Hey guys I have fiddled around with this for long enough, and cant figure out the problem. The illumination lights for the lock/unlock switches and the panel with 4wd,2wd, and headlight knobs dont glow. they all work but they wont illuminate. They try to come on for a second and then like a "buzz" noise happens and they turn off, they still function though. But some days they will work and some days will not work. Im just curious how to fix it. I cant really find the fuse that is for them the manual and fuse covers dont tell me specifically. I also looked at all the fuses and tested them and they all passed. any info would be nice thanks!

was plug and play up to a point. I had to hardwire running lights, cargo lights, and the reverse led lights but yes power, heated, and turn signal all work. I just had to find the correct wires to tap into for the extra features towing mirrors have.

Got my towing mirror installed and wired up! Way better than the stock little ones if you ask me! especially pulling my 28ft car hauler! PS install took me 3 hours, I figured it take me 30 minutes but its never that easy right!

MBRP 3" Cat Back, Single Side Exit, AL its a little deeper on start up and idle than the stock exhaust (just a little, not much) and down the highway or high RPMs you cant hear it at all! Get the performance without the noise! double whammy!

theres always that one guy on the forums. This was a apples to apples comparison, same route everyday to work 120 miles round trip. Highway and city mix. Before tune on this trip I got 14.1 -15.6 mpg. Same trip after the tune I got 19-22 I can post pictures of the cluster if you want! I Dont sell anything I was just telling him. Diablo lew tunes, arent a performance chip or a "one setting fits all" tune. Its a program you log data and send to him and he creates a specific tune for your truck using data collected by user. (knock retard, air fuel mix ration, shift timings anything and everything). He changes everything from A-Z to make the engine more efficient. With the correct add ons to your truck he can tune it even better. Lots of people have had similar results to me but most drive with a heavier foot since it has more power but drive it in normal use and you will get similar results. Im not telling the guy he can expect 22 mpg like me by any means as for the environment plays a role in that but if he lives in oklahoma I would bet $100 on it he would get the same mileage as me! Tires are toyo open country 33x12 http://diablewtune.com/ do your own research. here is one under testimonials i found MPG: Before:12.8mpg, now with tune:17.1mpg (wow!)... 0-60 2WD: Before: 8.2seconds (bone stock), now with tune: 7.8 flat... I also run a few dirt drags on a 200ft dirt strip... Best 0-60 in 4LOW has been 5.4seconds! Awesome job man!! – Codi W.

If you get CAI mise well get a catback exhaust too! I got a quite catback I dont like loud exhaust. And i would recommend getting a tune. I used Diablo Lew tune and the truck drives better and has better power management. stock I got 14.1-15.1 mpg on 20 inch wheels and 33 inch tires. After the tune I get 19 on a windy day uphill and 22 on a nice day uphill. And pulling my trailer the truck does down shift and upshift a million times going up grades. It just pulls harder and its actually nice to pull my trailer now! Black bear is another guy who people say do a good job. I cant speak on his tunes as for I never had one by him but people say thats another good guy to use. But I am very pleased with my tune from Diablo Lew! Thats about the only other mod I would do especially since your doing a CIA unless you tune your truck and get a exhaust and tune it really just there for looks and not performance!

wish gmc and silverado woulda kept the square look for fog lights! Absolutely hate the fog lights on the trucks now especially since you cant really upgrade to pods or such without some major fabricating! Bring back the squares and/or circles GM!!! Nice truck Jim!

Thanks, The bumper is a SCA performance bumper.

heres mine!

I appreciate it! And im waiting on my grille and wireless lightbar to show up before I tackle this mess. I also dont know for sure im im gonna do the colorshift lights in the headlights either! But like you If i do plan on doing the lights Im gonna do everything at once because Im not gonna take the lights apart two times lol by the way man them ten inch woofers you mentioned have some serious RMS! 750! I would have to buy a bigger amp because my amp only pushes 750 at 4 ohm load and its mono amp and even if i wire them in series parrallel It would still be 4 ohms although the subs were wired down to 2ohms! so I would have to drop some lettuce on a amp like the rockerfosgate 1500bd or something!

lol I have done so many google searches for a lift and nothing ever popped up! One more thing sorry to bug ya man! Im planning on painting my headlights the same color as my truck on the inside of them. do you think the halo light kits like you have will work or will the paint block the lights from shining...the color is diamond white but Im not sure if it would work or not!

how did you go about raising your back seats? I have seen people use square tubing and such and some one on here at one time fabricated seat lifts dont remember who it was now or if they still do it!

Thanks mike! My other question is what 10's did you buy for your truck you seemed to be pleased with them and Im having mixed feelings about if I would like shallow mount subs! I been looking at the JL TW series but not entirely sure if they will do as Id like them to do!

thanks for the reply, in my case I think just swapping the speakers to some aftermarket ones will be good enough without adding a amp. My truck volume is pretty good when the l7 is beating but i think just a little bit better speakers would be perfect. And if its not I can always add a amp to it and crank the gain up a little. would you mind to recommend any good D class amp for speakers for a good price by chance?
