I don't get many days off a year so. Keeping my wife happy comes first then I get to work on the truck after I'm done with fixing things around the house and taking her on vacations. 

Would love to see your setup , I been thinking of having SoundMan on Youtube to make me a kustom mount for a 13inch Ipad in My truck . heres a link to him  on IG & youtube

If you can do basic body work i recommend doing it yourself. If I remember correctly they quoted me over $1000 to do the ipad part. You can buy his iPad kit for under $300. Here is the radio relocated. Still working on getting the iPad in the dash. I have 2 of these trucks so I built the radio pieces and i haven't made it farther than that.

It's going to be a while.  I'm working away from home. And I current have to get the transmission replaced in my 2014 sierra. It gave up after 307,650 miles.

Sorry to hear about your transmission , Good luck with that .

I'll patiently be waiting for updates . You should make a topic or YouTube video .

This isn't my k2 but I did it. I did a full stereo install on my coworkers silverado and the denali cluster. IMG_20260326_020804(3).thumb.jpg.c4717bb8bd555fe4e38aa480f102cf0d.jpgIMG_20260326_020804(2).thumb.jpg.b17d2df9922472580356badc1f27ce07.jpgIMG_20260326_020804(1).thumb.jpg.7aeecf89b98ee375853f88f285f7ed44.jpgIMG_20260326_020804.thumb.jpg.f5b30bd3f5430b78f982e678cb912cf3.jpg

Nice work . whats the unit with the Red lights ? I see the Amp (Kicker )

The red lights are the Memphis 600.1 sub amp. The green kicker amp is a 800.8 marine 8 channel. This truck is a LT so no bose. I used the kicker keyloc to come from the head unit. I put that in the dash where the cd player was. We deleted the CD player because he is going to go the ipad route and push the factory radio back in the dash. The harness was a pac harness then ran 9 wire from amp back to head unit and tied into the door speakers. Isolated dash tweeters and the tweeters in the front of the center console sub box on their own channels the highs are all kicker ks series. 2.75 inch in the dash a set of 3.5's and a set of 6.5's in the center console. Front doors are 6x9's the rear doors are 6.5's. And a 12" Memphis sub running 2ohm

Sounds like he is set . Nice install . Im thinking of putting Ipad over My screen , can't get rid  of the 

Blue-ray Player as my Daughter watches them in the truck . I have the Bose System , But I am

debating on adding some Subs under the back seat to have an old school deeper bass for sound .

probably some JL Audio subs or some Solo Barics ..

Do you have the full center console? That's where they hide the subwoofer. You could build a box for a 10 JL TW1-2

They require 0.35 cubic ft of air space and are built for sealed boxes. You can get the video unlock to play off a flash drive.

Yes I have the full Stock center console , & I already have Video unlock , Had it done By White when I bought

My truck in 2018 . My Daughter just loves picking out & bringing her DVD's & loading them in herself 

& I hate to take that away from her . Not sure the 10 JL TW1 would give me the Low deep bass I want .

Was thinking of going with 2 JL 10TW3-D4 under the back seat ( Have them in My convertible & am satisfied ) 

or Kicker Shallows .  Still up in the air though . wish I could fit a W7 😀

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Spot on. The government makes ridiculous mandates, and this causes manufacturers to jump through hoops for every TENTH of a MPG. Main reason quality is in the toilet and prices are in the stratosphere.   The gov't tightened the MPG requirements so much 5 years ago that the only way manufacturers could meet these absolutely ridiculous numbers was to go all EV. Hence the push.     Nobody hates good MPG, Atlas - nobody is "whining". Your side has that trait all locked up. What a stupid argument attempt!   What I particularly hate is the government meddling in the free market system. Had this system been allowed to work as designed and intended by our Founders, cars and trucks would be hitting numbers that would blow our minds, all while costing 30% LESS. Not only that, but engines could probably hit 150k miles again without needing major internal surgery.   My forty year old Ford 302 has 312k on it. Wonder what changed?🤔

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By revmanii · Posted

      The BORA 3/8" spacers arrived yesterday along with the extended lug nuts. I got the front wheels changed out today, but was overheated and covered in sweat so bad, I figured getting both front wheels done was a win, and took a cool shower. Hopefully, I'll go out tomorrow morning before it gets into the 80+ temps and do the backs. After getting the first wheel snugged up, I backed out one of the lug nuts then hand turned to count threads. I believe I stopped counting around 12-13, so I think I'm good there.

      My fullsize truck is averaging over 26mpg so I'm pretty happy with the increased fuel economy targets. When I had my gas Silverado (2020 5.3) it was averaging 21. Again, for a fullsize truck, that's very different from the 12-15 these things used to get 30 years ago.   Whine all you want, increased MPG is a good thing.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I think an OBD-first proof is probably the right next step. I agree that the value is not the hardware box by itself. The marketable part would be the software: always-on capture, baseline learning, event reduction, system-specific reports, and alerts. Also agreed that if an OBD device is always plugged in and has local storage, it should not miss the event in the same way that a scanner plugged in after the fact would. The only thing I would not want to assume yet is that an ELM327-class device gives all the late-GM data needed at the rate needed. Standard OBD live data, DTCs, freeze frame, Mode 6, VIN, and calibration information are definitely the right starting point. GDS2 also proves that a lot of useful ECM data can be viewed through the DLC without needing a DTC first. The question I need to test is whether the data needed for a useful GM V8 event report is actually available through the DLC, and at a useful sample rate: - misfire counts / roughness by cylinder - AFM/DFM state - oil pressure and oil temperature - fuel trims - voltage / reset context - U-codes and communication events - calibration / software information - whether these are standard PIDs, enhanced DIDs, Mode 6 data, GDS2-only data, or not available So I think the right benchmark is: 1. Build the OBD-only version first. 2. Keep it plugged in and logging locally. 3. Compare it against GDS2 / freeze frame / HP Tuners or another higher-end logger. 4. Measure which parameters are available and at what update rate. 5. Only justify ECM-side hardware if it captures useful evidence the OBD version cannot. So you may be right: the consumer product might simply be an always-plugged-in OBD event recorder with much better reporting. A question for you: when you say ELM327 devices can already deliver all the data needed, do you mean generic OBD Mode 01 data only, or GM enhanced data as well? For a useful GM V8 report, would generic OBD data be enough, or would you expect the tool to include enhanced items like misfire by cylinder, AFM/DFM state, oil pressure/oil temp, U-codes, and calibration information?
