So last week I had the bright idea of installing a QI wireless smartphone charger in the center console lid of my truck. I have the 40/20/40 split seats with the jump seat. This install is slightly different for trucks with a full console. I'll make note of that in my write up, as the how-to I...

After doing the ol' google search and not finding anything i decided to just try this on my own, and make a thread about how to do it. Really isn't that hard. What i did was cut up an old insurance card to hold the clips back. Once the card was cut up i gently pry'd back the clips and...

Here is a quick how too on swapping the jump seat console to a full console on a 03-07 Silverado. I looked everywhere online for a how too, only to come up with before and after pictures and very little on the actual swap. So I decided since I was doing the swap I would take during photos for...

Okay so my dimmer switch literally broke off. I was wondering if someone can explain how it works before I pull the column apart I see a metal rod disconnected going to the column I'm assuming that has something to do with the dimmer? Just looking for the best approach to this. Is there an...

Interior is supposed to be light grey. looks like this Carpet is full of dirt and stains, seats are stained, center console is stained, what can I even do short of ripping everything out and power washing? Got to be some all powerful magic cleaner you guys use because I've seen some...

For the past year my brother's truck (06 ccsb) has had a weird HID problem. For some reason the passenger side HID doesn't always want to fire. I've tried changing the bulbs and the ballasts. I've ran the HIDs on both the stock headlight harness as well as a relay kit. Anyone have an idea of...

Well, it seems the DoD lifter plague hit my car Friday night while in San Antonio, I was able to get the car back home safely yesterday. I'm not positive, but it's most likely a failing lifter. Once I have some free time I will figure it all. Noise seems to be coming from the valve cover area...

just picked this up the other day. my first truck. couldn't afford all the options at the time, but that wasn't a bad thing cause i am used to doing upgrades myself. i was wondering if anyone had advice on kits or how-to's to adding fog lights to this. thinking of cutting the valance, but as to...

Okay so I got my HIDs in the mail today. They are all Morimoto Elite with the heavy duty relay. I ordered H11 for the lows, 9005 for the highs, 5202/H16 for the fogs. I started on the fogs, and noticed the factory plug from the truck is rectangular shaped, but the Morimoto connection is oval...

Anyone got a set of the plates they aren't using? I'm desperately trying to get a set of plates or at the least dimensions so I can try and get myself some plates. I'm tired of the scattered light and all the bragging about the morimotos. I'd stuff them into the stock housings on my 06 GMC but I...
