^ what he said. Have been waiting to test something that hopefully will work its been a bit challenging with the difference in bus standards between the vehicles that got 10" units and our trucks.

Anyone try using the Stinger High10?  Just saw this video, they are making this 10" screen work in a 2020 Silverado:

It's made for an older chevy, but it looks like this custom shop is getting it to work?  Anyone tried this route?? Anyone know of dash bezels or a custom shop in Florida where I am at??  thanks

That's for an 08-11.  Not sure what the relevance is here.  I can also suggest some units that will work in a 72 Blazer though.

Rob they claim it works in a 2020 Silverado, not sure on your confusion as the YouTube i posted shows it mounted in a 2020, it's the first 10 inch screen I've seen or heard of that actually works in the new silverado.  I posted on here to see if anyone who has done this mod can share some more pictures of it working in a 2020.  Also following this thread to see if any other options become available, thanks

I dont believe fitting the screen is a issue. There are a few floating screens that look WAY better that fit. The issue im having is losing vehicle controls if i do switch the factory screen. Theres a product called maestro which allows you to still use factory vehicle controls with aftermarket screens but its not compatible with the new gmc/chevys yet. Maybe if everyone emails them asking for it we can get some new screens!!!

Keep us updated. I would like a bigger screen. I wouldn't mind seeing if wams gets the 10 inch Tahoe screen working, then we might could get the 13.4 inch screen working from the new ones.

why not just keep the old svreen and mount a second display? has anyone done this yet? if so did you splice the wires or is there a harness adapter for this yet?

Has anybody tried sourcing a 9" or 10" screen of the same format and same resolution?  That should be the easiest approach.  This is something I will be looking into at some point, but I have too many other mods on my list above it, so it will be awhile.  But it's easy to source these smaller screens now...you just need to make sure you get the same connector format (or one you can adapt) and the same resolution and then it's just a matter of physical fabrication to make it fit and look nice.

Welcome to the forum. Much easier said than done Kevin. No one has successfully done this mod without losing steering wheel controls function or loss of some radio functions. I will be watching and waiting for you to solve this problem.

 

Please let us know when you have conquered this mod and exactly how you did it.

this guy put a bigger one in but idk if he retained the controls but he left the origianal screen so idk why not.

I tested a 10" tahoe screen plugs matched. Parts of it worked.  Tahoe is global b tech our trucks are global a.  So I tested a CT6 screen, I think I had to modify power plug, parts of it worked.  This is CT6 is global a, I sent a Cadillac CT6 screen to WAMS so they could test.  I believe WAMS has figured how to rework the resolution the in radio.  So a switch to 10" with oem functions would involve a new radio box (right side of dash) or radio box programming.

I'd love to hear how this plays out.  I drive a '19 1500 LTZ, bought my wife a '21 Tahoe z71, and damn I do like that screen and setup.  The CT6 screen, I'm assuming it's similar to the Tahoe screen? Still a fair amount of fab required to make it look decent in the dash opening, right?  Getting to the point where I keep everything as is and just keep enjoying my truck, and I'll just get the new stuff when I go to a 24 or 25 HD truck. BUT, I see hyou did the 2021 WAMS upgrade for wireless android...how challenging was that?  Wouldn't mind getting the video rear view as well, if it's not a nightmare to upgrade.

Funny, putting the modular Pioneer DMH-WC6600NEX in my 57 Chevy BelAir seemed like a pain in the neck (still not done), but it's just fabbing up some parts to make it fit under the speaker cover in the dash and pop up.  Having to mess with all the systems and controls on a new car is a nightmare!

Oh well, looks like I'll never find out...picked up a 24 Silverado HD 2500 yesterday, Midnight edition, LTZ with everything I could put on it including the diesel.  The interior is light years better.

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

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
