Thanks GAU8A! And Chris, Sal did the work on my Frontier but Top Gun was over 100 bucks cheaper for the silver truck, and they double hang the tips so you don't have to worry about saggy tips. Forgot to add the wife got me white mirror caps and door handles for Christmas, need to clean the truck up and get pics of those to update my sig

Finally got some time to give the truck some Adam's love, pulled the door moldings, rear bowtie, and clayed the whole truck with their new clay. Layed down some Liquid Paint Sealant and topped it with some Buttery Wax. All I can say is I wish I had done it sooner, the paint is super smooth now. I had some rail dust show up and the clay picked all of it up, and some road stripe paint I picked up sometime ago. Got a pretty good reflection off the side afterwards, too bad the iPhone didn't pick up on it in the other pics.

Would love Corsa, have to wait for them to come out with a system for the '14 first. Been thinking about the Magnaflow system since Autoanything is having a up to 10% discount right now. Colormatch is definitely in the plans but I'm waiting for the PTM pieces to come out. Might dip the silver part on the bumper white for the time being since nothing else is silver on the outside

I’ve had Magnaflow on two previous trucks because they sound so good! Received a lot of compliments from people about how great it sounded, just ordered one for my new truck, will have it Saturday!

I know. I got a friend that goes there, but I used to work with/under Hodges25. He was my immediate superior most of the time

This is my third Magnaflow system, all done by local guys though. There's no salt to worry about down here in Florida so I couldn't justify the stainless price. I thought about buying a system but I like having something different than everyone else exhaust wise.

Boomer Sooner indeed, being deep in SEC country is interesting to say the least, especially after the Sugar Bowl hehehe

I still find it interesting that you are married to someone from Texas and she lets you have that on your truck

Ha, I was thinking the same. I was like damn sweet truck until I came to the OU pic. OK, it's still a sweet truck OP.

      AUX switch install

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Update for anyone following:    Installed everything as shown in diagram. Opted for 8 AWG from Battery Positive to a 50A resettable inline breaker. 8 AWG is tied into to 2x 12 AWG wires feeding a 6 way fuse bus in parallel (manufacturer’s design of what I purchased).    4 of the 6 fuses available for circuits are tied to terminal 30 of each relay. I tied a jumper from one of my spare circuits off the bus to terminal 86 of each relay. The trigger, terminal 85, was pulled from my interior by way of T-Taps from the X61A-X5 pins 10, 11, 17 and 23. This was the hardest part of the job. Even with the X61A unbolted and the X5 removed - there was VERY little wiggle room.  I added back up lights that I want to come on with my cargo lamp - but when I would check continuity between S48A-X1 pin 18 to its respective landing point on the X61A-X5 it triggers the factory relay… Instead I opted for a add-a-fuse on the passenger interior fuse panel (fuse location 10 - cargo lamp) and ran it through the boot on the driver side to my load. Did this to avoid introducing any electrical gremlins.   Note: Please check for continuity between the S48A-X1 and the X61A-X5. In my case wire colours were not the same as other’s who have posted. To do a continuity check you need a Multimeter. Completely disassemble the S48A-X1 and remove the brown face plate off the X61A-X5 by way of a flat head screwdriver - this was the only way I could get any results.   The outputs, terminal 87 of the relays, were fed into a junction box and landed at Individual studs and were labelled Aux 1-4.    At this point, all you need to do is run wire to your loads and bring them to ground. I created a negative bus in the engine bay, all my negatives land here.    For anyone having issues with all of your new aux switch lights coming on with the press of one - I noticed this only to be an issue when the battery wasn’t hooked up to my relays? No idea why, but it was quickly corrected by having my system buttoned up and functional.

      Well I ordered the Autel ts508, and it won't work on my truck I tried all the 2023 and everything it just says vehicle not supported lol   I'm able to send this unit back, so I'm going to do that, then I'll just stop into a some tire shops and if none of them are able to do it, I guess ill have to spend a bunch of money to get a good scanner..... Thanks GM lol

      Needing this part.

      Don't need the air tube but that's how everyone sells them. Most places won't remove that one piece and sell it alone. No money to be made. Hoping someone swapped theirs out for a CAI and no longer wants it. Not asking anyone to give it away. Offering to buy it but I don't need the tube. It's held on by a hex head screw and nut. Been all over eBay.
