I bought the lightbar from amazon Doesn't look like it's available any longer, at least not by the same seller.

I fabricated them myself and I used mini led's from https://www.oznium.com/. I tapped into the running lights with a positap Photo of the install: LED size comparison;

Just a few of my beast.

Just brought her home last night. ​

So I have the above set-up and I'm curious what others are experiencing when they tow. I tow a 22 foot Pontoon boat, trailer has surge brakes on one axle. Total weight is roughly 4500 pounds. Maybe I'm expecting to much but I'm not impressed, just curious what others are experiencing. My trailer does have surge brakes, and I'm using a 2" drop tow pindle. I'm wondering if that could be part of the issue as the trailer neck is certainly not level. I'm so dissapointed that I almost pulled the trigger on 2015 with 6.2 ltr until I saw that the differential was 3.23, intially I thought it would be a 3.73. After I discovered that, I killed the deal. I also considered the HD 6.0 ltr but the only rearend offered is a 4.10. 3.73 is only offered in the diesel. Anyway, any insights are welcomed. TIA, MIke

The drivers side rear bracket lines up directly with the parking brake assembly. When the steps are up, the bracket does hit the brake assembly. I don't recall reading that I didn't need it due to me having a crew cab.

What about the 6-8" piece of rubber that your supposed to put around the parking brake assembly? Mine hit also, but the with the rubber wrap, it's a non issue. Mike

Cool-again I wasn't sure so I asked. No worries. :-)

I can fully understand your angst. Have you tried their forum? As far as taking the time to answer all your questions, not sure if that was meant to be a smart @ss comment. If it was it certainly wasn't warranted. I was merely trying to steer you in the right direction. As far as other tuners, I'm about to pull the plug on my diablo ( another issue) and go with HP tuners. There is a much larger learning curve, but there are a couple of forum members within this forum with vast knowledge and are willing to help. Best of luck to you, Mike

They are every bit as strong as the OEM boards, look a whole lot better too!

Contacting Diablo is where I would start. Mike

I used the gray green wire also, but when I unlock my truck (one push on the Fob) it unlocks the tail gate because I have my truck set up to open all doors on the first click. Initially I wasn't sure what wire I hooked the blue to but I looked yesterday and it is the gray with green stripe. If I change the vehicle settings, then the tailgate unlocks on the second push. Mike

Thanks for the insight. Lew tells me he's tuned 40 + 14 Gm trucks and first he's heard of this. Can't seem to get it to subside. I have gone so far as to install the 91 diablo tune (not adjusted by Lew) and it still does the same thing (ecm), no change to TCM. I've yet to return it to stock tune, but that is in the plan. If I get time to day, I will do some more screwing with it. I think my next step is to load different TCM tunes i.e... stock and diablo leaving the ecm tune alone and see if it's something in the TQ Mngmt. Mike

Update on my intune diablew tune: I've been trying to isolate a backfire issue at WOT when the truck shifts. I've noticed this since I had the third cat removed. My conclusion is that it was doing it with the the third CAT, just not apparent. Lew is stumped, we're still in the isolating stage, but I'm getting frustrated and about to pull the plug on the intune and purchase HP tuners. Other than the backfire at WOT the truck runs and drives awesome. Mike

Just curious, is your trinity updated? Very important to plug it into a pc and run updates. I have an intune, had a similar issue until I ran the updates. Mike

Just did a short 220 mile round trip up to OKC on Saturday (GO THUNDER!!), Left on 1/2 tank and did not reset the DIC. I Completed the trip averaging 18.8 MPG best 50 mile MPG was 23.7, I was running 80 MPH. My truck is tuned and AFM is turned off. I'm pleased! Mike

Sorry to hear that! Mines a complete custom, tail pipes exit behind each wheel. Good luck on your next venture.

I have the 14" magnaflow with third cat delete. Sounds Fing amazing! I also have the AFM off so if this drones when V4 is active, I couldn't say. It does not drone with my set up. Mike

I'm originally from Colorado, I'm real good at the above comment. Currently live in Lawton. As a kid I lived near Muskogee for about three years.

No what I am is a realist. How is it that your helping by your comments. Your comment on the range are misleading to others on this forum that may be considering it. Yes I did buy a truck to drive like a truck, Hence the reason mine is tuned and the power is amazing. Semantics had nothing to do with my comments, what you stated was not true and I pointed that out. I questioned your comments and your reply is that I'm a dick. LoL. Range does nothing more then disable v4.

That's not what he said, no use going thru this again. The power will be the same, nuff said.

I would say I am equal to what I was getting when the truck wouldn't get out of it's own way. I've only put 200+ miles on it but the MPG keeps increasing and I drive the crap out of it. If It does nothing better then what I'm getting now, I'll be happy. Mike

Just talked to Airaid, currently there is no plan to develop one(MIT) for the 14s. I stated, that was a shame as guys are waiting for it to come out. He asked for the forum, so maybe they get a prototype going soon. I would suggest more call and ask them as well.

230 miles into my new tune Fuel trims are settling in, all city driving with more than a few hard accelerations.

So it doesn't sound like shit!
