I bet it balled up above the BCM. Try a coat hanger wire with some bright tape or paint on the end. I like to use a cheap motorcycle exhaust spring tool.

 

i wrapped about a foot of wire with blue electrical tape when going through the rubber kinda made it inward toward the steering wheel there is some slack there and it popped out right above the bcm

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

Well I fed the wring through the hole in the grommet a few times and couldn't see anything coming through to the cab. Definitely fed enough wiring for it to make it into the cab, so not sure where it is going. Any tips advice or pics as to where the wiring should come through? I couldn't get it done

 

and I also warped all 3 wires tight (tape) went first try

thanks guys. got it wired up. Turns out the blue was my signal wire, so i plugged it into my fuse #58. I grounded off the black to the truck and capped off the white.

 

 

I am thinking about wiring up the same way with my led bar. Which harness were you using??

I didn't see if anyone has measured how long of a light bar will fit behind the grill of a 2015 Silverado 2500? I'd like to do a 40" bar, but Im not sure if it would fit, and I don't want to rip my grill off in the lovely Chicago weather we are having right now.

May get better luck in the 2500-3500 section. This one deals with 1500s mostly

Corwest, I posted there too, but I know for the most part, the measurements "should" be the same.

If they are not the same the I would imagine that you would have more room. Therefore I do not think you will have much issue fitting a 40" behind there. I know a member has fit a high powered single row 37" and I also posted a pic of a single row Rigid Industries bar behind a Sierra grille. I can't imagine that there would be much difference in area behind the grill between the 2 bodies. Go for the 40"! It should fit, you just may need to do some minor trimming and have to find a mounting spot. If you want to be safe do a 30" I know that will mount easily as I have that behind mine :) good luck with your bar! Gonna look good behind the grille of that truck.

 

 

Honestly, If I were you (or at least the owner of a 2500 Silvy) I would try to take advatage of that area under your grille. Maybe remove those 2 Platic side pieces and see if you can fit 2 or more dual row 30-40" bars. I would go with some good ole Ebay bars if you do multiple in that position to keep costs down.

This is very true. Whether it works for 6months or it works for a year. It would take you buying a few of those before you equal the price of a rigid bar!

Keep in mind that post was a while back when talking about a 50" bar that someone found for <$90! Haha. I got my 30" for $90 and put it behind my grille. I haven't had any issues. Hopefully it won't need to be changed out ever Edited by Mike1220

Just an update. I mounted another 32" bar behind my LTZ grill. I'm loving the light it puts out.

Got any night pics with just the single bar you installed compared to lows and then the double bar you installed compared to lows? Wondering if I should go with the single row LED or the double row LED bar. I have the Z71 grille too and it seems like it would block a decent amount of the light if I got the double row like you did.

 

Thanks!

No I dont have any pictures and wont be home for awhile. But I ran the single for about a week before i put the 2nd one on and there is considerable more light. I expected barely any light spread or distance being behind that z71 grill but i was amazed how much actually gets through. Best 200$ i've ever spent on truck upgrades. Itll prob be a month but i'll try to take some pictures.

Just finished my install this weekend of our 24w flush mount pods. Used the Rigid mount plate and drilled a few holes for the flush mount. I like the look better using the flush mount. The Rigid D2 looks a little unfinished as you can see gaps around it between the light and plate. And the flush mounts match the shape of the headlights a bit. If anyone needs these we carry them for $40 each.

      I tried tapping it.  This might sound like a dumb question, you should feel vibration or some type of noise when it turns on? Can someone please verify? Thank you all!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I feel better now for my own view point and actions or lack there of towards the dealership service theme reading your post and others. GM corporate is who offers the two free oil changes on the HD trucks and I bought my truck in Feb of 2025 and those oil change offers run out within 2 years I believe and I highly doubt I will be using either one of them. I had asked if I could officially give those free services to another customer ( a friend ) and they said no, its all a GM corporate thing based on the vehicle in question. What that service advisor did however was go into a little story about how such and such customer was denied engine warranty because he had done his own oil changes because then they are not documented ... you see where that goes and so an employee playing the game of scaring the customer into having the service work done there most certainly triggered my thought process. At a later date I did talk to the person who handles warranty claims at the dealership and she said to be sure to document the oil changes and keep receipts for the oil and filter ( coped the receipts from cases of Mobil oil and case of filters I bought from them ) and the vehicles VIN, the date of service, mileage etc and staple that together as a record I would give them if that was ever needed and I keep my own log book for services for each vehicle as well. Oh and about 8 months after I bought the truck the dealer starts calling me to offer a maintenance service since they haven't seen my vehicle show up on their system ... for the mere fee of 300.00 Canadian to change the oil and rotate the tires and a few other minor checks and I declined the offer, I get the call again a couple of months later for the same thing and she could tell I was not interested and she asked if they should take my name off the call list and I said yes, do that !.    By the way did you happen to keep your factory oil filter to open it up and see the surprises inside as I expect some will show up as per the odd little sliver of metal shaving and particles that the filter does trap along with bits of grey silicone sealer that come off of the inside edge of mating surfaces. I have cut open every filter so far on my truck although few miles but have changed the oil often and the second filter was vastly better with very little of anything, that first filter was the unsettling one as I expected it would be.

      I get why they do this…but man…not ideal. I only extract on inboard boat engines because the drains are buried and even then I hate it because it’s easy to leave a quart behind with that method.   They should market it as an “oil refresh” not oil change!

      I only get oil changed where I can watch. Valvoline pulls through the dipstick into a see thru glass. When done they show me the dipstick. About the only way they can mess up is using the wrong oil. But that secret wouldn’t stay secret long. Honda uses TQ wrenches on everything. You can watch through a plate glass window. Discount tires does that with tires. Trust but verify.

      I would not argue that with you. It would be pointless to argue against the truth and you speak the truth.    My question and in fact the entire point of this thread is an exploration into the levers of wear which happens no matter how well we maintain our powertrains.    Some of these levers we exert a good deal of influence over which can and do result is lower wear, longer powertrain life. Some others we are sort of stuck with.    An engine is typically done when the ring to bore seal no longer is able to do the job effectively. Normally the first thing to go in a engine otherwise well maintained and adult driven is this seal.    Looking into the means, methods, products and attitudes that influence the rate of wear seems a worthwhile inquiry to me.
