Have a 2019 Silverado Custom and have done a ton of mods in the year I’ve had it. Fog Lights, Center Console, Steering Wheel etc. Just bought an 8” Audio Radio Control Panel on ebay from a LTZ and all the plugs fall in place except 2 which I believe are for the actual display and USB (I can listen to audio) but screen is blank and radio controls don’t work). Has anybody tried this mod or know if there is any kind of harness adaptor?

I want to know where this leads. I’m sure there’s a solution, seems like there’s a lot you can do with these new truck to upgrade things here and there down the line. Maybe get into contact with White Automotive, they specialize in programming and the electronics of these truck so they might have some clues.

to me it appears for a after market  Radio  swap (screen only might not be as big of a deal but would still require resolution changes in stock firmware ) A after market manufacturer would have to build a Device to control the  Trucks settings that are tired to the radio and  have the ability to push them to a  Android or  (EWWW) Apple  Application for the front end (user input )  side of the  swap out...  

 

I  have some knowledge with micro devices and its difficult with totally open source hardware and software. With the hardware of these trucks  proprietary and the only small amounts of the  software side  open source . This would be a big undertaking In my  Kinda educated Opinion.  to add on top that most people  like myself with the IOR  Radio would rather just keep the Truck simple with the lest amount of things to go wrong as possible. only a few people would be willing to pay the money... My Truck works for its payments Every day .... and i need it reliable .

yeah i did hear another guy familiar with this stuff say it would be possible but that it would be ALOT of work and expensive

i had the IOU or IOT in my 2500 ( premium w/o nav) and now am back to IOR....there is a few things i miss but i dont think i would pay a ton of money to get them back.....radio and phone in the DIC mainly 

 

I had power mirrors as well and those things seemed like they were gonna crap out every day, had to reset them twice......so simple may not be bad thing

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
