I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Lowering the axle ratio (number is higher) makes the gears shorter so you can get up to RPM faster, tow more, have more low end torque, and more fun! But it reduces your MPG and you'll be revving higher in your last gear while cruising on the highway.

Oh ok cool. Thanks for the knowledge! [emoji851]

5d5e3e62f5be7ca1a67bde1edf5f5faa.jpgFlip Down - Rear Screen Entertainment (RSE) Retrofit done today. As if taking the headliner down wasn’t nerve racking, try taking an exacto knife to it. LOL.

 

It’s coming along quite nice!

^^ that's AWESOME Phil!!!

 

i know what you mean about cutting into the headliner.  i added an overhead console to my '89 chevy and i quadruple checked everything thing before i started cutting!  i think the only time i was more nervous with my old truck was when i was drilling into the back of the cab to add a third brake light!  ha!  good times!

Very impressive, if you have kids this will make long drives much more quiet.

I do have teenage boys, but rarely do we take the truck on longs drives. This upgrade was really just to understand the process and to document the install. Really to answer the - “Can it be done?” question. Yes it can! :)

When it comes to wires in a car I’m out.
It’s nice that you take time and show everyone how everything is done.

I appreciate it.

[mention=187413]jgraves13[/mention] i love those wheels. I am leaning towards those or the six spoke ones they have. 


Here's a pic I grabbed of the con 6 when I saw this truck the other day if it helps your decision at all:

- Flip Down Bracket/Bolts - $50 (GMPartsGiant)
- HMI - $0 (used my factory one - must be 2016 or higher)
- 8” Screen (for BluRay playback) - $0 (was able to salvage an damaged one that had the decoder in it)

~$430

Grand total, under $1K
