Fix my center console latch, had the chrome latch but accidentally slammed it and it’s been broken for few month now. I order a new one for 40$ off Amazon part number is 22861304 if anybody needs a replacement (also fixed the broken one if it happens again used some epoxy) so I have a spare. It’s literally a 3min swap if that.

Just ordered one - dangit! [emoji3]
Tell me about the installation process, I'm all ears! [emoji4]

It’s super easy. Once it’s programmed it’s literally plug and play. Pop off the top cover on the speedo. Just smack it upwards and it’ll pop out. There’s three 7mm bolts right at the top that you’ll see. Pop the knee bolster down slightly by pulling it, and you’ll have room to wiggle the speedo surround out. Then there’s 4 bolts that hold the speedo in. Unbolt, unplug the old and just reverse assembly. It’s easier to squeeze that cluster surround in if you turn on the ignition and shift it into manual mode for clearance. Takes 15mins.

Thanks! Looking forward to getting the cluster and trying it out.
Doggone it, you just made me spend some more money but, heck, I think I'm gonna enjoy it! :D

The stimulus check is for stimulating the economy. Helping small businesses is where it’s all at. [emoji1787][emoji1787] Chris at WAMS is awesome at what he does and provides an awesome service. I was on the fence for a while until I finally got permission. Lol! It’s an awesome upgrade that you look at every single time you drive. It has a really cool 3D effect to the gauges too that nobody talks about. The way the analog gauges stick out and the lcd screen is recessed. I’m super pumped about it.

Stimulus check?
Yes, indeed it will help the economy!
But I'm not eligible and I don't need it, fortunately.

what did it cost ?

Clink the link for the website and you can see the prices. 200 for programming your cluster, or 650 for a brand new one programmed. I’ve seen used clusters selling for 350, so going new is a no brainer.

Finished installing the GM Baja Squadron Light Kit.  I'm pretty close to being done with modifying this truck.  20210325_165010.thumb.jpg.cd2d1069c727a9f290c73cf7f95c44ba.jpg

That’s what I said on my first round of doubling the power..... now I’m doubling it again hahaha. I hope I’m “done” modifying after that! Hahahaha

Every mod I’ve done I’m like “no hun, don’t worry, this one will be totally the last one.” Then I see another post on this thread... [emoji1787][emoji389][emoji389]

Lol you should check out the boosted Gen V page lmao. You think it’s bad here.....

Got my new plate. This thing is used to haul my kids around 90% of the time so I figured the name was fitting.

    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
