Are you still able to turn the fogs off separately?

No. The fogs are on anytime the parking lights are on in this case. You should theoretically be able to turn the fogs on alone, though, but I think the truck turns on the headlights as soon as the fogs are turned on.

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

I've used air shocks before, just don't get crazy with weight on them as the next weak link is the shock mount. Not that I experienced it with a GM, but ripped the mounts off a Ford Ranger and a Dodge 150...

When you turn the fogs on, your parking and head lights all come on. I use the fog light switch/button as my "one touch" way of turning on my headlights in the "Daytime Headlight Zones."

Does anyone know if you're able to to take off the stock seat cover (non leather)? I am thinking of putting one of the thin massage/heat inserts and have it under the cover, rather than have it always outside the seat. Thanks!

For anyone that wants to use vinyl over plastidip for their emblems hit up your local sign shop. They have a million different colors of vinyl and can even do prints. You might even be able to score scrap pieces for free. This is what I did on my Cruze. For the truck I went black plastidip with glossifier. Gives it a nice satin sheen. $5.86 for a can of plastidip.

 

Just use a plastic trash bag to tape off the area and try not to spray on a windy day. If you have any over spray just rub it off.

Made a docking station for my phone directly into the center console. It works with Android Auto.

Does it stay put if you make a sharp turn? I'd be afraid that the charging pins on the phone would take a beating.

I plan to beef it up with some rubber on each side to support the phone from rocking but so far I've had very little movement. I Dremelled the right angle USB-C connector to give it some tilt towards the backrest. The sub under the console supports the connector.

      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.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.
