Congrats. Beautiful truck. I love the blue's on these trucks.

Truck looks beautiful. Love the blue color.

Congrats on the Camaro. Should be a blast to drive.

Fair enough. Thanks for the input guys.

I know this is sold, but I tried searching but didn't find much that was helpful. Can you expand upon what this is?

If replacing the stepper motors doesn't pan out truck GM gauge guys or usspeedo.com for a whole new circuit board. I paid $165 for a whole new board. Would recommend GM gauge guys. They were highly helpful.

Bump if anyone has any they would like to get rid of please let me know.

I'm missing two center caps for stock SS rims. I've found a kit on ebay (i'm sure they are cheap plastic knockoffs) for under $75 for all four. If you've got some factory ones hanging around please let me know.

Replaced these last night. Was fairly easy with the solder pump. Replacing the lights with LEDs tonight. Thumbs up to the guys making the how to threads.

Can you provide a link for what you just bought then? I don't mind doing the work myself. Read up a little more on the swap and seems easy enough.

So if my fuel gauge is stuck at the 2 position when turned off and goes to the 4-5 position when turned on (just filled up) save to assume my stepper motor's are going? Would it also explain why the tran temp only works sometimes?

Gorgeous truck. As far as your choices of a new ride I say be leery of the CTS-V. Although motor wise not in the same class I have an 2008 CTS. I've had nothing but problems with the sunroof. The drains are constantly clogged up and magically come undone. Luckily it's still all covered under the certified warranty, but it has caused me and the wife to look into getting something else before it expires. My in-laws have an 09 CTS and their friend has an 08 as well. We all have the same problems with the sunroof drains.

I'll have to pass. What I needed the most was the grill assembly as I don't have any of that. Thanks anyways though.

Makes you want to reach through the video and smack the kid upside the head. I can't imagine the ass whopping I would've gotten if I did something like that at any age. I had to pause the video to see the blue SS. Would've never seen it if you hadn't pointed it out.

Truck is looking great with the new paint.

Yea certainly was a shame. I've spent a decent chunk already just trying to bring it back to normal. I still can't complain because of the purchase price. Will post up this weekend some changes I've made.

To the OP, being new to the truck myself first thing I've gotta say use the search button. Any ideas you might have, have probably already been discussed. For instance, I wanted to restore my SS to looking like an actual SS so I ordered the bumper cover. Didn't know it needed different brackets that cost more then the cover. You will find some great information here. As far as what to do first, I'd go with Blown 346 list up above. Almost matches exactly what I've done to this point.

I find it funny they don't show a screenshot of the LQ9 motor in that manual.
