I installed a Spyder all red third brake light to eliminate the factory cargo lamp. Had to re-wire it so all the led's light up as a brake light. I put in led under rail lights in the bed and have a tonneau cover so the cargo lamp was useless.

Anyone try adding an LED off-road light bar behind grille to make it hide away, but add the extra light? End goal for the vmax of mine is a zone 3" lift and wheels n tires but was considering a off road bar but want it hide it. Looking for mounting suggestions without cutting grille just let it shine throughout the mesh

 

I put some inexpensive, but actually pretty decent lights ( my grill. You can definitely still see that the lights are there, but they are kind of hidden. Unfortunately I am away from my truck for a few weeks for business and all I have on my computer is a picture at night with them on. Also visible in the picture is a light I installed under the hood to make working in the engine bay a little brighter. I will answer any questions and can take more pictures once I get back home.

There is a kit I bought on eBay that when you turn your brights on it includes the fogs if that would be anything you'd be interested in, works damn good other than I wasn't too big on the scotch lock they sent so I soldered and heat shrank my connections.

 

 

Do you happen to have a link to the kit, or know what it was called?

How about to replace the POS rear drum brakes that a small number of us got screwed with? Would love to install OEM rear disc brakes.

In case anyone is wondering what Tahoe 20" OEM wheels powdercoated in Prismatic Super Grip Black mounted on 35" MTs look like, here you go:

Thanks to this thread, I updated my 2007 GMC Sierra SLE to now include Homelink garage door openers, Steering wheel radio controls, and DIC buttons and all the features that come with them..

 

I bought all the parts used off ebay for must less than $200 so everything was just remove and replace, no messing with swapping items, cutting plastics, or splicing wires. I'm so glad I didn't wait to located a puller for the steering wheel. It is way easy to pull off, almost smacked myself in the chin with it. All three items only took a about 45 minutes (again thanks to reading this thread).

 

 

 

Has anyone tried to upgrade their HVAC controls from manual to temp sensing automatic? I know they save money by using universal harnesses when feasible, but I'm thinking the temp sensors are worth enough to omit. Not sure where they are located, but it wouldn't surprise me if the necessary wiring exists. Might be part of the CAN bus.

 

Next on my list is GPS, BLuetooth, and Backup Camera. Going with one of these:

Also looking for a way to add a small sub to a standard cab if anyone has ideas?

You can copy the text (not where the hyperlink actually points to) and it will take you to the correct threads.

    • I've had good experience with my Android head unit.    
    • You should be evaluating enough comparable trucks to know if one sounds different than the others - if you can't tell something is amiss by ear, it's probably fine.   Further evaluate enough trucks so that you can determine what 'normal' looks, sounds and feels like. Even if this is the first truck you're looking at and want to buy, go look at several more (regardless of whether you intend to buy them).   Insist on taking the vehicle to be evaluated, spend some time looking ALL OVER IT, look for overspray where it shouldn't be, paint damaged on bolt heads that are not normally removed. Check for rust, missing fasteners, non-factory style fasteners, suspiciously new parts especially on non-wear items. Check for leaks, check fluid conditions and level (dirty isn't the worst thing in the world but exceptionally low is).   Ignore tire shine and plastic dressing that makes an engine 'shiny'.    Beware of heavily fragranced interiors to mask odd odors that could hide potential mold from a leaky rear window.   Carfax is barely worth the paper it printed on. DO NOT trust it, a vehicle can be wrecked, fixed by a bunch of drunk hillbillies in their cousin's backyard and still have a clean Carfax. I can meticulously maintain my vehicle at home with top quality parts, materials and methods, the Carfax won't show a thing.   Taking it to a shop to have a teenager working afterschool (an inexperienced mechanic) evaluate it is a waste of time.   Lastly, a good, well taken care of truck will present itself as such, it would be generally comparable to a new truck. An uncared-for truck will show it, dents, scratches, seat stains, paint swirls, tears, scuffs, marks, rattles, vibrations, clunks, miss matched tires, etc... 
    • If you suspect an engine swap or similar modification to the front accessory drive...   Maybe try spending some time plugging in different make/models/years that utilized the same engine (prime donor vehicles or swap candidates), vans, full-size cars (Impala, Roadmaster), 4x4 trucks to get a collection of pump and brackets that are similar along with their associated part numbers; take that collection of part numbers to the parts store to compare.   Another Okie.
    • There are knowns and unknowns.   Knowns:   - LT, RST and LTZ names/trims are gone.  The new "Silverado" trim level replaces all 3 of those.  You should be able to configure the Silverado trim to match the equipment levels of those three trims.    Unknowns:    - Custom.  No mention of what engines it will have access to.  Dual exhaust being standard does seem to confirm a V8 option for the Custom trim though.  My "guess" is that Custom will have access to the Turbomax and the 5.7.  I could be wrong though.  The current Custom trim went 2.7 Turbomax only the last 4-5 years, and only had a single side exit exhaust.     - 40-20-40.  I would imagine that is NOT going away.  They only focused on showing the new interior on the top trims, Trail Boss, ZR2 and High Country, hence the images shown are just bucket trucks up front.         The info should start coming fairly quickly over the next weeks and months.  Production is supposed to start up later this year, so when the order guide launches, you'll be able to see the configurations of engines, cabs, seating, etc.      
    • I don’t do offloading other than a dirt road literally for me it’s more about the look which I really appreciate a nice looking truck and I like sitting a higher and not just because I’m 5 foot seven lol..  I’m also not compensating for anything lol..  but I truly think it’s safer on the road the higher you sit you have better visibility generally speaking especially a few of your Sideview mirrors adjusted correctly. They do make a programmer rough country does they’re $1000 for these new 2500s but when I do a gear swap that would be a moot point. A lot of the shops that I go to in my area they’re all saying the same thing that Yukon Detroit axle Eaton Spicer Richmond they don’t have gear shot for these trucks which surprises me because hasn’t this body style been out since 2020? I’m hoping soon they have something because yeah I’ll have to spend the 3K to get both axles done. Thank you for all of your response responses. I apologize if there’s any grammatical error errors as I’m doing speech to text on my iPhone without proofreading
