You didn't have to remove the whole center console like I did


But I have to say, putting it back together was much easier than taking it apart.

I know one guy brought us his truck, we told him what had to be done, he said eF that, and last i knew he just bypassed the heater core, and wire up a space heater and a power converter.

Yep heater works great (knock on wood). It took us (me and my dad) about 7 hours with no instructions and taking our time. Only had a few screws left over at the end, some left out on purpose for convenience sake.

I bypassed it for almost 2 years. It was getting old with the 20 degree temperatures and cold air blowing on you (chevys ALWAYS vent, no off switch), and cold leather seats/steering wheel.

They look good, besides all the residue left on the tires from the wheel cleaner I used. Once I get a chance to clean up the truck some, I'll post pics.

They look pretty good for another OEM wheel haha. Truck rides a little better too, but trying to pass someone on the highway at 50 didn't go so well.... truck kicked sideways and scared the **** out of me. I'll have to get used to lighter wheels again haha.
