After getting to 'test drive' my buddy's corvette, I started toying with the idea of putting a HUD system like what is in the corvette/dts/xlr into the Silverado. I know that with the integrated units and the new GMLAN, it is theoretically possible, but what I want to know if it is feasable with available parts. Anybody have any ideas for this or know of any parts store/website that would allow me to research this idea further? No I do not want fighter jet HUDs (before anybody suggests that).

Man! You take all the fun out of it! That's EXACTLY what I want! PLUS the weapons systems! Missiles. Gatlin Guns. The whole bit! :jester:

I don't have anything constructive to add, but I think it would be really cool. :cheers::jester:

 

Isn't that a pretty pricey option on the Vettes though? Not that anything on a Vette is exactly cheap . . .

:cheers: If that were the line of thinking, I would install it and then challenge somebody to a race...you might outrun my truck, but not my bullets and missiles

I think you can view these threads without being a member. Correct me if I'm wrong.

 

I think after reading the first thread, I wouldn't want to mess with it on my truck. :jester:

 

Good luck and Godspeed. :cheers:

well I have taken apart most of my dash when I was tinkering with the LED taillights, that is the easy part for me...those parts may be able to be retrofitted with some custom bracket work and cutting...think it would be covered under warranty since they would all be GM parts :D ?

This is something that I would be interested in....just kind of a neat gadget...just depends on the cost to do....I'm not to worried about the labor as my truck will probably be sitting most of the winter....

 

I would think it would be possible.....I mean the Acadia's have it which is the same LAN system...I have the same Steering Wheel, Nav Radio, Driver Information Controls as the Acadia....surely I could make something work?

I forgot that the Acadia had the HUD as an option...any chance I could get a part number. I might be able to see if it can be done electrically with the GMT800. the GMT900 should be alot easier as Travis pointed out

Oh man, what about someting with lasers on the front of the truck. Next prick to cut me off, or not use signal lights would get a high energy cutting beam right up the tailpipe. Mmmm. I can see it now. Kind of like a Death Race with attitude.

Got a hit off a linked website back to google with these search results:

 

http://www.defi-shop.com/product/vsdx/vsdx_top.html

 

This might be a better alternative if I can hack off that stupid screen and use the windshield to display the information...

Considering my 9 year old pontiac grand prix used to have a HUD, I'm not quite sure why GM doesn't use it in more vehicles. Although as I recall it did need a special windshield so it would reflect correctly. I really did like the HUD though... quite handy!

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
