If you asked the question before you bought the truck, I would have said spend the extra 5 or 6K and get a 2500

This is also a very good point...as it is the HD trucks are much more "suited" for a lift, and are already "lifted" in a sense from the factory, not to mention they usually have better gearing to deal w/ the massive tires and the power is already ample (w/ more on tap from a simple tune)

  At a certain point(maybe not now for you), i just replace them with an OEM part. My opinion is that it will pay for itself in better fuel economy than relying on one that got cleaned with a spray.

  I know the upfitter switch deal well; my truck didn't have it, so in one day I retrofitted/wired the kit, and since I knew I'd have several panels off, I did the same day a High Country cluster, and console charging/cooling. That charger cooling tube was the worst part of the deal. The gauges are MaxTow. I don't need an iDash, as the HC cluster has all that information, and I'm using the OBD for a pass-through for the Intellihaul cameras? or the GM dash camera?, anyway. I'm ending up going under the hood to the fuse box. I identified constant hot/switched hot/illumination and have some piggyback taps in. Just waiting for an 4-wire 18-gauge cable to come in the 29th to finish. I already ran the sensors, and have the gauges/pod mounted. If I could've found what I needed on the fuse panel by the light switch, they'd be up and going.

  Good question. Most to all of what I hear in internet land is to have 212 trans temp to boil off the water. That`s where my earlier comment was coming from.

  I popped mine out several weeks ago and cleaned it with CRC MAF Sensor cleaner. 53k miles and probably had never been cleaned.

  No. Idea. That's just where GM set it to. Why? 🤷‍♂️
