MyLink auto-dim

No tint on mine either.

So I stopped by the dealership and they don't have a software update for the Mylink. I also asked about an update for the tcu for the lagging shifts without going the tune route - no dice either.

I will tune eventually... the wallet just currently doesn't support it.

In other news! The dealership I stopped at had a brand-spankin-new ZR2! (gasser - not as cool) So naturally I had to check it out and find out what might be involved for a conversion.

Here is what I have found that isn't easily found on the interwebs:
- It has a true skidplate that covers full engine and tranny and extends past t-case. Very impressive one at that considering its OEM.
- The ZR2 rims have a neat brushed nickle outer trim that is hard to see in pictures and isn't as obnoxious as the orange concept wheels. Although I like obnoxious orange things
- The all-leather seats are waaayyyy more comfy than the Z71 seats IMO
- The front end has a completely different bumper that is also connected (read one piece) with the grill. As for the body-color pieces just below the headlights, those are now two facia pieces that connect separately. What this means is we can finally get some cool looking bumpers without cutting up our shiney, new oem ones!
- Obviously the multimatic shocks and hood bulge (not functional at all)
- I inquired about getting the lockers through the parts counter and they aren't available yet. They also don't indicate if it's a completely different rear housing or axles or any of that good info quite yet. But they do have the complete axle assembly for $2800 - not as bad as I expected honestly. But that doesn't include the control module or switches or the front locker either…
- As for the front locker - no info and it's too buttoned up to see.
- And no lockers would be complete without nifty switches! The picture is how GM decided to mount them:

- And while we’re in the interior, they also decided to stick a super cool wireless charging dock for phones and whatnot. Idk if this is an option that I just overlooked.
- The sliders they come with appear as though they just bolt to the rocker panels rather than the frame. I didn’t look too closely and wish I had because once I got home, I crawled under my truck and was looking closely as to where I could build sliders and bolt directly onto the frame. There are holes, but the rest of the frame is boxed all the way around. I need to play detective some more.


Anyways, I know this is way off topic so I’ll also post it in another section too. Hope this helps answer any of the questions you had about the new zr2!
