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.

Does anyone have a link to putting hid lights in a spyder projector headlight? Love the look of the light but the light output sucks so I added hids but still not having much luck any help or links are appreciated thanks

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.

here's one with just the engine bay lights:

and one of some lights I installed in the bed:

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?

I have been looking all week into getting a 32" but the 40" like this looks way better. How much trimming did you have to do? any other install pic?

Anyone ever put newer 2014-2016 seats in a 07-13 I just scored a set for dirt cheap and and my factory ones are destroyed by the previous owner

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?

Are the links on the first page working for anyone? It just redirects me back to this thread.

Same for me too

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

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
