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.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By RSTRICK · Posted

      I have a 2024 Chevy Silverado 2500 with the 6.2 liter engine, Vin: 2GC4YME79R1273849, with 27,437 miles. Recently we took a trip from Candor, NY to Townsend, TN pulling our fifth wheel, when I got close to the Townsend, TN area The truck gave me a message of low oil. I checked the dip stick and found it was 2 quarts low. Today, August 27, 2026, I had the oil changed and the technician Found the truck was very low on oil.  Is there a Recall for this? What is my recourse for this issue? Do I call the dealer where I bought it or any chevy dealer?   Robert Strickland 292 Owego Road Candor, NY 13743 352-502-6588 [email protected]

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That is the funnel kit I bought and for being here in Canada I did get a better deal than what other sources were charging through a certain supplier in town that sources more directly and they ordered it for me. There are other items now on the market which would be perfect as well but this has worked well which was the hope when I bought it. I mentioned the Amsoil quart bottles as they have that squarish shape up top and it props nicely on the rim of the opening without falling into the funnel so I can leave them sit and drip a bit. You may have already figured out that to get the cap off the valve cover unless one is 7 + feet tall its not going to be reached without standing on a step of some sort and so when I do that I put the right adapter in and just leave the elbow on the funnel all the time anyway and open the lid and then if using quart containers for sure I can stand beside the truck and leisurely add the oil, and I can leave that funnel on when starting the engine to let it idle to fill the filter and then add the rest of the oil to top it up before removing the funnel and putting the factory cap back on. I put the cap back on the top and slide the bottom cap on as it fits onto the elbow adapter also and then store the funnel in a clean household plastic garbage bag along with the adapter so I have no reason to be washing out the inside of the funnel as I keep it completely clean between uses.    Draining the oil as per the under the truck portion, yes indeed that is slick as someone was thinking on GM's part there and admittedly I don't drop the oil screaming hot in this truck due to the exhaust being there and makes it safer as far as the oil temp if its just warmed up some instead as I don't have the truck on any ramps etc as I do it as the tires sit on the garage floor. The filter is not boiling hot then either and can drop it off into another pail after pulling the drain plug and just leave it drip out. Go back under a few hours later with new filter in hand and clean off the filter base and put the new filter on and install the drain plug. The filter is a little cramped in there as per wrapping ones hand around the filter and I am so used to using the band style filter removal tool that its no big deal and same for snugging it up. My filter wrench is many years old now but I think this is the current version and sounds like the right size, just in case my explanation was not great ( those nylon strap wrenches that one tool fits all filters are not my favorite tool to use, I much prefer this style personally )     57020 Swivel Gripper - No Slip Filter Wrench - Small | Lisle Corporation   And again about the oil draining and filter setup under these GM trucks, I've watched Ford videos of them struggling with oil flying sideways out of the oil pan on the gas 7.3 due to the sideways drain plug onto other components or cross members and guys trying to make shields out of carboard etc and other Ford pickups that Ford insisted they have sideways drain plugs. One win for GM there anyway with this engine.

      Kind of off topic, wife drives a 2023 Yukon Denali with the 3.0, been a great rig so far, incredible fuel economy for a truck that big and heavy. Coming up on 50000 trouble free miles.

      Valvoline R&P Fuel System Cleaner

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I`m gonna try some of this in my 2000 LM7 that has had the famous piston slap since 17,000 miles or so. I have used Mopar combustion chamber cleaner down the spark plug holes a few times in the past. Corrects the problem for a few months or so. Then returns. GM top engine cleaner has been used also. No good results from this.   This LM7 never used oil. Even running the piss out of it.   Course, I`m gonna use this in my 2025 L84 while it`s still clean. It`s got 13,000 miles. Used Chevron fuel system cleaner [2 bottles in tank] a tank or 2 ago.
