HYPERTECH TUNER SILVERADO DRIVER
VERY happy with the results - much better to look at and really improved the driver experience for me. Makes getting everything out much easier. A little tip turn the key to the ACC position and drop the shifter down all the way. I was able to get mine off even with my damaged hands. All you really need is a 7mm socket, a nut driver or long extension, and if your dash surround is stubborn, something to pry it off with. It took me 15 minutes and I hadn't ever been inside the dash of a GMT800. This is a crazy simple swap, for those that haven't done it. Half the bulbs were out as well.Īfter pulling it, I found out that this was actually a Denso remanufactured unit - so definitely not the original cluster. The digital portion was also failing - if it turned on at all, it would only show me overall odometer and "Trip A" which, I believe, means this was the incorrect gauge cluster for a 2500 Suburban. I went with black Escalade faces, white LED's, and red pointers for a clean, simple look that hopefully wont stick out too badly until I can convert the rest of the dash lights to white or blue LED's. So, I got ahold of Carl at who was awesome and provided an excellent looking custom cluster. The old gauge would stick at 3/4 tank until you had driven enough to get down near 1/2 tank, and then restarted (repowered) the gauge cluster.
HYPERTECH TUNER SILVERADO FULL
The sending unit doesnt register anything when the tanks are full - but it starts to register at 3/4 tank.
The gas gauge didn't work correctly - partly because I need to replace the sending unit in both gas tanks (yup! This has the extended fuel capacity setup with one large and one small tank) - partly because the gauge itself was failing. Next up was the gauge cluster - as with most of these, it had failing parts. Whats not pictured is a brand new Radiator - the one in the burb works perfectly fine but he picked one up when he saw the oil cooler leaking externally - turns out it was just a loose fitting and its not leaking, but if it starts again, I've got the replacement ready to go. Tested out the rear seat entertainment - the kids love this and use it no matter where we go.Īnd all the tires/parts he sent me with. I have a Hypertech tuner that came with it to adjust the tire size but I'll also be retuning it with HPTuners eventually. I'll probably go with a less aggressive all terrain in 265/75/16 when I replace them. I don't know if I'd go this big if I were the one buying them, or gone with these tires - they're just a lot more tire than I really need. He'd also converted the second row to Captains chairs - which is perfect since I've only got 2 kids and I can take the 3rd row out to make the dog happy on long road trips. He also gave me 4 basically brand new Blizzaks. I noticed a small leak from the valley cover and possibly the power steering but I'm not concerned with either - I have a hydroboost powersteering pump in my parts stash and he gave me the rest of the top end gasket kit he didn't use. Mechanically its in pretty good shape - 172,000 miles and previous owner did all new tie rods/tie rod ends/sway bar end links, and gave me the remainder of a MOOG front end kit (control arms, etc.) He also just did spark plugs and wires, and replaced the intake gasket. Really, I only purchased this to last until my mother in law is ready to sell her 2018 Yukon.īut now I really like it, and the kids love it, so we'll see what happens over the next 2 or 3 years. A couple of weeks ago I picked up a 2003 Suburban 2500 - originally from Oregon, so minimal rust compared to anything I'd find in Maine.
