Hauled this precious cargo home for the first time from the NICU after 40 days!   Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

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.

Drivers side heated seat quit working on me this fall. Thought maybe the detail shop might have pulled a wire loose or something but after checking it over everything was still plugged in. So of course I was thinking, "great, some module has went bad or I have a broken wire in the harness." After doing some checking, I found out my passenger side still worked, bother switches still illuminated, and I had power to the heated seat terminals. Figured it had to be the pads in the seats themselves, so I ordered some replacements online for ~$150 and blocked out all of Saturday to get it replaced. I was shocked when it only took me and my father 1.5 hours start to finish to replace them. Super easy job, I recommend using a heat gun on the old pads to loosen the glue up on the foam and they will peel right off. Sure enough the element was burnt and broken.

Didn’t really DO anything yesterday except look at the dash and noticed this… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

 

or “these” depending on whether you’d consider this 1 problem or two. 🤪

Ouch, I bet those are soldered onto the circuit board too.

No you just have to unsolder and resolder in the lights to the circuit board. Don't need to replace the whole unit

Pretty easy to swap out.

Why is that thing only ~$100 and a replacement HVAC control panel for 1996 Tahoe is twice that. 😂

It says its $77 off who knows. Prices on everything are all over the map.

Why did they charge me 250 to ship my center console?

But free shipping on a underseat storage unit. 

The supply chain bs is getting old too.

Does anyone have any experience installing these on their trucks?

I have a pair that I've had for almost a year now just haven't gotten around to installing them. If any of you have, how did you mount them?

Yeah i pretty much figured it would be a whole unit unplug and plug in the new one type o thing.   Thank you for the link kind sir!

yeesh.... I've been rewiring a few of my guitars the last month or so, so i'm definitely up on my soldering technique haha but i'll pull the unit and see what they are and if it's worth the hassle before I order one.  I almost feel like if TWO surface mount LEDs or lights can go on this one, others are likely to follow. so maybe a fresh unit would be the way to go.

      Fluid Change Questions

      I know; crap pictures.   Anyway, as a finale of sorts to this thread, I had replaced both differential covers and since they had the capability of adding temperature probes, I did that. These are MaxTow analog/digital gauges with stepper motors. They'll flutter around like crazy for a moment and start at a nominal 100 degrees Fahrenheit.   I drove a 30-mile loop to the grocery store, averaging 70 MPH (as much as 80 to see if there was a quick spike in temperature. The air temperature is 102 (ambient ?). but the first pic is 7 miles into the trip. The second is getting back into the truck after leaving the store; differential temperatures dropped about three to four degrees in 15 minutes. The third pic in on the road to my house, about a mile away.   In that run, I saw a high of 150F on the rear differential, and 121F on the front. I'm sure a longer drive or towing will see higher than that, and when that happens, I can update the observations.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Fully warm, coolant temp >194, closed loop.   Run time can be anywhere from just reached operating temperature to having driven 30+ miles.   The O2 chart (which is a feature I just discovered after reading) for the bad idle seems to be "most" of the time. For the little time I've been watching it (scanning and driving! watchout!) I can't seem to isolate any cause or condition yet.   It definitely idles rougher sometimes than others and so far what I've seen is the rougher idles are always rich. But not enough to set a CEL.   In other news I replaced the starter solenoid. Everything on this truck is such a PITA. Starter "snout" is mangled up with the torque converter inspection cover which is tangled up with hard cooling lines and the driveshaft. But I got 'er done without too much swearing...I just go into everything now knowing it's going to be a frustrating mess.   The starter solenoid replacement kicks off the next round of work: AC, injector rebuild, cat, exhaust. I'm just going to do it all. But first:   I don't know what my fuel pressures are. I can't definitively say the issue is the injector without first verifying fuel pressures and any leakdown. I "rented" a test kit ($199.99 at O'Really's ...intentional misspelling). They don't "rent" tools anymore, they charge you for the tool and then you return it when you're done. No joke. It is listed as a rental on the receipt but the guy told me there's no difference between renting and buying  now, you just return it when you're done and they refund the credit card. Mmmkay, whatever.   I will rule out fuel pressure issues (too much), and any leaking (that's how I'll know the problem is inside the intake). I think someone said the return line could be plugged or not flowing and that could cause high fuel pressure (and too much fuel being pushed through injectors). I'll cross that bridge if I get high readings.   As of now I'm ready to tear off the intake cover, extract the injector, and have it sent off to be rebuilt just so I can rule that out.

      What are the conditions of this rich idle? Warm or cold engine? Run time? Does every idle look like this or only sometimes?
