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 to@pgamboa for all his help and his perfect custom PnP harness. Also with any questions he answered within minutes. Am very happy with how they turned out. Also got him to do the key fob fold in/fold out mod for me :)147583e0184bdc6d568e9e1846ff5a81.jpg

Was the swap very difficult?

No pictures here.....installed the front sway bar to rid myself of awful Electric Power steering Feel....It deadens the feel substantially.  You can still feel it but it's half as light/loose now!

Did the Cluster swap the other day and now have a Denali Cluster in my 2016 Silverado LT. I like it! Now to figure out how to change the aqua LEDs to red. Then this truck will be a true Redline Edition [emoji23]

I want to know how to switch my aquas to red if you figure it out. I used photography gel to change my map/ dome lights to red but that was the extent of it.

wouldn't you just have to change the surface mount LEDs on the dash?  it's soooooo simple.  i did it to my 14 (red to blue) and it looks so much better.  my experience doing this kind of thing can best be summed up with this statement...  i had to go buy a soldering gun to do this... never done anything like it before.

 

i got my LEDs from oznium.com

The swap was not difficult at all. More nerve racking taking apart a 2 year old truck. Just take your time, watch@pgamboa video 50 times and you should be good. Honestly took me around 6 hours for both sides including breaks and stuff. I would definitely do the swap if you are thinking about it!

That is damn cool, nice work!

I am referring to the aqua colored lights behind the hvac and behind the lights/ transfer case switch which is what I believe pgamboa is talking about.

ok - those are 'easy' to change... i covered the white LEDs with blue lighting 'gels'

 

i "blued" out all of the white LEDs.  eventually i'd like to replace all the white LEDs with blue LEDS, but for now, the blue gels are doing a great job....

 

the final 3 pics show a before/after of the entertainment controls with the LEDs covered in the blue gel (filament) - but it's the same idea with the hvac controls.  i found it was easier with the knobs to put the gel inside the knob as opposed to covering the LED - i just use double sided clear tape to hold the gel in place

The “easiest” way to go to the red is look on eBay for hvac controls from a Sierra. Chevy used blue while gmc used red. I believe they changed up the gmc to blue for 17 though.

I was actually doing that today. I had about 45 seconds of free time when that ended. Lol

So are the LEDs themselves white? What makes the blue/red illumination? Is it the lens cover itself?? This is interesting.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.
