How has this setup held up? Were those nut certs?

Hey guys, I haven't posted on this forum yet but I have read and got a lot of great ideas.

Forgive me if this has already been posted but i put in a rough country 30" curved light bar behind my grill. The light bar itself is more pricey than a Chinese light bar but seems of good quality. The real reason I bought it was for the mounting bracket. It's awesome, a few bolts and that's it. No cutting, drilling, or measuring. And there wiring harness is of excellent quality also. Wrapped in braided nylon of some kind. Plug and play with the Totron wireless remote. And that remote does work with the home link. You can order the bracket without the light bar if you wanted to find a cheaper one (I'm assuming other light bar brands would work but I would check your actual sizes). And on there website it only has the Sierra bracket (they say the Chevy bracket was different?) in a package with a single row light bar. I just called and ordered the double row 30" curved with the gmc bracket. Great customer service just call with any questions and they have really fast shipping. Looks great on my 2015 Sierra all terrain, and my buddy did it the same way on his 16 sierra Slt.

I was talking about this another thread. They only show sierras on their website that have the all terrain grill. What about the SLT and SLE grills? Would the double row light bar fit right in the bottom opening of those grills? I really want to order thier double row kit with the sierra brackets but want to make sure it centers the light bar in bottom opening of the SLE grill.

My buddy and I did this at the same time and he has an SLT 2016 it fit in the bottom opening of the grill. where on my all terrain its in the middle. If you check out the pics of there brackets on the instructions there are multiple positions you could put it. We didn't try any other ones cause he wanted the bottom slot in the grill.

That doesn't look too bad for a mounting bracket. I would consider them as an option.

Paint my fog light corner and my miroir white. Add 19'' led bar and Morimoto 9012 HID Headlights (5500K bulbs with 35W ballasts) and 5202 HID fog light (5500K bulbs with 35W ballasts). I will check to add 54'' curved light bar.

I just finished installing the Rough Country light bar kit with a switch. How do you guys route the hardwired switc from the engine bay to the cabin? I can't seem to find a way through the firewall. I ended up routing the wire from the side door hinge and underneath the weatherstripping. I put some electrical tape on the metal frame so the wire won't get chaffed. But there's gotta be a better way.

There is a small circle on top of the large grommet in the driver side of the firewall. Cut a slit in it and fish your wire through. This is the method recommended for routing the power wires for the GM kicker system. Tip: remove the 3 nuts holding the power distribution box on the interior and move it slightly out of the way to make it easier to fish the wires through the firewall. I have installed my kicker power wires and rough country harness through here with no trouble.

    • There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.                  
    • drive the truck back to the dealer and complain that the button works.

    • I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip. 
    • Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
