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.

Phil, how did you get the lighting blue?  Does it look like that everywhere including the radio screen?

Damn, I'm always one year off.  Do you have any idea if it's possible to change it?

Yes - you can change from red to blue... HVAC Controls, Radio Controls, Headlight Switch.

Cluster - if you get a 2016 Cluster, I’ve been told it can be back ported to 2015... BUT... you would have do a complete upgrade of HMI (2016 HMI, Radio module, cluster, USB hubs to support Apple Play).

That sounds rather expensive.  :(

Also remember that the HMI is responsible for what you see on the screen.

So you can start with just the illuminated Controls first.

Well, I have a video on how to start your truck without an HMI... but that’s nothing to brag about. That’s all I got. lol

Debating on adding HUD programming to Denali cluster I am getting programmed for my SLT. 

 

Sounds like no one has successfully completed a HUD retrofit / addition to K2XX trucks?

I'd be interested in the the tow mirror rear-facing LED's illuminating when the truck is actually in reverse.  Not tied to reverse lights since those come on when you unlock, and those mirror LED's are blinding to walk up on, but only when the truck is actually in reverse.  The rear view camera receives power if I read right when the truck is actually placed in reverse so maybe the cargo circuit could be tied to that?

I'd like the blind spot monitoring from the 19's :)

I wonder how different the 19's are from the outgoing hardware and program wise

      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.
