Has anyone ever added safety packages after they already own it. I would really like to have lane departure  and front and rear notifications. I understand my mirrors would be need to change. For blindspot but I don't need or want. Just thought the front  and rear notifications would help in a busy parking lot. Just asking I just got the truck

thanks in advance

you need front windsheild cam for lane departure, lane keep, auto beams and adaptive cruise.  Hardware would be windsheild camera, windsheild, headliner harness, dash harness and switches.  Then for everything to work right you need programming if it can be done.  Rear cross traffic alerts is controlled by sensors in bumper step and I think that can be done.  front and rear park assist are the 4 circles on front and rear bumper there is a module that controls.

Thanks for the quick response. That helps a great deal. Ahh, Then I will go look at aftermarket or leave it alone. Just got it and already looking to upgrade it LOL 

Thanks again

i got addicted to upgrading. i added oem memory seat, power fold, cooled seats, heated rear seats, 360 vision, high country cluster, hud, video rear view mirror and power up down tailgate.  i already had cross traffic and park assist. i may try some day to see if it is possible to add windsheild cam i have some parts i am guessing some things will work partially but some custom programming will be needed if possible.

...you have to have decent chunk spent in doing all that, why not just buy an LTZ?. just curious

buying used parts to upgrade is cheaper than buying an ltz or hc.  had fun doing it. dont like chrome.  wanted white, hc only comes in pearl.

That would be fun. I will be looking into it. As for why I didn't get chevy is that they don't offer power passenger seats in any of their trucks so went with a GMC but ordered one but came in with less options then I wanted. So after waiting for a month for delivery. I took what they had to offer. It sucks trying to find and buy a new truck in today's market.

I have a 2021 Sierra Elevation. Is it possible to add memory seats to that truck? I also have the ior radio but want wireless Apple CarPlay. Do you know if that’s possible? Thanks

with ior radio probably not possible to add oem wireless carplay.  here is memory seats check your harness under seat to see if your body harness has all the pins if it does it will probably work doing what i did.

Where exactly would I check? there are two connectors going to the motors and two connectors going to the adjustment switches other than that the airbag connector...

Would love a detailed write up on adding this! I really wish I had the sunroof and around view option.

if someone can get me a part number on headliner harness from a T1 crew truck with windsheild cam i might consider trying.  the headliner harness plugs in under glove box.  there arent any at dealership for me to look at.

you need to check where seat harness connects to body harness. take side trim sheild off seat track and you should see that big connector.

The Lane assist Camera 84586312

The Headliner harness 84711898

not sure if that's the right harness, there are only two listed, one with vanity mirror and one without

I did and I cross referenced the pins to the GM electrical body builder guide and it seems to have all of the pins there.

 

I'm also wondering if I could just change the seat harness to the memory seat harness, I have power drivers seat and all leather already so I don't want to buy the whole seat...

The PN for the seat harness: 84513012 (With power, Without ventilated, With memory, Without haptic alert)

If I could just switch out that harness and add the memory module and buttons and such it would be way cheaper and easier.

    • Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.
    • Better than stock but that's like putting lipstick on a pig
    • Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks, 
    • Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.   
    • So, lot's of googling and reading, and a trial fit found, that indeed they hit the newer fatter caliper. I did some re-testing today, and found just 3/16" worth of washers was enough for the wheel to spin freely. I added 2 more on each, and again it spun freely. Tested lock to lock with the 4 washers, about 5/16" not quite the 3/8" Im considering, but pretty close. No issues. I've been looking at the BORA .375" spacers and using extended lugnuts to get back lost thread due to the spacer. All the ET lugs I've seen are all .33" reach inside the wheel lug holes. For those that don't like spacers or think they're unsafe, I think it depends on what type of spacers you're using and making sure you get good quality hubcentric ones, and if you're using bolt on ones, regular mainenance, checking the spacer lugs. Not wanting or needing that much spread. Looking for the minimum that will let me run these rims and tires.  it does look to stick out a little, but I really want put these on. and use the stock all-terrains in the winter.
