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

Nice work. Another clearer shot of that grille please.

I'll try and get one tomorrow. It's snowing here and truck is dirty so I normally don't post pics of it dirty! Ha. If not I'll get one soon when it is clean. Maybe this one will work for now. This was before I did black tow hooks and the center bumper piece and then the rigids.

Nice work. Another clearer shot of that grille please.

Thinking of going along those lines for my front grille. I think I want to stick with the DENALI chrome look, but nix the GMC emblem so it's cleaner. Your ride looks very tied together with that rigid fogs that couple with your light bar [emoji106]

Thanks. Its a 30" curved from Totron. This thing is freaking bright! I'm very happy with the purchase.

I did this about a month back and found that it is actually pretty easy. I do have a few reccommendations though.... Buy a wireless remote/harness. Then you don't have to bother running wires through into your cab or mounting a switch. Also, you can program your remote to your garage door opener for a cost of around $50 CAD. It was a no brainer to me.

As for mounting the light, I just drilled holes in the cross braces that are behind the grill and mounted to that. The light I bought was a curved 33", and it just happened to line up perfectly to the spot in my grill.

Taking off the grill isn't actually that hard. I just watched a youtube video and had it off in less than 20 minutes. 4 bolts on top, 2 on either side by the wheel well, then 4 underneath (2 of those are a bitch to get at). I've had it off twice now, so its getting easier.

Hope this helps.

Took your advice and I think it is going to be way better. Started doing it this weekend but ran out of daylight before I got the grill off. The 7mm bolts on the side are super tight and I can't get a wrench or a socket up in there.

Paul,

would you be able to post a brand or link to the setup that would let me use my home link buttons as a driving light control?

Most wireless controllers will let you. You'll just have to hold button on the wireless controller and on the home link. I have a lot from Ebay that worked just fine and a buddy of mine has 2 harnesses that are both hooked to different home link buttons

Has anyone used the Putco universal mount behind the grill?

 

Here is a link to it: http://www.realtruck.com/putco-universal-led-light-bar-mounts/R184129P2014Y856MA.html

Kind of expensive for behind the grill in my opinion. I used a 3 foot 1x1 aluminum tubing painted black for about 12 bucks and just bolted it to the arms holding the radiator. Actually mounting the light bar was the easiest part to me, it was getting the grill off and on that took some time.

Has anyone found a pic or have a Tow hook light bar mount? May have already been one on here, but I don't recall seeing one. I've seen a ton for Dodges, but none for the new chevy. I don't like the behind the grill look personally, and don't want to drill into my bumper or buy a $1,000 grill and think the tow hook look is clean.

Just FYI, it'll interfere with the front license plate.

 

Here's how I did mine:

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
