  1. Was it plug and play? Just had to get to the speaker to remove, attach adapters and plug in new speakers?
  2. Has anyone been able to modify the task lights to gain more functionality from them? I am currently running boost auto parts' spot light with high beams harness but I wanted to get more use out of them. From the factory they are basically useless as they can only be used in park. Does anyone know how they could be tied into the puddle lights so that when the truck is unlocked or remote started they come on like perimeter lights? Could this be done with a one way diode? Could they be tied into the turn signals? This was quoted from a thread a couple months ago by a user with the name kodiakdenail however, i'm not sure what is possible. Both task light signals are +12V signals, so you can use a diode to tie them together. the puddle lights are controlled by the BCM connector X7, pin 8, GRY/GRN wire, this puts +12V directly to the lower puddle light LEDs in the mirrors. the exterior cargo lights and interior cargo lights (bed lights) are controlled independently. exterior cargo lights are activated by a relay which is controlled by BCM connector X6, pin 26, BRN/WHT wire even though this wire is a relay control, it looks like it controls the relay with 12V and not ground like is usually the case. the schematics clearly show the relay coil getting one signal from the BCM, the other side is tied to ground. since the only thing that you would be adding to the puddle lights circuit is a simple relay control, you likely can do this just with a diode, you won't be adding much load at all. so...theoretically: A FORWARD biased diode between X7 (gray connector), pin 8 (GRY/GRN) and X6 (pink connector), pin 26 (BRN/WHT) should activate the exterior cargo lights (high mount cargo light and the "hitch" light on the tailgate, but not the bed lights) any time the puddle lights are on. Forward biased means the stripe on the diode should go towards the X6 pin 26 BRN/WHT wire. for reference if you look at the upfitter manual: BCM pinout for the puddle lights (BCM connector X7) is on page 7-257 ***note that for some reason the schematic seems to use the term "puddle lights" to refer both to the puddle lights and the task lights, they are not the same, but the manual uses the same name. no idea why, verify this with the schematic page referenced below) BCM pinout for the cargo lights relay control (BCM connector X6) is on page 7-256 ***note the manual for some reason refers to the cargo light relay as the "standing lamp relay control" which again, you can verify this is the correct wire on the schematic referenced below the puddle lights schematic is on page 2-35. which shows the puddle lights connected together (left and right) powered by positive voltage from the BCM, X7 pin 8. You can also see the task lights on this schematic. I don't know why the naming inconsistency, but the BCM pinout calls both lights "puddle lights" the schematic uses the terms flood lights lower and flood lights forward for the puddle lights and task lights respectively. at least I think I don't know what else those could possibly be. cargo lights schematic is on page 2-38, which shows the cargo lamp relay controlled by BCM X6 pin 26 (which the BCM pinout refers to as "standing lamp relay" for some reason)
  3. Has anyone figured out how to get the task lights to come on with the puddle lights?
  4. You can take out your resonators for more rumble at idle as well.
  5. What radar is this?
  6. Does anyone think that a 4" outlet would fit? Seems like there is still a little bit of room but I am not sure.
  7. May have to do with your BCM. I would love to have the auto up feature for the rear windows but Im not sure if thats possible either.
  8. Ive got some and Im located in Greenville NC. Were taken off the truck almost immediately for amp steps to accommodate a lift kit. Asking $1000
  9. All of you replied yet none of you have an answer or even close to a response to his question. He didn't ask for criticism nor anything else negative. If he wants to purposefully blow his engine up thats his own issue. I do not think however, that blowing his engine up is his goal. He simply just wants the truck to be able to rev past 3k so he can hear (assuming he has exhaust) his truck. Nothing wrong with that especially if he doesn't do it often. To answer his question though, maybe someone like Edge has something similar to the Pulsar who can remove the rev limiter like the speed limiter. I haven't really looked for anything specific but thats where I'd start.
  10. How much? I am interested in adding another illuminated emblem on my tailgate.
  11. Would it be possible to switch grills with an elevation? They come stock with a black grill. An issue I could see with that though is you have the technology package and the camera upfront could interfere with that.
  12. https://www.sharptruck.com/truck-hardware-finishing-caps This site seems to have a solution that should look OEM. Not much on the reviews but this has been all I could find.
  13. Any chance that someone has messed around with this?
  14. I cant really tell a difference between the carbon and onyx black. Can anyone else tell a difference?
  15. An easy fix is to order some LED's from someone like Lasfit. You can replace the reverse lights, as well as license plate lights for about $40 total. Only takes about 10 minutes to pop out and pop in.
