How much light do you lose thought the grill? Looks to shine through pretty well but I'd be curious to see how bright it is

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

Agreed! Can you post pictures from in the cab? Would a 40" fit?

Here is my 37" single in my SLT grill, I did have to trim some of the plastic on the sides to make the 37" fit, you would have to trim quite a bit to get a 40" in there.20140730_224029.jpg

That high beams pattern doesn't look like factory projectors. What kind of headlight projectors do you have?

 

I don't know if you noticed, but your left headlight is higher than the right. The usual setting is opposite. The left should be set so it doesn't glare into oncoming traffic then the right is either set slightly higher or the same.

I'll have to get some pictures after work, I thought I had some but I can't find them. The led is a Mictuning http://amzn.com/B00D7JKM9K it puts off great light but the first time I drove in the rain it fogged up and had condensation in it for a couple of weeks, once it dries out really well I'm going to add some silicon around it. As far as I know the head lights are stock, I haven't done anything to them. The truck was a demo that the finance manager drove. I am starting to think my truck had some front end damage that was repaired by the dealership. When I was pulling the grill to put the light bar on I noticed a couple of screws missing on the driver side inner fender liner and the plastic where the 2 lower middle bolts of the grill, bolt to was broken.

I'll try and get some good night shots soon. A 40" could fit, but you'd need to cut out the blackout portions of the sides of the grill. It may also be more difficult to mount in the location I did.

I'm sure I lose some, but with nearly 15,000 lumens it can lose a bit and still be bright as hell. However, the first time I mounted it I measured wrong putting it 1/2" inch lower so the centers of the LED's were lined up with the horizontal lines in the grill. I do think that had a noticeable affect so be sure and avoid that if you have this grill.

I have the Silverado LT honeycomb grill and just mounted a 20" bar behind that. Thinking that the grill is not going to play nice with it so I may have to get a new one soon.

Looks like you have similar setup to me minus the cubes for the fogs. How much light does the chrome grill kill? Also curious how you did your cubes it looks super clean

Here are my installed pics. The zip ties have been replaced with two pieces of angle bolted together around the support bars. 20140906_18165_edit_1410134906670.jpg

      If there are updates/fixes you want, you could pay to have the updates applied by the dealer.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.
