I think once all the windows are retrofitted with the correct motors/regulators, new switch and programming, I think it can be done :)

Phil, I may be wrong but I think the 2019 just has a switch that lowers them all (just like the fob feature on the 2018) but not up. I would just like the auto down with an interior switch, like maybe even one of the 3 garage door switches. Yes I am being lazy...I could just hold down all 4 switches (would be a PITA) and they would all go down. I haven't tried it but what happens if I hold the unlock button on the fob while I am driving? would the auto down work?

Okay @pgamboa (Phil only tagged ya so you’d read this lol) I was following a C7 today and every time he hit his brakes, the turn signals in his mirrors also lit up. Now I’d never seen this before and thought hummm if anyone can figure this out it will be Phil :thumbs: Have you seen this before or have I been living under a rock?? I know they light up with hazards but it would be kind of sweet if they also came on with brakes. His also blinked with turn signal while the other stayed on with brakes. Of course I’m not sure the actual light source would be able to handle the extended use time that the brake lights are used to. Feasible??

Ive seen this on instagram as-well on a gmc 1500 seemed like he had them on as kind of a running light also blinked to indicate turn. I would also like to know how its done.

The red ones in the mirror itself? I thought it was pretty neat!

Yeah the red arrows, looks cool! I think it would look even better with the tow mirrors!

My guess (without digging deeper) is a diode from the Stop Lamp to the turn signal.

For the running light as a turn signal, I’ve actually designed a PnP dual function running light/turn signal adapter for those that have fully functioning tow mirrors and want to have the running lamp work as a turn signal as well.

Yes please...cost and difficulty level please? I was actually going to email Phil about this, and he already had a solution. Nice.

      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.
