The scam is: I want to buy your truck I can have my brother in law to pay for it, he is in your town closing up a deal for me. Problem is that my customer gave him a check for ****** many dollars, can you deposit it, wait for it to clear, then give him your personal check for the balance and keep $500 for the trouble, I trust you. Then just give him the truck and we are all good. The bank will clear the check because you are a good customer, but they find out the check is bogus and take the money out of your account (yes, its legal) and you are screwed. If you feel any hint of discomfort now you will feel more discomfort when you find out what happened.

Can you tell me what is composed off?

I'm really tired to come to this forum and help out, and post, with countless popups, hidden, impossible to close,etc. I think if you need more money then ask us the subscribers or ask companies that sell to members here. So far I think this is impossible to tolerate. Hope you guys make millions on the subscribers to your site. Thanks for your time. Ernest Aguilar

Solid wire is never recommended for automotive uses. the vibration will break the wire and therefore leading to a short circuit and worse things. The wire shown in the pictures that you are using can handle more than 20 amps at 12V. That is way overkill. Hopefully you are using an LED roof lamp that will not require more than 4 amps. Therefore requiring a 16ga automotive wire. There are methods to use for a safe and durable installation. those include... use existing wire installation through the body, this will minimize any problems with short circuits. Low amperage wires to control the relay, 16ga wires as short as possible to attach to battery, for the relay you will need a ground which would be a great spot to grab ground for the light. Make sure everything is fuse protected. Forgot, any wire that passes through a body metal hole has to be inserted through a isolating grommet.

No it's just the schematic, with no other info I can count all wires going into the ECM. And I can see that all those signals go to the display. But if there is a problem with for instance with the engine temp it goes to the ECM and then sends the info to the display So the first thing to see is the back of the display. Search you tube for a guy installing a Denali instrument panel and he shows how to get to it to remove it... if I find the type of connector and the wires I can give more info. If you are used to working on old cars these are totally different and what you think can go wrong it's not. All wiring on these trucks handle network wiring that send signals to and from to modules to do the work, if the module returns a fail then the computer either will try again or set a code. The trucks from 2224 and up will use ethernet network like all of office or home computers. There is a reason why, but I can write a.book about it...

If the instrument panel is the only problem and everything else is fine. the truck runs, windows work, headlights work running lights work, etc... Then I would remove the instrument panel and check the connector, If I'm not wrong is just one connector that goes to the ECM, so there are not to many problems to check. I just looked at the GM schematic and it does show just one direct connector to the ECM

You just might need to check your OBD2 codes. I think your throttle sensor might be the culprit. Throttle by wire. Etc...

Check the plastic panel outside and below the wipers. they get full of junk and the overfill when rain comes it ends up in the passenger compartment

Why not talk to the seller and or the manufacturer of this bar and find out how to hook it up where you want to? I personally would not connect to the factory fog lamps because they are engineered to provide a wide beam closer to the truck where you need it. Versus the LED bar on the bull bar that provides a wide (mostly straight) at a longer distance. I would not run both as I think they would be unsafe and the bull bar LED bar would blind other drivers. You can wire it to a switch inside the passenger compartment, then you can turn it on as needed.

More than likely they are vinyl stripes with clearcoat over them.

Yoiur truck doesn't have an external flasher. The body computer handles that. You need to install resistors in order to not get warnings when you start the truck. I installed Sylvania bulbs on my 2017, they are kind of weird looking but they work by directing the light to the sides instead of straight out, this way you get better dispersion of the light. Thay are very bright. Another way is to change the programming in the truck so it ignores the lack of regulare bulbs. First responser equipped trucks have that from the factory, but an upfitter can do that programming. Most dealers do not even know about this setting and I havve a Tech 3 to access the computers but the new ones have to be called in to a central GM rep that must give you a passcode to enter in the computer to turn that feature.

I use Waze to tell me the posted speed and the curreent speed... but I'm going to order the Hypertech because has a Kalifornia approved sticker.. but i have to buy the one without a tuner...

problem is if you live in the great state of Kalifornia you can't get one delivered here and the new cars will tell the computer at time of smog check that a tuner had been installed and removed.... talking about Big Brother

The dealer turned mine on. About $250 with new remote

You need tow resistors, on per light. they connect across the black and the blue wires

They are not replaceable because LED'S last for the life of the truck and are soldered to a circuit board. therefore if they "burnout" you have to replace the whole assembly.

It's much easier to go from the inside driver side fuse box. Go to gm upfitters. They let you download the electrical diagrams that show where you can grab power for auxiliary lamps. The third brake light circuit will not accept any other loads. Plus the harness only has power when the light goes on. I'm giving you a generic answer, if you let me know what kind of light you want to hook up I can give you more options.

Sorry for the long post.... but I felt some things have to be said about the sad state of affairs at GM with their light duty trucks.. 1500-2500 On the soap box There is no better time to get rid of it. My 2017 that I owe 20,000 on it, is worth 35,000 plus. Of course there is no way to replace it in this market. But if you are willing to buy a beater. youll have money for a down payment on a new on next half of 2022. I've always leased my truck because I'm self employed and could write it off. Now I'm semi retired and the business can not afford the leased truck. So I bought the one I have now. I regret it because although I love chevy trucks, they are becoming total pieces of ******, specially the ones we get in the West Coast from Silao Mexico. horrible quality control. luckily I know my way around cars/trucks/computers/etc... so I'm not too scared.. So my recomendation is DO NOT buy another one, lease it if you drive less than 15000 miles a year. GM has been on rush to catch up to Ram trucks and Ford trucks. so instead of spending 3-4 years on testing and getting all the bugs out, from 2016 on they started selling trucks that were only road tested for 2 or so years. So we customers become beta testers for GM. Now as the newer trucks come out since the architecture has been the same for the last four or so years.. then the bugs have been worked out pretty much... The Achilles heel are the transmissions... Would you guys believe that a partership between Ford and Chevrolet worked on the new multispeed transmissions for three or so years.. Multi speed = 6 spd to 12 spd Ford came out with them 5 years ago, even the mustang had an 8 speed and I think now a 10 speed. Meanwhile the same F****g transmissions GM can't get them to survive 100,000 miles on the 1500's trucks. Most of the thing's I've mentioned are available on Google or on SAE.org (Society of Automotive Engineers. OK I'm off the soap box

Where are located??

How about replacing your switch

sun bleach on the paint, the stripes covered that paint.

Any know the color code for the front red tow hooks on my 2017 Silverado 1500? I want to put on a pintle hook on the hitch. And paint it like the front orange tow hooks Thanks

Sorry, but I can't resist... Did you run over a stroller?

What kind of aftermarket bumper you installed? You can drill it to mount the sensors. I can give you the measurements of the hole drill. Im on a business trip and I can reply to you with the size. Send me a private message if you want. Another question. What year and model Silverado do you have? I'm looking for a good undented bumper.. thanks
