A double row works well behind the Denali grill. Here's my 30" curved Totron:                 The LED's are 1" appart and the rows of holes in the grill just happen to be 1" ap

The correct term is "illegal commodities broker" thank you!   I actually work for an oil company, which is similar because both businesses provide highly desired products at artificially inflated

I had a good look at the Denali the opther day and I dont think a behind the grill light is going to work, and the painted bumpers make modifying a bitch.

 

I'm going to consider the Rigid 50" curve over the windshield.....dont really want to make it look that agressive, but I want lighting for backroads.

I was thinking about this also. Probably go with a cheaper brand though. I was worried about wind noises; anyone have any experience with the big 50"

I'd like to see this. I'd like to stay at OEM+ looking as possible but would love some extra bad ass lighting .... and maybe strobes just for fun.

Not on a nice, clean GM truck. lol...but I had a 50" on my JK Rubicon....noise wasn't so much an issue....although there were no weird whistles or anything. The 50" Rigid threw an amazing amount of light though. I am also considering the Baja Designs 52...but it is more $$$$ than the Rigid.

 

A friend has one on his Raptor and loves it.....incredible capacity our of the BD stuff.

 

(AEV Rubicon with a hemi and 38's, so noise wasnt a problem)

It's virtually impossible to get an accurate representation of a light's output if the camera is facing the source. Might look cool but offers no real comparable information.

 

The best proof of brightness is to park about 50' from a plain wall (painted white if possible) and take pics of the wall, first with only the headlights on and then again with only the aftermarket lights on. And don't forget to mention if your headlights are stock, 35w HID, or 55w HID in the picture posting.

The rigids are nice but I'm not going to drop that cash for something I might only use once every other month. Hunting season is a different story but that's not all year around. I will be getting a curved 50" if I decide to but still up in the air.

 

I'm only running 33's. I hear a lot of jeep owners complaining about humming and whistling from these bars. Not too sure if that's just because its open design or what.

MIne wasnt bad at all, but I used the Poison Spider mounts, maybe other mounts were different. Either way, on a box with an engine, you cant expect much. My biggest concern about the mounts for these trucks is the effect on the "triple doors seals" where the mounts sit underneath and if they would create more noise through the seals.

 

I expect to use the light all the time when driving in northern regions and logging roads for Moose and Elk etc...so I dont mind paying for the really good stuff like Rigid or BD. That being said, it's my company truck so it's also a tax deduction. ;)

      It's possible the two trucks are using different body control modules which is why yours works and the OP's doesn't.   So much in these newer vehicles depends on model/trim configurations, production date. They don't all use the same modules like back in the day.

      I forgot to answer the question as per what market mine is set to and yes I finally found that area on mine and yes its also set to America.   So here's something I realized as I wasn't looking at that part in the Sierra section until now, your right that what I see here as choice 3 under Sierra which says 07/2023-06/2026 ( 433 MHz 13542523 ) it has no choice 5 for tire pressure selection. Where as it does under the Chev choice. However I kept going down the list within the Sierra and I am really wondering if choice 9 will work for your truck as it has the same model number and hertz sensor as my truck. I would say try that choice first, if that doesn't work then jump over to the Chev section and again choose that same model and hertz choice as for some reason the Chev section gives the choice 5 of tire type/pressure selection for going back a number of years. Could very well be an Autel thing that they just didn't get the updates all done properly under Sierra but anyway first try that selection 9 I suggested under Sierra and then go from there.

      Anyone have a spare?

      Looking for this piece that holds the hose clamp in place. I have the hose clamp just not that other piece. Dealers and wrecking yards in my area will not sell just that piece. They want you to buy the whole air tube $100 +/- to get that $5 part.  that piece isn't molded to the air tube as I looked at my friends truck. It's held on by a screw and nut. I'm trying to put the OEM parts on the truck as the previous owner butchered things up installing an aftermarket CAI. It really looked homemade. 🤣 Thanks

      Ok I missed that part that yours is a GM. The strange part is that the choice for year ranges and within the year of 2026 is different on the Sierra then on the Chev for some reason as I am looking at my tool at the Sierra choices. Now I am guessing you see as to your sensor part number as it may be different on your truck for some reason and a call to GM should get you the part model number of the sensors you should have as well as which MHz your sensors are. I know mine are the ones as per what I listed but there are other choices in the Autel and got me wondering if by some chance they put different ones in your truck. Having said that, did you try using each of the choices starting from No 1 and going on down the list, not sure if that would mean shutting off the engine each time and resetting the tool and going at it again each time. Also I thought of something else which may sound retarded but if there was some stupid chance that the chev choice would work. The reason I say that is that the Sierra is showing a range up to 06/2026 for the various choices of sensors it could be where as the Chev has one choice that has that 12/2026. By the way it is possible to not run the truck and you may know that as per not pressing the brake but pressing and holding the start button for a few seconds and it lights up the dash ( its called service mode ) but that sucks battery power and if it were me doing it that way I would be throwing on a decent sized battery charger before doing it that way as killing your battery won't make you happy at me at all !.    Like I say, just a thought to try the Chev choices if you have already exhausted the Sierra choices but first it would be nice to know for sure what exact sensor model and hertz your truck uses as I assume only those choices that mention the sensor would work unless a choice that does not mention the sensor model would somehow work. Its frustrating when one is trying to use tools like this without the experience of the tool and the vehicle, as I am sure dealer techs themselves struggle with it when starting out or a new model year comes along that is slightly different.

      I tried before I updated the scan tool just incase an update messed it up, but it never worked so I updated the scan tool and it still didn't work.   Only difference is I click on Sierra not Chevrolet cause I have a Sierra.   If I click on 2026-2024 I didn't have any option to change placard, when I click on 2023 it does give me the option but when I try to do it,.it says vehicle not supported!   I have my region or market or whatever it is set to America I think, is that what yours is set to?
