New here. Pick up my '15 tomorrow.

Looks very nice.

GMC in the bed looks great too.

The factory bed liner is perfect. So glad I clicked that option. Truck shops would struggle to replicate that's for sure.

I agree. Mine looks like turds compared to that.

Is that emblem molded into the bed or added on then sprayed over?

Headlight out AGAIN

 

Morimoto kit is not making me happy :/

I had the same issue with my DDM kit. One light went out every so often. Check the relay, that's where my problem was.

I'm blowing ballasts

Not trying to go off topic but since you are gaving a problem similar to one I had, you need to check a few things. First, Is it the same ballast every time? What brand of HID's, what color temperature, and what type ballast are you running?

Have you checked for a good ground connection?

 

I don't have HID's in my trucks but I do have them installed in my ATV's. I had a ballast issue with a ballast constantly blowing and it ended up being that the ballast was not getting the proper voltage.

 

HID's are known to be stubborn, very voltage sensitive, not enough volts and you may end up with a blown ballast, too high voltage and you may end up with a blown ballast again.

 

 

If you keep blowing the ballast, there is definitely a problem with the power getting to the ballast OR a bad ground to the light. Check yout relay to be sure the proper voltage is getting past the relay on the side that is constantly blowing. If that checks out to be fine, check the ground side of the circuit to see if you may be having a problem with voltage dropping. If the ground is good, there should be very little voltage at your connection, you probably already know that.

 

When you are testing the voltage, I actually used the normal factory style headlight bulb so there was a load on the circuit while testing and so I did not destroy another brand new HID ballast. I just plugged in the factory connection for the headlight in place of the ballast connection.

 

I solved the voltage issue with my ATV's HID ballast issue this way. It ended up being a bad ground on one side.

 

 

"MIKE1220", beautiful truck you have there. The way you have it set up is perfect! The amount of chrome is just right and those wheels are really eye catching with the chrome accents.

Alternating sides and I'm using a wiring harness. It's the Sierra Spec kit from TRS with the capacitor link for voltage stabilization.

 

I'm gonna try a different brand and see if it changes things

Not sure what GM is doing to add the Chevy symbol, gmc, or Denali to the bed of the truck. There isn't bolt holes or anything exposed. May be some composite material glued on...just my assumption.

My truck is scheduled to be at my dealership the 27th. I should've checked off the spray in liner. Oh well, I'll go to the trusty line-x.

Thanks man, I have new rims on the way, soon I'll have an RCX 6" w/ Fuel Lethal 20x9 wrapped in Mickey Thompson Deegan 38s in a 35x12.5x20. I can't wait.
