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

Where did you buy it?

I got it on eBay. The only reason it was so cheap is because the stitching was discolored so I took resolve and scrubbed it with a tooth brush and it looks brand new

Replaced both engine and cabin filters with the k&n filters. $41 for cabin and 45 for engine. I also bought my car. Who would think a 15 Civic si would be more for the engine filter (52) vs the truck.. very quick install though. The engine one gave me a little issue cause I couldn’t pull the old out with just 3 screws undone easily (fourth I couldn’t reach well with my screwdriver and didn’t wanna find a long one)

fcc0c5b319fbfcfe9e3081480b6234fa.jpg added a OEM high country leather wrapped cluster visor to my truck. Alittle over $50 but close to it. I enjoy it and it lets you add whatever color leather you want.

I'm not the one who posted the mod but I can tell you that the cover just pops off (it's held in with 4 clips).  Just grab under it and carefully pry up until it pops.  If you have a trim removal tool kit that helps to keep from breaking the plastic studs that the metal clips are mounted to but if not just pull up carefully.

Just did this mod today (only took a couple of minutes and a 99 cent diode) and hopefully it helps with the crappy picture quality from my backup camera at night.

Does anyone know how to make the stock back up camera come on whenever you want it to? My next question is how to make the back up camera on the Intella Haul come on faster. Currently they have a 7 second delay, per GM, plus, every time to are backing up, and need to adjust, and take it out of gear, the back up camera for IH, shuts down, and you have to wit another 7 seconds. VERY AGGRAVATING!

 

I added a switch to my aftermarket radio back up camera on my Avalanche, but, this is a little different...

So what if I have not had WAMS unlock it? Still feed it full time power, and put a switch in line? What about the Intella Haul cameras?

I'm not sure but I remembered Phil saying he could pull the camera anytime he wanted so I went back and looked for that post. Phil also has his HMI unlocked.

Phil Gamboa?
Yes. Look for the thread about what mod we want Phil to figure out next, in there he talks about pulling the camera anytime.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
