2018 2500 HD Duramax 20k mi. I had the truck jacked up the other day for an oil change and noticed my wheel seemed loose when no load on the suspension. I grabbed the tire at 12 o'clock and pushed/pulled and it definitely rattled. Has this been an issue with these trucks? I did some searches in the forum. But didnt find anything. I do have Cognito UCA's installed but I dont think that would contribute to extra wear on the bearings. I'll likely take it in to see if I can get them warrantied but suspect I'll get ****** for the UCA. Thoughts? Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

It would have fit but I felt that it blocked too much of the light. No use buying a light and putting something in front of it.. It's not big enough that I am overly eager to fill it.. I did retain a piece of the grill that I removed that I may fill the gap with.. I would use the threaded mount at the end of the fixture to mount the extension/filler.

It comes with a full wiring harness and rocker switch. I have not routed and mounted it yet. It's currently just strung into the cap through the window. I'll route it through the grommet in the firewall and find a place to mount the switch next weekend. Here is the light I got. https://www.roughcountry.com/40-inch-curved-led-light-bar-72940blkdrl.html Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Here are some pics of it all buttoned up. Ready to test when the sun goes down. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Well, my brackets look like shit and I'm a shitty welder bit it is strong and rigid. The grill can be removed without removing the light bar. It's rough wired and I'll run it for a couple weeks to see if it needs any adjustment. It was a pain in the ass working alone and trying to fab in that tight space with the grill on.

Removed the grill and cut out the area that will house the light bar. Next, working on the mounting brackets. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

It's not installed yet. I'll post pics as I go. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Starting in on a new mod.. going to set a 40" rough country curved light bar into the upper half of my grill. Wish me luck.. I'll post pics as i go.

Following. I have the same kit minus the fox shocks. To the last poster, these kits do not come with diff spacers however I have seen other brand kits include them. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

My seats are power, heat, and cooled.. there is more room under the passenger seat. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Sorry for the late reply. The antenna cable is routed through a vent in the back of the cab. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Direct connect to the battery terminals . Working great. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Just a form of communication. Works great when in remote areas that dont have cell service. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Installed a kenwood tm-v71a into the 2018 LTZ. I'm really happy with how it turned out. Mounted the remote head in the card holder area. Did some trimming of the rubber insert to set in the head. Used the kenwood remote mount kit to stick the bracket to the console under the rubber card holder. Wires run under the console to under the passenger seat. The radio is under the passenger seat. Power is supplied by direct connection to the battery. I routed the mic cable through a hole I drilled in the access panel at the bottom of the console. The mic will be stowed in the console until I want to use it. Then I can pull it out and route the cable through the notch and close the console on it. I also installed a remote speaker at the front of the passenger seat. The antenna is mounted on a bracket I made that fits in the stake pocket. Wire runs in through the vent and makes it's way under the to the radio under the passenger seat. Cheers! Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Thanks for posting. I think I got my placement sorted. Waiting for some parts. Also fabricated this antenna mount this evening. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

I have a Kenwood TM-V71a.. So far it looks like the best location is going to be near the card holder at the front of the console.. I might have to fab up a custom bracket or something.

Thanks for posting.. I just got a new 2018 2500 hd ltz and need to get my ham radio installed.. It has a remote face so I can put the unit under a seat or something.. this post will help me sort out the wire routing and placement.. Cheers!
