Good option for the pickups but the Yukon dash is completely different.

Found a color touch screen flush mount, about 1/4 inch thick total that will fit perfectly in noted area (I believe trailer brake control would go here). Uses 0-5 volt sensor signals. I’m going to use it for boost pressure and meth tank level. I’ll post specifications tomorrow

Unfortunately I have the trailer brake controller there. That will be a nice little setup though.

How different is the steering column on 17 vs 08? This is where I have mine mounted. The fitting on autometers website says it was for a 7-14 Silverado

It's completely different but it looks like autometer makes the same pod for the 2015+ vehicles which should all be similar. I knew I remembered somebody mounting a gauge on the column. Just couldn't remember who. Thanks for posting! I think that's going to be my plan. Go with the autometer 15009 pod. Want to run one of the boost/AFR combo gauges in it.

The one I’m using is auto meter failsafe gauge. It has different settings so you can make the led sweep AFR, boost, o2 voltage and maybe a few others. The center display can also display the same but numerical value.

Sweet. I will check it out. Your truck made me almost keep my 07 Z71 but I caved and sold it. After putting boost to these giant beasts it’s amazing how much nicer they are to drive. That 07 would have been a blast with a blower.

Thanks. I’m looking forward to your build as well

Starting to get the itch for a smaller pulley but want to hold off a little bit and run with the Magnuson warranty a little longer. Hope to add long tube headers and pulley together and get it dyno tunes. Need to get around to installing my Baer eradispeed rotors too. Too many projects going on.

Well you can run a smaller pulley. Just keep the current one or if need reinstall. I’m running a 3.0 pulley so I know I have a 3.2 in my toolbox. I dunno I think it has your name on it.
Long tube headers 1 7/8 will make a world of a difference and also sound. Would you believe it if I told you the exhaust tone of my truck is ARH headers with a catted section, magnaflow muffler, resonator delete and factory catback 2.5 piping?

I'm not even sure what size the stock pulley is on my 2300. I need to check. Lol. My main concern is how loud the headers will make my corsa exhaust. Lol. It can get a little gnarly after headers.

You can send out your pillar to Ortiz Custom Pods and have them mold you a gauge pod. I did that with mine. Keep the OEM look.
