GM performance intake and color matched engine cover installed. That brings you up to date on all my mods over the last year. 6911caceff07da769c5984af91235f29.jpg

Here's mine. I have since added the blackout American flag overlay to it. Looks awesome and works good too.

What is a pedal commander

It improves throttle response.  Basically changes the voltage delivered to the throttle body from the pedal.

Have something similar on my 2010 ss, big difference when you turn it up.

Nice work so far! What other things do you have planned?

 

What did the center console cost you? I'm looking to do the same to my truck

Thank you!  I have LTZ headlights to put in, just need to get time.  Would also like to do the illuminated door handles with the switchback LEDs.  Going to get a spray in bed liner and maybe bilstein 5100's to lift the front.  Tint the front windows and new tires when these stock goodyears wear out.  Have a few interior lighting ideas I want to do also.

 

As far as the center console goes, i got it for $365 on ebay if I remember correctly.  It was a new take out, that was about a year ago.  I just finally got around to putting it in a few weeks ago.  I think the days of finding them cheap like that are gone.  That being said, I love the center console and would have gladly paid more for it. It's so much more useful than the jump seat.

I got mine from ebay.  You can order it from any gm parts website or dealer.  I painted mine.  It comes in gray from GM.  

 

Here's the part numbers you need.

Engine Cover:  Gm part number: 12643295  (2014 5.3 Silverado came with studs already in place for these covers)

Chevrolet Emblem: GM part number 12620295 

GMC Emblem:  GM part number 12620296

Studs:  GM part number 11611691 (some of the 5.3 engines do not have the studs 2014+) need 2 of these.

Part number is 22861304

It was easy just need to remove the plate on the underside of the lid. Then just unbolt the old handle and bolt up the new one.  I watched a video that @pgamboa made about swapping out the charging module.  At 6:15 in the video he talks about how to remove the cover.  Here's the link to the video.

      If there are updates/fixes you want, you could pay to have the updates applied by the dealer.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.
