At the shop I worked at we would be busy after the holidays adding power ports so people can have GPS/Radar Dector/Sat Radio without wires on their dash so I made these so people can do it themselves thanks to the upfitters port. I made 5 of each.

 

Ignition Power - $20 shipped (10 Amp max current)

 

RAP with relay - $40 shipped (30 Amp max current)

 

Everything is properly crimped and soldiered.

I have the 2007 Sierra Classic SLE, would this RAP connector work for this vehicle? If so I will be purchasing one from you.

 

 

 

Thanks,

I wanted to dig this thread up and thank Chris. I ordered one the other day. It arrived today. Took only a few minutes to install. The hardest part was running the wires out of sight. I attached my GPS to my left and my radar detector under the rear-view mirror. Tapping into the Power Port was supper easy (I already had the hard wiring kit for my Escort) as Chris marked the hot wire for me.

 

Thanks again!

 

Oh yeah... if you ever come up with something for a 2011 Traverse, I'll be first in line. My wife is on my case about setting up her GPS!!!

So I realize I'm digging up a 2 year old thread, but are these still available? If not could you give me the specs and info I would need to make one for my own use? I have no plans to sell them. Thanks!

 

I have a 2012 Silverado Ext Cab LT and I'm looking for the one with the relay. Planing on hooking up a radar detector, CB and 10m Radio with an amp. So I will need the extra power draw.

 

(BTW - 1st Post - Thanks in advance for any help yall can provide!)

Looks like a neat product. First time I have seen them! Seems easily enough to recreate just need the plug. That would be the problem finding that i would imagine.

I messaged cgalford (Chris) and he replied said he has the parts except for the cigarette lighter end.

 

I have ordered one of the connectors and was planning on trying to do this my self. If that plan fails I'm hoping he can help me out.

Thanks for the great idea! I will update this when I get a resolution.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.
