Up here at the dealership getting my oil changed and the 2013's are sweet
The big thing I really like is the DIC gauges
Will these swap over to my 2012 that has a DIC?
Thanks

DIC (Driver Information Center) is what Chevy calls their EVIC.

My stealership was pushing the '12s pretty hard but the end price came out to close to the '13 that I got. Plus the upgrades like the DIC (I have been a diehard Chevy guy all my life too)/EVIC and 8.4an with what all it controls was hard to overlook. I would have gone with the '12 if it was another $5k or more under the '13 prices.

All in all they were only offering $2k more in rebates but didnt have a truck configured any way that tickled my fancy.

I asked my dealer if I could get my 2012 EVIC reprogrammed to display the screens the way the 2013 model does. They sort of brushed me off and told me the diplays are different. The only thing I want is a digital speed readout the way my GM car has.

Since the MY13 introduced a new electrical system architecture I don't think anything will migrate over from earlier model years.

How bright is the back lit on the 13 plus gauges? I find mine kinda dim even on full bright.

I bet you could get it to atleast light and stuff with some wiring if you had the schematics. Like stated I think controlling it would be the hard part.
