For a while, I had the door handles installed with just the regular LED that was in the door. I did a whole retrofit and bought some Profile Prism Sequential LED strips(6"). Crossed my fingers and dug(dremel/grinded) out the backside of the door handle to fit the LED strips, sealed them up and wired them back up. Now they come on with park-lamp(white) and turn signal. I did also wire up the regular LED to come on with the puddle lamp, but at night, the park lamp comes on, so it outshines the OE LED in the door :(. I did keep the option in the door to switch it out to that if the normal park-lamp LED was too bright(unless I get complaints, it' the bright LED :D ).

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 man! I had the parts sitting around giving me the stink eye to do the retrofit for almost a year. Due to the covid stuff going on, been working from home since March.. so was taking my time and didn't need to drive the truck really, so it could stay apart for a while.. haha!  you can find sellers that do more crazy stuff, but I had the time and wanted to learn.. plus, I like how the Profile Prism sequential flow(chasing) These things are BRIGHT!

 

I'm going to get a ticket for switching lanes too many times trying to show it off..  ? ?

Installed Ride Ride clones (Torque TR2430)

Straightforward and no noticeable difference in ride with 5psi in them.

Should help to complement the WDH for the 24' travel trailer.

Any noticeable difference in sound without a speaker amp? And how so if so?

Replaced the touchscreen in my truck with a junkyard unit to see if it would fix my radio problems.  No such luck.  Probably means I need a new radio module or I have cabling issues associated with the radio.  Guess it is time to start saving up for an aftermarket upgrade.....

It would probably be cheaper to take your truck and have a dealership diagnose the problem. Throwing parts at it is gonna get expensive especially when you start having to program modules for your VIN.

I will put in an aftermarket unit before that happens.

Lol so you will spend a couple hundred on a screen replacement (when you didn’t even know that was the issue) but similar price for diagnosing is a no go.. difference is you would have your answer. I could’ve told you it wasn’t the screen and before you replace the radio module I would look at HMI

Since the replacement came from a place that will accept returns for a full refund I am out $0.  With that much investment it was worth a shot; I have seen way too many failed touchscreens to not think this was a pretty good stab at the issue.  Now it is time to put together some coin for a nice shiny new Kenwood, Alpine, or Pioneer.  Was never intending to replace the OE audio system but it looks like it needs to happen.

I did the same thing when I did my DL3 upgrade, only I went with Polk Audio. I'm glad I took the time and did it together, because I am not ever planning on taking those door panels off again. Lining them up to get them back on sucks. 

Any difference in sounds quality?

I find it a bit better. But I did it, because I eventually want to upgrade the system completely and the door panels were already off to do the mirrors.

It'll probably be a better quality difference once the rest of the speakers are replaced and an amp and sub are added.

Installed OEM Chevy Projection puddle lamps(need to tweak the position, not straight with the body). These are for 2019-2021, but fit my 2017.

I ordered some of those 3-4 days ago waiting for them to arrive, how do you plan to straighten them?

It looks like you can just notch a little off  of the side(left or right) of where it clips into depending on which way it need to turn. It's not that far off, so it wouldn't be that bad. I did have to shave a little off the edge on one side, as it rubs/pushes up against(looks like a the housing for the mirror motor?) and it wouldn't sit flush. After shaving off a little, it sat flush. Per paperwork mine came with, the stickers were supposed to be Purple(DD) and Orange(PD), the Orange(PD) looked yellow to me.. But yellow in the paper works was for Cadillac DD.. :D

 

**Updated to show after notching out the puddle insert to line up with body.

      The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.

      I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!

      I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
