Denali 101

Expanded beyond the typical dash confines with accessories so I just centrally located all my switching here:

Not in here often enough - couple freshies:

Then it's still considered not possible. No brake controller is worth 5k end of story. If someone can go the route of the pigtail and a 100.00 aftermarket controller, 5k is the stupidest waste of 4900.00 ever. If you spend that money even as someone who has the expendable cash your an idiot. Better to take the hit on going upside down for 5k on a new truck. If you dump the serviceability, that's a minimum of 5k more loss to the majority of owners, and that's if you got a truck that's not problematic - we all know about 8-10 nagging things these trucks tend to go back for service on and we won't repair ourselves.

Please post who/where. This is beaten to death on every forum with zero success. So just point us there. Just hacking the BCM doesn't git er done on the software side.

There's extended items that come with push button in oem applications. Several manufactures have the fob sensor preload the car for the fob in range. ie move the seat to position 1 or 2 or even easy access full back position, open powerfold mirrors, interior light and courtesy/puddle lamps come on etc just by walking up to vehicle. In addition, several load the door handle with a discrete button that allows unlock without the fob (just has to be in range still). Those features are something I would definitely like in this truck. It's not the push button alone, it's the fob sensing features that come with that technology these days that drive my desire.

I have not seen anyone do that, but that's a great idea. I have not seen a thread, nor do I know of an attempt to make it work. I think most folks just get into a aftermarket controller and call it a day.

Shaft is the first thing I normally toss in the trash almost every truck bought. Driveshaft specialists always gives the hookup: http://www.driveshaftspecialist.com/Truckhtml/Chevy-GMC.html

There you go.

I chose to wire the bottom led off the parking lamp circuit. The top part comes on when the switch is rocked active. Plate was off amazon. Find them all over the place right now on ebay, gm parts direct, rock auto had 2 in stock last week for 5 bucks more and : https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-23476237-Original-Equipment-Assembly/dp/B010GLVW90/ref=sr_1_1?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1486517945&sr=1-1&keywords=23476237 Ebay listings: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X23476237.TRS0&_nkw=23476237&_sacat=0

As stated by Raven the switches are a dime a dozen all over both ebay and amazon. There's a few that will custom etch your own labels as well for an up-charge.

I went ahead and ordered up a brake controller panel and diced it up for my switches. Here's a few pics:

Sure can - plenty of options for a 1.5"-2" lowering shackle for the rear. One of the more popular is Rough Country's. http://www.roughcountry.com/lowering-shackles-rc0500.html?gclid=CIDuwKvAhdECFY66wAodmJkBEQ

Basically 6" fabtech with a few extra supporting items. Those are made by Recon.

Takin a snow pounding out here in the western burbs today:

These are SCA's milled 20's. 20x9.5 in gloss black. Those are Recon's pure white led cab lights and I smoked them. They offer a smoked version, but they look odd as the lens messes with light color. Gave this a shot and it worked better than expected. 20x9.5, tires are 320/60/20 BFG's and I'm not liking them very much. The shoulders square off too much in this size.
