  1. Been having issues with "service trailer brake" narrowed it down to the trailer brake control module being rotted out. Got the connector out but one pin corroded real bad and stuck into the connector. Any ideas on how I could get this out?
  2. If its truly the solenoid its an easy fix. Part is about 150 bucks and an hour of labour. However, This is exactly how the oil pump failure shows. I would get the work done to change the solenoid. If you get the code back its the oil pump. The oil pump is cheap but its something like 17 hours to replace. Dont wait. An oil pump failure turn into a motor replacement very very quickly.
  3. The sound was continually during operation. It could be heard while driving. Apparently this is a common problem in 14 and 15's only.
  4. Hey all, I wanted to share my findings related to P06DD Engine code. First off are my truck stats: 2015 GMC Sierra SLE 5.3L w/ ~130000km. This truck has been pretty worry free other that the cracked radiator covered under a SSB. I noticed my truck making a weird whining noise after an oil change. It sounded like a mix between a supercharger and a bad power steering pump. Other than that no tell tail signs untill P06DD code flashed. I researched a ton and found that it was most likely the oil sending unit or an oil pump issue. I change the oil sending unit but it failed to clear the code. I got a quote for $2400cad at a local repair shop for an oil pump change out. Big job, lots of hours. I was so unsure of what to do as the info on the net was a bit flakey. I decided to go ahead and get the pump replaced and asked to have the old pump so I could look for damage. This is what i found: It appears to be a stress crack right at the pivot point of the external ring. The pivot design is a bit different than other Variable Displacement pumps Ive seen.
  5. No, They made me go back to where I purchased the boards from and would not directly work with me. Luckily the guy i deal with is super easy going and great to work with. I'm not sure what they will do if you bought directly from them tho. We shall find out! Something I'm curious about is that the first 2 sets of boards did not have the riveted side plate on them. The set i just got does have that. I'm hoping that this could be an indication of a new batch of boards that doesn't have the adhesion issue. Time will tell.
  6. They told me over the phone they fixed the adhesion issue. I'm hoping that replaced my defective boards with another set of defective boards! Here is to hoping "Third Times a Charm".
  7. One year warranty. I have thought of that but thats just ridiculous. The closest Linex place is 14 hours away and I paid money for these! I think they should hold up for longer than a few months!
  8. Installed in September, changed in April. I thought it could have been the salt aswell. However I've had a repeat problem since April. I would think that the salt/ice magnified the problem as in once it started to lift and all that salt/water got in and freeze/thaw cycle probably escalated the problem.
  9. First off I want to say that I love the look of my GoRhino RB10's! The sad part. I will be installing my 3rd set of RB10's in less then a year. I have had 2 sets that the coating has started to peel off of. I called GoRhino and they wont deal directly with you so I have to go through the shop I bought them from. Luckily the shop is amazing and has fixed me up with no issue. It always starts to peel at the slots. It wont flake off but it completely lifts from the surface in a large area. GoRhino told me they were experiencing "Adhesion Issues" and it had been fixed. Unfortunately it was not fixed on my last set of boards and th coating has peeled off again.. Hopefully You guys have better luck then I do.
  10. Not 100% sure what you are asking but the light bar is mounted into the cradle like the one below: That Cradle is mounted to the N-Fab Mount that was mentioned a few posts up. It looks as if its mounted to the 2 outer mounts. The N-Fab mount looks to be bolted to where the tow hooks are. I'm guessing its sandwiched in there or just on the side.
  11. This guy used a cradle mount. Looks like something I could easily fab up! http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/165369-light-bar-mount/?p=1512918
  12. Here is a bracket I made out of 1/8th plate. I used u bolts to mount it so that I would have to drill into that cross member. I designed it in a way that you can leave everything loose and adjust it to fit perfectly where you need it to go. I could CAD up a template if anyone is interested. I made this using a hack sa and a hand drill. If you had some better power tools you could definitely clean it up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. What wire is the High Beam Positive? I want to use that as my trigger wire for my relay. What kind of power is going to the headlights Amps wise.
  14. If you want an increase in power from the pumps try some E85. I believe that its a 25HP increase. with a 25% decrease in fuel economy.
  15. Octane number does not directly mean more power. The octane number only represents the fuels resistance to detonation. Higher octane is need for vehicles with higher compression ratios to help avoid knocking or pre detonation. In fact the opposite is true, higher octane fuels produce less energy per volume than lower octane fuels.
