Very interested in that headlight switch mod, I was just about to mount two micro switches by mine to run a couple of other lights.

Are you looking to tie both sets of lights to the one switch?

I have two different auxiliary circuits I was going to run (my truck doesn't have fog lights) so I like the look of two extra switches in the headlight switch.  I know a lot of the factory switching though is sending momentary signal to the bcm so I don't know that it would work anyway. One circuit needs constant ground to work and the other needs a constant 12V, not momentary.  

 

Oh and I wish there was a way to dim the factory radio at night more than the dimmer wheel does.

Is there a way to make the power seats a single press button, rather than having to hold it down?  Like my other GM vehicle or any other one on the market?

 

I'd pay a few bucks for that.  :sigh:

Lighting. Using the extra Off Road Light Button on the OEM Switch to drive a set of lights.
 
I have very little interest on HUD (right now) due to programming, hardware needed, modification to get things to physical fit, etc.
 
The Instrument Panel Switch, I’m looking to use the extra (non-optioned buttons) to drive other things. One idea - to switch between a rear camera and a front camera input. Since my HMI is unlocked, I can pull the the rear camera anytime. Would be nice to switch that camera to a front camera like when parking.
 
The new buttons would take on the AUX 1 / AUX 2 caps.

How did you unlock the HMI? Does it ruin warranty?

Sent it off to Whiteautoandmedia.com.

Warranty? I don’t know. :).

Quick question about your Camera . I also had W.A.M.S Unlock My HMI , Is there something else that needs to be done to the camera  ?

When I hit the camera icon on the touch screen it switches to a blue screen & says camera error , Unless I put it in Reverse first , than the

camera stays on for about 20 seconds countdown in the upper right corner & then goes Blue screen ...

Yes. You have to feed it power all the time. Right now, the power of fed from the reverse trigger signal. Let me look at this and get back to you.

 

PM on it.

The damn seatbelt in my way truck is way louder and i have no idea how to quiet it

There are other threads on this so do a search and you will find lots of info.  I recommend getting 1 or 2 of these:

Just get the 3" Rigid in the color to match your trim.  You can leave it plugged in all the time and still latch/unlatch your seatbelt easily.

That's a lot of wiring!

 

Keep us informed.  I want to do something similar but a little simpler (just drive an extra set of LED lights off the additional button on the lower right of the headlight knob).

      J&L OIL SEPARATOR CO

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Just did an injector/HPFP replacement on Pepper at 192,400 miles; close enough to 200K, RIGHT? (If 200K is considered life end and to me it isn't). But hey, to each his own.    Have never run a catch can on this vehicle. Back side of every valve looked like a new valve spray painted semigloss black. Port walls looked 'neat' (all a normal result of passive EGR via VVT) Zero build up even in AFM cylinders. Just color. It uses no measurable oil and never has.    At 155,000 I put her on E-85 and a borescope of the cylinders at plug change showed very clean pistons and valve faces. The replaced injector tips looked new. (It was the pump piston seal that was leaking). Oh well, have six good backups.    Still gets 28 mpg on gas (highway average) and over 20 (highway) on alky. UOA's look good and runs as good now as it did when I bought it. Better in fact.    What improvement would a Catch Can provide this motor?     And given all this I expect that IF I installed one I'd see some water/gas/oil vapor accumulation. Byproducts of normal combustion.   Having said that, IF my motor used an appreciable amount of oil I'd consider it a useful 'crutch' until I had the situation corrected OR if bore polished, until I junked it or rebuilt it to stave off repeated plug fouling.    I'm not telling you what I THINK. But what its DONE.

      Starting a new thread regarding mounting my 2014 OEM wheels to my 2026

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Love the look. I'm a SCSB lover myself.    Two items. 1.) A spacer changes scrub radius but this also changes when we use wheels of different offsets. A little isn't a big deal. 2.) Steel wheels, alloy wheels all have different thickness. Same effect on the stud and lug nut as a spacer. When hub centric the wheel isn't supported by the stud. It's supported by the hub. The stud just keeps it all together.

      2016 Sierra 5.3L L83 new injectors now runs rich.

      By JAI3 · Posted

      I had a evap sol go bad a couple weeks ago. . I replaced it.  While watching live data at the time I saw I had some cylinder 1 misfires. No MIL but on live data I could see ~50 at startup and about 70 more after an hour a drive all on cyl 1.  I also noticed that the LTFT were -5% to -15% always.  And that bank 2 is always -3% richer than bank 1. Even across all driving modes, city, highway, etc it’s always 3% richer than bank 1. So I start with the misfire. Swapped coil, plug, and plug wires from 1 to 3. No follow. I got an Injector reseal kit, pulled the D/s injector rail, swapped #1 and #3 injectors, resealed them, reinstalled and retested.  The misfire followed to 3. So I ordered and replaced all 8 injectors, spark plugs, and plug wires. Also replaced the 1 time use fuel pipes under the intake manifold.  Injectors that were in the truck since new were  Part # 12668390.  I replaced them with # 12742701 Got from RockAuto. Pretty certain they’re genuine and the correct ones. I called a friend at a parts store who told me “the 12742701 were the correct superseded part # for the originals I was replacing”. So started truck after replacing all that and it’s running -15 - -30 LTFTs. I reset the fuel trims with GDS2 and drove it for a 60 miles trip each way. There have been no changes in the LTFTs.  I checked if the HPFP was leaking into the crankcase. I removed the pvc and watched the trims. No difference.  I checked the alcohol content and it was at 10%  I’m out of ideas here. Truck seems to run great. Just always rich on the fuel trims.  Anyone with any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.  I ran an injector balance test just for the heck of it and it came back this. I’m confused.  I have gds2 and some other diag tools if anyone knows of anything I should test next.
