Marv,

 

is your display factory? I have the smaller non-touch but the $1,000 price tag to upgrade will be going to headers or a nice projector headlight.... I really like the sub box though. Great work sir. 

Thanks Donolie and yes it is the factory display however I would give up the touchscreen in a second if I could have steering wheel controls as frequently while trying to change stations etc I will hit a bump causing me to touch the wrong area or miss the screen altogether! Btw, in case you weren't aware you have to cut out a section inside the dash where the module slides in if you want to install an aftermarket headunit  which is something I definitely wasn't willing to do!

This is what it looks like now and future plans after the audio system are to lower it a couple of inches more using drop spindles up front and lowering springs in the rear, upgrading shocks and strut

I added the DeeZee Tailgate assist and I'm in the process of converting the tailgate to automatically drop open remotely from the factory key fob using instructions I found on the forum here

I really live your OEM factory display but I have three fancy buttons that I've yet to figure out what they do plus the steering wheel controls, but best of all the 200mph speedo so it must be the button on the far right that will get it up to 200mph. looks like a truck on a slight downgrade with a speedo.

I was being sort of facetious, but the button on the far right, hill assist? Not sure what it's purpose is, you turn it on, I don't notice anything besides a green symbol and when you go over 5mph it will say ''for ___ to work reduce speed below 5mph" So far, nothing has allowed me to go 200 mph or turn off DRL :P or stop 'service trailer brake' from dinging 20 minutes of my 50 minute commute.

That higher speedo and the non-disableable DRLs tell me this was a Canadian spec truck. 

 

The mystery button is downhill accent control- basically low speed cruise control.

Met up with Brandon aka Nasty from the forum here this morning and swapped his jump seat for my console at the request (insistence!) of my wife just in case we ever need to get 3 in my truck when her car wasn't available...

Those wheels. Is the chrome/stainless actual plating or a wheel skin / wheel cover? 

 

Love this project BTW. :thumbs:

Thanks Grumpy! I read they are actually something called chrome clad which I was not familiar with and  basically appears to be a skin permanently attached to the steel wheel. I sold  those when I got the new wheels since I didn't have room to store them but I am trying to find another set and while searching I found they make a similar looking aftermarket skin/hubcap for the standard steel wheels.

I've seen nothing but the 'skins' local and began thinking the clad was just a dream. 

When I sold mine there were numerous sets of the identical tires/wheels on Craigslist so I ended up letting them go pretty cheap. Now that I am looking for another set there are none available within the 100 mile radius I am searching and the couple of sets I found online would cost nearly double what I sold mine for once you add in shipping!

Awesome. I've been looking into adding some mids into my dash as my 2015 sierra didn't come with any for some reason but haven't found a whole lot on the subject. Would love to hear how these turn out.

I could be considered a bit biased since I am a Hybrid Audio Technologies Kit dealer :) however I will also be installing these in forum member Nasty''s truck soon and will ask him to give his honest impression.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
