I finally recieved my new DIC control panel. It took 3 minutes to install :lol: It's awsome. That was the world record for upgrades. I wonder why GM didn't just put it in, in the first place. :cheers: It doesn't make sense. The info is already there you just can't get to it with out the controller. oh well, Thanks to "Daddy" How'd you find that out anyways.

 

I saw the part online (I bought my truck back in December '06) and just decided to yank the panel off and see what was there. We got lucky on this one. I actually told the guy I bought mine from about the mod to help him sell more trucks and give guys who don't want to pay upfront, or aren't members of places like this, some better gear.

 

By the way I'll sell the old panel to any one who wants it. Or better yet we should all send them to GM's front door at the same time.

 

You find the address and I am in.

I originally tried to order my DIC panel from GMPartsDirect.com, but the site was unable to match the address I entered with the credit card address they "saw." They match, but I guess not 100% perfect. Even though an order will fail, they'll still charge your card and refund the money in a few days. That's dumb.

 

I said screw those guys and ended up getting mine from GMAccessoriesStore.com for $5 or $6 more. No biggie. I love all this new info the DIC shows! So far, the average fuel economy only reads .2 miles high. A great mod and big thumbs up.

Just did this myself. I won't say it's 100% easy though haha. It popped out alright but it was a pain to get it back in. The instructions say to remove basically most of the dash assembly and I can see why- the panels are curved on the ends and are designed to sit under the dash for a flush look. After a few minutes of fighting with it, I took the flathead and eased the corners in. Looks great and the avg fuel economy is a lil depressing though haha. About 92 shipped from gmaccessories.

Oh, it works, I also just got my new remotes for my factory remote start too. I think it was $160.00 can't remember cause it took almost a month to recieve from gmpartsdirect.com . I just have to find time to go get the truck flashed and BAM it will work. It's Great for the north-west. The funny thing is, that there is nothing to install on the truck. It was just new remotes with an extra button.

I ordered the part today. Really have to give thanks to this forum and its members. I can't wait to have all the information displayed in my Sierra.

The dealer may not be able to do it as you have to buy some extra part which gives a number to assign to the truck and their techline'll have some other code to activate it.

 

I was quoted around 300 including labor...Must be some slowass techs there as they say it'll take about 3-4 hours to reprogram the BCM in the TB to accept the replacement radio they ordered (which is not even the problem, passenger side speaker is blown).

Thanks for the info on the DIC upgrade. I just installed mine on my Silverado LT Z71

and it worked perfectly. It took me ten minutes instead of five because the light

switch with the two clips on one end was difficult to pop out.

...Oh well

      Winter Returned

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
