The question of where to locate RAP (Retained Accessory Power) on the NBS trucks seems to come up often so I thought I would post this info for everybody. RAP is available to us in the MBEC (Mid-Buss

I just ordered the GM plug from gmpartsdirect. Just so I am getting this right, i stick that in the location you gave and wire it up to a relay right. I am planning on wiring that relay from the battery, and then to an accessory fuse block that I installed for my stuff (tv's, etc). Is this right?

The feed to the block is already fused. There is no need to draw directly from the battery unless you are drawing more than 30 amps.

I will be drawing 30 amps exactly. I'm not all that electrically savvy... So the power will just come from my connector in to the relay?

So I just got my connector from GM ( after backorder) and it doesn

 

't look like the one in the picture. Mine is a connector-plug-guy with ONE blue wire coming out of it, is this right?

That's the right one. Pop the red clip out and use a really tiny screw driver to disengage the tap that holds in the pin/blue wire. Now insert the pins as shown above except don't cover them with shrink wrap and reinsert the red clip.

Gotcha, it is all making sense now, when it came with one wire I had a shit-fit thinking I ordered the wrong one.

 

So from what I have read so far, I am going to do up

 

-Blue wire from the relay harness pigtail jobby in to pin 5 for 30 amps (since I need 30 amps)

-Black wire from relay pigtail to Pin 1 (where the blue wire is currently located)

-White wire from relay pigtail to Pin 8 for RAP FEED

-The Red wire is removed and not used

-Yellow wire feeds my accessory fuse block, which feeds out to al my junk

I think the "nbs" part of the title should be renamed to GMT900 or 07-11 to avoid confusion with the 800 trucks that were once the "new body" style. I have figured out the connector part # and pinout of the 800 trucks and plan to make a write-up like this one. I almost ordered the wrong part number for my truck because the post doesnt list the years, only the vague "nbs."

Can I use this to connect my remote wire to my amp?

 

Yep

 

 

 

 

Kool, thanks. That relay you used is on back order, can I use any 5 pin relay? I found another one on the same site to buy.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Atlas · Posted

      One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...

      L8S For 2027

      By C/K Man · Posted

      'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine.

      New Duramax rumor?

      New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.

      I would never do anything but lithium.   If the vehicle is stored, just turn the disconnect off. My batteries are completely disconnected form everything in the trailer when my disconnect is off. Trailers don't always come that way as some still keep the CO/LPG monitor on. When mine is off...it is off.   As far as storage temps, LiFePO4 are good down to -20°C. I would store them in a heated place if it goes below that. You can also get heating mats with a thermostat if power is available.   The way the heaters work, if it's below 0°C, if a charge comes in, it is directed entirely to the heater until the battery gets above 0°C and then it allows the charge to go to the battery.   For my Android tablet I use as a display, I can move it inside my house if I was ever in an area that got super cold.
