Thanks! Just thought I would ask before I went digging around, lol.

I am going to install a Kenwood Excelon KDC-X494 in my '06 Silverado and after looking at the warnings about re-flasing BCM's or the computer being rendered inoperative with the aftermarket chime adapters, I would rather just bypass it (and now understand why the unit that came out of an '05 had...

Yes, I had a hell of a time getting that out. I ended up loosening up the dash and using a pry bar to move the dash out far enough to get that harness out as the plug was too big to thread it back through the dash. After all that, I get it home and realize it doesn't have the airbag indicator...

I have an '06 LS that came with the plain mirror. I went to a salvage yard today and picked one up from a 2000 Sierra (I think) that has the compass and auto-dimming function and looks very similar. I pulled the entire wiring harness that runs from under the dash all the way to the 3rd brake...

Welcome and nice ride! I had an '88 RCLB as my first truck and loved it.

Thanks for the advice, JoshRA. I agree with your thoughts on the color-matching bumpers and wheels. I am probably not going to go with chrome wheels, but it just depends on what I find when the time comes. The rear bumper is the base gray colored one, so I leaned more towards getting that...

After looking at the pics, I definitely agree with you guys on the roll pan. If I get to the point of doing a shaved tailgate, then I would go with a roll pan, but with the current plans, a color matched bumper would look better. Fixed the ext. door handle last night, it wasn't bad at all. No...

Welcome! Great looking truck there!

I looked at this one yesterday and it says it only fits on '07+ on the package.

Thanks again for the warm welcome. I really do appreciate all the advice and compliments and it is much appreciated. Wasn't able to pick up the handle last night, but will pick it up on the way home. How do you guys feel about roll pans vs. color matched bumpers? Thanks, Ernie

Thanks for the warm welcome and all the advice so far. It is most definitely appreciated! The great thing about it being black and an LS package is that everything pretty much matches from the get go. I am thinking along the same lines on some diff. wheels, color matched bumpers, lowering it...

Thanks guys!! I am going to replace it tonight. Not sure how low I will end up going, thinking about maybe a 2/4.

It's the exterior one. Do you have to loosen and move the window to get the old handle out? Watched a video on the replacement and they dropped the window down to access one of the bolts holding it on.

Thanks guys, and no worries on the off comment there, LOL. I live in the NW part of Houston. It's a 2WD and unfortunately, I just broke my passenger door handle. :embarassed: At any rate, here are some pics and any pointers are greatly appreciated:

Hello, I just purchased an '06 Silverado ECSB with the 4.8. I have not had a truck in quite a few years and am looking forward to driving and doing a few mild mods to this one. I had some reservations on the 4.8, but it drives well and hopefully isn't too bad on gas. -Ernie
