Sirius Stiletto 2 Installed In Your Truck?


Recommended Posts

Posted
I do have a stilletto 1 on mine...till I get my new head unit.

after my 3 mo. free xm is up i need to install my stilletto which i have lifetime sirius.. looking for mounting options and how to hard wire it.

Posted

I installed a 12v oulet behind the dash that gets power with the ignition that way the stilletto goes on and off every time you turn the key and that way I can hide the plug, I installed the car kit with the 3m tape and put it inside the passenger side dash pocket..it does not look great but it works and also theres not wires laying on the floor or around the console..

on the 12 volt. where did u tie it in? where did you get the hot wire from?

Check out the thread below. In the pictures you can see a junction box behind the brake pedal. In that box is a bluish green connector with a yellow wire. That yellow wire is a RAP wire. On with the key, stays on with the radio after the key is off. You can run off of this wire to a relay and use this as the signal wire. Then run a constant power wire (I used power off the cigarette lighters) to this relay and a wire from this relay to wherever you need it (I installed another cigarette lighter under the dash). This way I had a cigarette lighter that would turn on and off with the radio.

 

The reason I installed another cigarette lighter instead of just wiring straight into my power wire for my sirius was because my cigarette lighter plug actually stepped the voltage down from 12v to 5v. If I would have just cut the end off and wired it directly, it would have burned up the unit from getting too much voltage.

 

Any questions, please feel free to pm me.

    • 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.  
    • 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.  
    • 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. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
