  1. That would be awesome. Thanks for the help. I found the full LED Cargo lights for sale but I only need the harness.
  2. I completed this install on my 2014 Silverado and recently, I upgraded to a 2018 model and the harness is a different size. Its an 8 pin plug, but it is smaller in size than the plug for the 2014s. Does anyone have the wiring harness part# for 2018 models? Thanks in advance for the help.
  3. I did not pay any more for air or nitrogen. It was an option from my dealer and at no additional change. Since Atmospheric air is only 78% Nitrogen, 21% oxygen, the rest other gases, the 21% oxygen is what is fluctuating during the temperature changes. If you can get rid of the other 22% gases and put pure nitrogen in the tires, you will have a higher boiling and freezing point than Atmospheric Air. Dues to this, the tire psi will only change 1 psi during normal days. I keep my tires at 40 psi religiously and usually during normal highway driving in South Louisiana, they will go to 41 maybe 42 psi. Nitrogen doesn't expand and contract as much as air with temperature. This is one of the major problems with air because when is cold or hot, for every 12 degrees change in temperature, the psi will increase or decrease respectively (i.e. deflate gate!!). I have seen so much better wear with nitrogen vs air on my current tires compared to my last set.
  4. I have been running 40 psi but I'm using Nitrogen. It does not fluctuate as much as air does so the tires wear so much better. This set I have now has 45K on them and the sides looks brand new while remaining perfectly flat.
  5. Can some let me know which switch yall are using that will fit in the cigarette lighter and can be hidden? I'm in the process of gathering all the materials for my build and I'm looking for a hidden switch. I have seen them in the cigarette lighter spots just cant seem to find them. Thanks for the Help.
  6. So I have 45K on my tires and have a few thousand more miles before I need to get a new set but I have heard the new KO2s don't come with the white walls on the 325/60R20 sizes. Is this true? Part of the reasons get BFGs is for the whitewall as they are the only tires that makes them look awesome. This will be a huge let down if that's the case. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. How did you mount these lights? I'm in the process of doing something like this but I don't know how I want to mount them but I want to hide the lights. Any suggestions? I will be using the factory harness to connect this to the cargo lights
  8. Does this harness work for a 2014 Silverado 1500? when I typed the part number in on a GM parts store it indicated that it fits the 2500's but not the 1500s
  9. All I can say is that after installing my TRS 55W kit I'm super impressed. The amount of light output is unbelievable. I was worried that I would still need to do the FXR upgrade but I'm thinking that I don't need to worry about that for now. Thanks for the all tips on this thread. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  10. SO I finally received my Morimoto Kit yesterday and I have a have some questions. Please see my thread that I started. Are the wires supposed to be setup like this? Especially for the OEM Plug-In. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/183825-the-retrofit-source-2014-silverado-spec-kit/
  11. Sounds good guys. Cant wait to get this done.
  12. I looked through this the other day. I was hoping someone did an install video on the Silverados. It doesn't seem that you have to remove the headlights like the Sierra. Are the the relays run straight to the battery and then plugged into the ballast?
  13. Morimoto seems to be a better made system that the DDM and so far the customer service is incredible. Does anyone have a Silverado HID install? Everything seems to be for the Sierra.
  14. Yes from your pictures these lights are insane. I'm in contact with the seller to get a pair as we speak. Will report back with results Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. So these are LED headlights and Fogs? These things are super bright for not having the FXR retro fit done.
  16. Her is my 2015 Silverado HC with a 6in RCX and 326/60R20 BFG ATs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. Does the GMC fogs not use the 5202 for the Fog lights? Did you add the FXR retro fit?
  18. The lift is a 6in RCX with the BFGs and stock rims. Never trimmed and no rubbing even with no offset. The The Amp Research running board really give it a clean look. I have read a lot of people saying that RCX is not a high quality lift but I'm on my third one and my Father is on his third and neither one of us has had any problem.

  19. Here is mine. 20" Stock High Country rims with 325/60R20 BFG ATs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  20. 10-4, just took that advice, hopefully it works.
  21. How do you get the TRS 10% code. Im ready to pull the trigger just having a hard time justifying the price. Any savings would help.
  22. I'm not sure that you need to change out the gears with 33s. I'm running 35" BFGs with a 6.2L and 3.23 gears and my truck hasn't lost a bit of performance. It does have a tune on it but it does not lack anything. I pull a 7500 lb boat and its almost as if its not even there. I would say let your buddy drive the truck and see if there are any issues. I doubt he will notice anything.
  23. I think the G4 Elite is perfect for your situation. Its s one of the best folding covers with access at the front and rear and it locks as well. I had one on my last truck and it was great. With that being said for my 2014 I went with the Retrax Pro MX. I love it and it looks awesome and very secure.
  24. Yes its a 6" lift. Im thinking of the truck that I just traded had the 5.5" lift.....
  25. Here is mine. 2014 Silverado HC 6.2L with a 6" RCX on the stock rims with 325/60R20s. Also added the amp research running boards so it makes it super clean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
