    You could probably get most of it working if you really wanted to. Like you said, the gray plug would be the most difficult because it is only on the newer trucks. That plug is the BCM controls, so I don't know that it is as easy as just tapping wires, but it could just be for backlighting, ignition position sensing, etc. Good luck if you decide to tackle it. It's difficult enough on trucks that were designed for the kit. Personally, I'd just find a different aftermarket kit and find a clean way to wire that up.

    Not for sure what you mean, but these button click in and stay in with a light illuminated when pressed. You have to press them again to disengage.

    I think the stock tires are something like 34x11R20, so going up to 35s isn't that big of a leap diameter-wise. I have 295/65R20 ordered in Toyo AT3, which are about 35x11.5R20. Unfortunately, they are backordered so I can't report how well they fit. I'm not anticipating any issues though.

    Thanks for the feedback! Sounds like they aren't very helpful in a snowy environment.

    Keep us updated. I'm between these and the Weathertechs, leaning towards Weathertech due to their length.

    How are you liking these for keeping slush off the rockers and crap off the lower doors?

    Maybe....74* in my 1500 AT4 would get me sweaty, but very different trucks I suppose.

    I just had this happen a couple nights ago in my '21 AT4. I was driving along and suddenly the windows all fogged completely. After they cleared, it happened a couple more times very quickly, and then very quickly cleared on their own. I have also noticed, now that the weather is colder, that the truck doesn't really seem to heat up. I usually run 74* on auto, and I can drive for 45 minutes and still be comfortable in a jacket. Not sure if these things are related, and not really wanting to leave it with the dealership for diagnosis.

    These should fit GMC Sierra AT4s and Silverado Trail Bosses with a 4” BDS lift, or a standard Sierra or Silverado with a 6” BDS lift. May fit with other manufacturers 4”/6” lifts, but that’s on you to confirm. Part numbers are below. Part # 88302160 and 121633 Fox coilovers (non DSC) and mount kit: $1200 and I'll split shipping with you (CONUS). Parts are located in southern NH, willing to meet within a reasonable distance. One of the coilovers rubbed against the other during shipping, causing cosmetic scrapes. I’ve included a picture of that.

    It isn’t really baffling that the lights on your switches work. They likely get power/signal from where you connected them to the body harness under the dash, not from the battery. That’s how they know to turn on with your headlights, etc. As to why you aren’t getting power, I don’t really have any ideas other than to check and re-check all your connections. Also make sure you installed the fuse on the battery correctly. Maybe check that fuse and make sure it isn’t broken already.

    My 2019 1500 with 360 surround had a 5 port VPM. My 2021 2500 with 360 and bed view has the 10 port. The 10 port VPM came later after they added additional camera views and features.
  12. TheElementalCashew
    Oh that makes sense. You are right, they don't have a very wide spread. I assume these headlights are still adjustable, do they have side to side adjustment screws to pull them out a bit more?
  13. TheElementalCashew
    I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm surprised they don't have enough output for you. I have a GMC, but they are extremely bright, I've never even had a thought about them being an issue. Are the Chevy lights that different?
  14. TheElementalCashew
    I have not, my AT4 came with the 360 cameras. However, I did a lot of messing with the cameras and VPM because I changed mirrors. Even after just changing mirrors, the VPM and software refused to recognize the "new" cameras and they never worked properly after that. Even WAMS couldn't get it working, though they were happy to take my money. All that said, if just changing mirrors/cameras broke my existing system, I have serious doubts as to the ability to be able to do a complete retrofit and have it work.

    I lifted my 1500 four inches, my stock 2500 I have now is almost as tall as my lifted truck was. That said, I wouldn't do it again. It drove fine, but my fuel mileage went way down (daily driver) and I couldn't fit in some parking garages or any touchless car washes (necessary here in the winter to get the salt off). I'm just going to put some new wheels and better tires in a similar size to stock on the 3/4 ton and call it a day.
  16. TheElementalCashew
    These days, I doubt you'll hear any complaint from a dealership. They just want the trades. Real life experience earlier this year: I traded in my lifted GMC with aftermarket wheels they barely gave it a glance and it didn't affect my trade-in value. Going back to stock was not an option for me in that case. It sold off their lot very quickly.

    If you don’t have the module already, your head unit probably doesn’t have the necessary software to communicate in an integrated manner with the module. I feel like you’re probably going to spend a ton of money and not get the results you want.
  18. TheElementalCashew
    Installing after the fact? My '21 AT4 came with them installed.
  19. TheElementalCashew
    You could check with Boost Auto Parts and see if they have a solution for you. I suspect you'd have to at minimum buy mirrors with the lights in place though.

    Bump.

    It’s super easy. See attached. UI-Bulletin_147b-Snow-Plow-power-provisions.pdf

    The regen occurs based on driving and idling, it detects the % your filter is being clogged up. Mine seems to occur about every 1000 miles or so, but I can only tell because it starts to run roughly and fuel mileage drops. I don’t have a monitor, but from what I can tell it takes ~20-30 minutes for a regen to complete on my truck.
  23. TheElementalCashew
    You might be able to hack the switch wiring up to get it work for you, but it wouldn't be nearly as straightforward as it is on the new trucks. These ones have harnesses and plugs already in place so it's basically plug and play.
  24. TheElementalCashew
    Updated price.

    I daily drive a 2500 AT4, and it does just fine. I actually get better mileage with it than my old lifted 1500 AT4. I only tow a camper during the summer months. I would recommend though that you don't use a Duramax for stop-and-go type commuting. It makes it difficult for the emissions system to operate properly, and you'll end up with various emissions issues. My commute is ~45mins at mostly highway speeds, so my truck has plenty of time to regen when it needs to.
