I will send you wiring schematic tonight once I get home to PC, hard to do on a phone.  

No instructions came with the relay. 

Good evening Phil,

I have watched the Tinkeringfox video on the LED Light bar install, he mentioned on the video that you have a wiring harness available for this install, are they still available and what do you want for one?

I saw you posted on TinkeringFox's Off-Road Light Switch Install, I like the modifications you did to your console, adding the switch panel and moving the cup holders further to the front, was this a easy modification, could you share what you did?

Thanks,, Mark  

Happy Saturday DMAXNAZ,

Your truck looks great, this is the 3rd GMC Sierra I have had and they have all had the typical rake, my 2018 seems to be the worst.  After measuring, I have a 3 to 3.25" difference between the front and the rear.  it is very noticeable.   On my 08, I utilized the OEM green keys, they are clocked differently and I only had to crank on them a couple of turns to bring the difference between front and rear to about .5".  The original difference on this truck between the front and rear was 2.0" I also installed Bilstein 5100's all the way around and didn't compromise the ride quality, in fact it got a little better.

I know that most guys that I talk to are pushing the upper control arm kits with new keys, I know that I can just crank up the original keys and make this rake better if not go away, but don't really want to sacrifice the ride quality on a month old truck, and yes I can keep throwing parts at it to bring back the ride quality,  I also don't like the idea of modifying the frame of a 60K truck.   If the long term goal is to install upper control arms, I'm better off purchasing them included in a kit instead of by themselves,  it will be the most cost effective way, since they are about $500.00 when purchased separately.   

You had mentioned that next time you would just do a rear lowering kit, can you go into detail about this?

I know that most of the 3" Suspension Lifts (aka new keys and UCA), come with each manufacturers own brand name shocks, some have upgraded shock options.  I looked at Suspension Max, Ready Lift, Zone, Cognito, Rancho, Tuff Country and Rough Country.  Rough Country seems to the most effective way to go, I talked to them about the upper ball joints, they are press fit Moog and are replaceable.  My only question, is there brand name shocks, I know most guys that have installed this kit, they have not put too many miles on them yet. 

Thanks,

Mark

iamdianieltuck,

I have read all the posts here on adding aux switches, I would like to add them to my new 2018 GMC Sierra 2500HD SLT/Diesel/4WD, I know that sometimes when new vehicles are built they have the wiring already there, all you need to do is add components and program the module    Today I had a little time to check out the circuit, and its not raining here in Florida, first off I looked at my underhood fuse black X50A, it has all the terminals for the relays and the fuse, I even added fuses to the correct positions in the fuse panel, checked voltage at relay cavity 85 and 30, (12V) battery voltage is present.   That is a step in the right direction, them I went to my Instrument panel junction block X61A, I check continuity from  X50A to X61A, circuit 965,966, 967, 968, it is a open circuit and that is where the problem,  I know that I don't have the X7 connection, and more than likely I don't have the correct pins at the X1 connector at the rear of X61A also.  It seems like that if  I wanted to utilize the OEM relays that I would have to run 8 circuits from the X50A fuse block to the X61A and then to the Aux Switches.    I see that you are selling the X7 connector and wiring harness, this alone is not the only thing needed unless they have the circuits already wired in.  What have you run into or what have you heard others are doing? 

Thanks,
