Rocket Man's 2008 Bagged CC Silverado Build AKA "THE MACHINE"

[Rocket Man]

That was a lot of soldering and heat shrinking. Some of the wires had multiples, like 3 tan wires on one connector or colors had changed a bit and I made sure to match the exact cavity to cavity on those. All done though and with the fabric tape they look like factory.

Do it right or do it twice! Nice job.

Esky cluster FTW! Pretty much done. Of course the paint didn’t match. I’m thinking there has to be another color code for the Ebony of this year. I called the dealer and they were no help. I’m just gonna rock the two tone lower half for now. There’s a few other pieces on the way from EBay; headlight switch panel, traction control and accessory outlet panel, and an LTZ cluster bezel that I’ll combine with the Esky bezel I already have. I’m having an issue with the DIC buttons sticking due to the wrap but I’ll figure out. I really like the look, the cluster sets it all off.

Also, I read on GMFS that some guys didn’t like the Esky cluster because it doesn’t have an oil pressure gauge which is not true. It just doesn’t have a DEDICATED one, it’s in the DIC menu. It also has a trans temp gauge and compass available.

Yes. NVX, got it through sonicelectronix

Damn that’s a steal. I might do this because it’s so easy!

Looks great. Everything works as it should?

The wrap got delivered.

Yessir. I didn’t realize this dash has so much less room behind the HU. I had to cut a bit of plastic and route the harness for it down through a groove behind it, and reroute the HVAC harnesses around the back and down. Good thing I added plenty of extra wire length.

Yessir.

Sweet.
