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

Has anyone fit a 40" light bar behind the grill? Or is 30 inch the max that'll fit? I thought I remember reading somewhere that you can get a 40inch behind the grill.

I believe the 30" is the max but I'm sure with some cutting of the plastic sides that are behind the grill you could fit a 40" with no problem.

You can get a 40" to fit. I've seen straight and curved 40" bars behind the grille of these trucks. You'll just need to do some trimming to some of the plastic.

Thanks for this! I see you've got one behind your grill. Do you think mounting it behind the grill has lessened the ability of the LED bar to put light out to either side of the road up close? Like, does the beam still cover a wide area?

My bar is spot beam only. And I always recommend it so that the most light from the bar can get through the grille. I feel like the width of the beam would be hurt by the width so I went for the spot only.

It seems much harder to find the Spot Beam only LED Bars, at least while searching Amazon. What's the name of yours?

No name. Got it on eBay for $90. I think it was from seller Online-LED-store. I'll check

 

Edit: I can't find the transaction on eBay nor do I see the seller. Though I know it was from eBay and I'd be willing to bet money that the seller was "Online-LED-store".

Or buy spot LED light bar directly from China. My brother, sister in-law, and I buy our bars from China. After years of using it, it still lights up well. No burn LED or anything.

If looking for a light bar, I intend to go with the OPT 7 ones. They're a lot cheaper than say, Rigid (Which is crazy expensive), and the OPT 7 LED bulbs and LED pod I ordered after seeing one in person look very well built. I am reading through this thread right now though, looking for switch installations... I haven't figured out where to put the switches inside the truck.

No worries! I'll do some more searching on this.

I just checked them out they do look nice and are also relatively cheap. I like that you can specifically choose Spot Beam when ordering.

I just measured the opening of the grill. Seems like it's 37 inches or so. It almost seems like you might as well get a 30 / 32 inch bar and save yourself the extra work of the 40 inch to get it to fit. Plus all the light on the 40 wouldn't be making it to the road (based on my quick measurement.)

 

I could be wrong.

      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.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      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

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.
