  1. Can't say I sat for 5 minutes with it. However they never turned off no matter what switch setting the lights were on, including all off. I'll try the parking lamps next. Didn't have a chance to as I was running out of time last night.
  2. So…stay with me. I’ll never claim to be great at electrical stuff. Fuse tapped one of the headlight fuses. Problem is the fog lights seem to have constant power. So the fog lights are always on. As in always. Head lights on or off, truck on or off. What am I missing? Help out the electrically clueless.
  3. Yeah, I've got something similar. Just wondering if anyone has used any of the jaw clamp style compressors. Might make it easier but not sure if they're up to it.
  4. I went with the larger GM mud flap guard things. Like them so far after over two years. https://www.gmpartswarehouse.com/oem-parts/gm-mud-guard-84109907?origin=pla&gclid=Cj0KCQiApL2QBhC8ARIsAGMm-KEdyl2Fpg-vQ7fVHMy0H2eeu-OrJbcs50iUGVXj0artIoMUXkagpnwaAlzxEALw_wcB
  5. Which spring compressors did you guys use? I've got some of the old school clamps but wondering if any of the jaw style will work?
  6. Yep. Even just going down to 20's would widely open up the range of tires you have.
  7. There isn’t much in the factory size. Some options if you go with a wider tire but not many.
  8. I have aftermarket with a cheesy switch that I’m not going to use. So…if I want them to turn on and off with the headlights I don’t want to wire them to the headlight fuse? Do the parking lights come on with the headlights? I don’t want then on all the time. Already have DRL’s. No need for the fogs to run in broad daylight.
  9. Should be okay. Keep an eye on it. You're basically around Trailboss/AT4 height now.
  10. No, they designed the suspension so that it can accommodate that taller ride height. 2wd, 4x4, Z71, and Trailboss all use the same mounts, A-arms, series of coils and struts, and alignment parts. Drop your truck? Realign it. Raise it up to Trailboss height? Realign it. Comparing the regular model suspension to the Raptor is apples and oranges. One is a pickup truck and the other is next step to a factory prerunner.
  11. GM didn’t use spacers.
  12. That commands the, “needs to fit in the garage so I can work on it” kind of attention.
  13. Drive it around hard and I bet you’ll see the numbers change. Driver’s side is often set a little higher due to the vehicle ALWAYS having a driver on that side.
  14. Ok, thanks. Definitely not what I’m after but you confirmed that part of my suspicions. Tried checking the fuses for when you want it? Now that I say that…can you even do that with these mini fuses? Have to look tomorrow.
  15. Just a bunch of random stuff. I’m just wondering if tapping the headlight fuse is what I’m after. I’ve got the parts already.
  16. Installed some aftermarket fog lights today and now looking at the wiring. I read where people had direct wired them into the under hood fuse block with a fuse tap. Most seemed to say they used the parking lights. Wouldn’t that make the fogs run all the time that the parking lights are on? i want them to run when the headlights are on so I was thinking I’d do something similar but to the headlight fuse. Am I missing something?
  17. Dumb question as I’m doing something similar with aftermarket fog lights - wiring them in to the parking light - are they on all the time?
  18. Jones 3” in/out 24” long welded in place of the factory muffler and flapper. Nice rumble but not obnoxious. Nice roar if you stomp on it. No drone on the highway or helicopter noise when it drops cylinders. Less than $200 installed.
  19. Time and places. When I had my ‘86 K30 on 38” tires I loved it but it also had the 6.2L diesel and dual cherry bombs. It wasn’t for being quiet on long highway drives. Current truck spends 45 minutes on the highway to and from work 3-4 days a week so I’m not about that life any more.
  20. Pretty sure since it's a defect from GM you can complain to them and get it fixed the correct way if the body shop the dealership is sending you to is wishy washy about it.
  21. It's still a defect from GM. It's up to them to fix it for you under warranty. If their body shop won't do it they need to send it to a place that will. There's lots of body shops out there that can do world class paint jobs FAR, FAR better than anything that ever rolled off an assembly line. If they can't fix it correctly someone else can.
