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.

    • Sure, but they do have some affordable options like the Trax, Trailblazer, Envista, and Encore. Some of these have a cheaper base price than the Civic, though the fuel economy isn’t as high. The main problem is that people WANT the highest trim with all the goodies and finance for like 7 years. That’s how ppl “afford” the more expensive vehicles. 
    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
