Added a neodymium magnet to the steering column to hold the key fob still. $18 and a piece of double sided tape. The fob sticks right to it and does not bang around any more.   The magnets were

Thank you Pgamboa for posting the photo! You can grab a set here! http://www.ebay.com/itm/322214207376

 

You can play videos on your Mylink in park or you can get a video in motion *I did* from a vender here called MVI. It is a simple plug and play.

By far the best one for me so far was sticking a paint stick under the throttle.

 

Incase your not aware....

Move your throttle with your hand and watch the throttle assembly. For many of us it's so loose that we have 1/2 inch of throttle travel before it actually does anything. Stick something behind the assembly and throttle response is much better.

Phillips 921 LED / T16 (12789LPB2) Bright White Vision LED - 2 pack. You'll need 2 packs for a total of 4 bulbs.

Phillips 194 Bright White Interior for the License Plate bulbs - 2 pack.

Personally, I didn't like the Philips. The light was whiter, but not brighter since there are no LED pieces on the distal tip in the bulb. I ordered the JDM white LED lights and love them for reverse lights. I can see so much farther and behind and around the sides backing up. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND USING THE JDM BULBS!! For bed lighting, I ended up just using the Phillips bulbs since I already bought them and didn't want to piss the money away. I don't use that overhead lamp much, so the Phillips work well enough. The Phillips license plates lights look good too.

So for the Phillips license plate lights, which version of the 194s do I need? Amazon has 194 and also 194 / T10.

 

I am looking to replace those, as well as the bed light with LEDs.

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
