Hi all. I just picked up my 2016 double cab WT last night. After driving around for a couple of hours I'm already looking to upgrade the radio. Searching the web this morning I came across Radio-upgrade.com. Price seems to good to be true. Anyone on here try them? Only review I could find was on Ram truck forum. It was a good review. But I'd love to know if anyone on here has installed one.

Which RPO radio do you currently have. The IOB radio has different wiring that some of these radio companies are still needing to address.

That does look clean. I'd imagine that would be a PIA to actually hook up.

 

Not sure exactly why you feel the need to upgrade though. There's a small lag but nothing crazy.

This looks sweet. Mine has the big screen with bluetooth, back up cam, etc... but no navigation. I have emailed them to see if their unit will work for me. I would love to have the Mirror-Link!! We'll see what they say.

I'm very interested to know more about this myself. I have a W/T with the standard radio with factory back up camera. I'd like to upgrade the sound with an amp and replacement speakers and this head unit to increase the size. The Nav would be a plus.....From what I can tell, it should be plug and play as advertised, I would need to pick up the adapter for the rear camera though...I'd love to hear more about this...Rich

Wow they make this for vehicles that don't even exist.

Vehicles Supported:

Chevy Silverado 1500 2500 3500 2014, 2015, 2016
Chevrolet Avalanche 2014, 2015, 2016 :confused:
Chevrolet Suburban 2014, 2015, 2016
Chevrolet Tahoe 2014, 2015,

 

If I knew that Chevrolet actually made the Avalanche after 2013 I wouldn't have just ordered a 2016 Silverado 1500.

This makes me suspicious of their claims.

I got a one word response.....

 

Yes.

 

No other explanation but it looks like I will need an extra adapter to use my factory back up cam. Also noticed a Chevy guy having a bit of trouble with his install on their Facebook page. Think I will just observe a bit longer and see how his works out.

Yep...I noticed several other things that make me leary as well.

What I'd be curious of is if you can download apple CarPlay. Seems like it's set up like a mbile computer of sorts. I may be wrong though, out with the wife now and just opened this thread and your links, so haven't had chance to look.

 

I'll email them about apple CarPlay download.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      Getting greedy...   The AC pump has been replaced at least once per service records, and it's been recharged twice since 2018 or so, in approximately 2 year intervals between those charges.   It was done at the same shop...clearly they were enjoying the revenue of recharging the system periodically versus actually tracking down and fixing the leak. I learned that the owner was 88 years old when she passed in 2023, so maybe they assumed only a temporary fix was needed anyway.   The system is basically empty now, the compressor spins freely, so I'm guessing it "just needs a recharge".   I vacuumed it down, and it has basically held overnight. Doesn't appear to leak under vacuum, check! So it must leak under pressure. I don't have a way to pressurize the system and pressurizing it with shop air wouldn't be great for the air dryer (which is probably toast anyway?)   The dryer (accumulator? I'm not an AC expert) has a Schrader valve, but the high side has an old ball-type valve, which are notorious for leaking. It's clearly had schmutz blown out of it at one point because the line/area next to the valve is coated old black crud, which I assume is AC refrigerant residue/oil, or maybe even dirty dye. I think I'll roll the dice and replace the valves. I have a black light around here somewhere so I'll find it and shine it around the engine bay in the dark to see if there's any dye.   I can't think of another way to track down the leak other than injecting some dye (if it doesn't have any) and having it charged up. We can't buy R134a off the shelf here anymore, so I'll run it up to Jiffy Lube and have them do it. I think I have a coupon. At the very least, the charge should last long enough for a year or two, according to history. I think this truck will be long gone by then. But cold AC is a selling point.

      6.2L L87 Powertrain Engine Noise (Lifter Failure) Question

      By clowe1243 · Posted

      Got the truck back today.  Called them yesterday to get an update, and miraculously my truck is finished?!?! The $13k out the door was complete bullshit!  Ended up being over $14k.  They added some bullshit service bulletin that I cant even find, where they replaced my radiator without telling me or asking me, and charging me for it.  Need to do more research into it, cause they leaked the first delivered radiator was ran over by FedEX.  Sounds like bullshit to me. 2.5 Months for an engine swap, which ended up being remanufactured, not new; ****ing ridiculous.  Brakes are squishy as hell, not sure if its from sitting.  Will give a couple days to see it that figures it self out.  GAVE IT BACK TO ME WITH 1 GALLON OF GAS!  Just filled the tank the day before drop off, more bullshit.  My dash cam SD card was formatted, not really much I can do about that. 3 year, 100k GM warranty at least.  Time to sell it and say **** off to GM.  Bad experience.  Cant wait for the survey email to come through.  Overpriced Raptor R, here I come!

      If I forget the phone in the truck, and forget the truck in the phone, and reconnect.  It works great for the day.  Truck sits overnight, and the next day is a no go.  It will connect Android Auto via usb cable, but not bluetooth.   Ive tried Everything in this thread so far, and nothing works for more than a day.   I think I might have to go to the dealer and have them flash the pcm.   thanks for all the suggestions guys. 👍

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Bill Lemmond · Posted

      2022 2500HD Crew Z71 Duramax single alternator.  Recently had the primary (water pump / fan) belt tensioner pulley bearing to fail while hundreds of miles from home of course the plastic pulley melted and belt shredded which took out some wiring. Found a replacement tensioner assembly and belt to continue now would like to find a replacement for just the pulley and bearing to have a spare assembly in case of a repeat, the rest of the tensioner is fine. Has anybody here found a correct replacement part for just the pulley and bearing? Any help is appreciated.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Atlas · Posted

      +1 for the 3.0   Perfect for 1500 pickup towing duties.   Perfect engine for a 1500 pickup period. Huge torque at stunningly low RPM makes it feel a lot lighter than it is. The fuel mileage is insane for a tall and heavy 1500... 30+ on the highway. Mid 20's around town.   It's probably not perfect if you bought a 6.2 for the braaaaaaapppppp V8 noises and wrapping it out to 6k. The LZ0 acts and sounds like a small turbo diesel and there's nothing you can do to make a small turbo diesel sound like a big one, and you can't make an inline diesel sound like a V8 diesel/big Duramax. It's a different driving experience altogether.   Drive one, I think you'll like it, though...
