Having problems with fitment. I bolt the hud using the tab coming out of the dash and made hole for the other mounting point like suggested in this thread.  When I go to put the dash back on it doesn’t let me set it back as far as it should. These spots are hitting before the dash can sit where it’s supposed to be. It seems the hud needs to be pushed further towards the firewall but if I do that I won’t be able to reach the dash mounting point. Any clues or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

You have to lower your hud, you will loose you diver defrost vent in order to lower it, and that will still not be enough, that plastic ridge will need to go along with the dash foam to make it look like this..1eaa7ecc37bc9eaa3b77e8084ee297af.jpg

You will also have to modify your speaker tray and your speaker cowl..d73270c4d8e7d8c909ab71cd43a3424d.jpg

If you can manufacturer the hood for the heads up display, I would be interested in it.

Anyone try this on a 2021 silverado? My dealer said it cannot be done. If not has anyone used a aftermarket HUD?

Your right, Since I just bought a 2021 silverado 6.2 4X4 I just do not know if I already want to tear it up yet with this detailed MOD. I am sure 2015 vs 2021 trucks are not even the same. To bad the MOD is not just a drop in upgrade. Only other choice is aftermarket. I just do not know which one works the best. I have seen some online and with reviews, there are many available.

The MOD looks nice, I am sure older trucks vs 2021 trucks are not even the same. To bad the MOD is not just a drop in upgrade. Since I just bought the 2021 this week. Hard decision to already tearing it up for a HUD. Only other choice is aftermarket. I just do not know which one works the best. I have seen some online and with reviews, there are many available.

@cva617680 since this is a factory option, this shouldn't be too difficult to add depending on how mechanically inclined your are and how much money you're willing to spend.  I assume all you should need is the HUD unit, up-level cluster (if you don't already have it), HUD switch, HUD dash cover/hood, instrument cluster bezel, wiring and programming.  I don't know if @pgamboa has made a harness for this for the T1s like he did for the K2s but if he hasn't, purchase the dash harness for a pickup that has HUD and at least the same options that you currently have.  WAMS offers programming for the up-level instrument cluster so that shouldn't be difficult. 


Reach out to Phil for the potential harness at:

https://harnessdr.com/

 and Chris for the programming at:

Source the needed parts using a VIN from a pickup that already has HUD and go from there.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.

      Poll: Does your truck have the rear window leak?

      By ShotgunZ71 · Posted

      Glad you had success with it. I did as well, but about 5-6 months later it returned. Tried again, same result. This was after the dealer made several attempts and never even got it to slow down.

      Will not stay in Reverse

      By TheGeek · Posted

      I have a LTZ and it has the shifter in the console, which I like, but, every now and then, it will not stay in Reverse. I go through all the motions, hold the button in, push the shifter forward and watch the dash.  The big red R comes on and also the back up camera.  Then, it just pops out of Reverse with the shifter all the way forward.  So then the game begins.  Back and to Drive, Reverse.  This goes on 8 - 10 times. Very frustrating. Had it back to the dealer and they replaced some kind of computer, but it is now happing again. It is so bad, my wife will not drive the truck, she is afraid of being stuck somewhere.    Anyone else with this PIA problem?

      I see where you’re going and I can appreciate that. Statistics can be misleading because of the word average. They say statistics show the average cost of a new vehicle is about 50k. The average monthly payment is close to 1000 dollars a month. That’s statistics for you. I know very few people who pay that.
