I don't have any night pics but it is nice to have. I have the factory led headlights which are bright enough for everything, but the light bar goes over the top. I had a 36" double row behind the grille of my 14 Silverado and 4 20" bars behind the grille of my old dodge and this is just as good or better than those setups.

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

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.

Thanks for the response! I was trying to remove that big rubber grommet with no success. Didn't think about just cutting a slit instead.

 

I'm very pleased with the fitment and the brackets are very well made.

Is anyone running a switched power lead to their light bar switches? Meaning you can leave your light bar switch on and when you turn the truck off it also turns off? Or all you all running constant power to the switch so lights can be used when the truck is off?

 

I'm trying to find a switched fuse position I can use to power a bar and 2 cubes for behind my grill.

Im just wondering if anyone who is Running D or D2 Rigids in the Sierra Fog light bracket has the Rigid Colored covers on their lights. I want some amber covers for when it's foggy but I want to make sure they fit before I order them.

You could use a relay that only allows the light to be on when the headlights are on then it will turn off when the headlights are off.

Can some let me know which switch yall are using that will fit in the cigarette lighter and can be hidden?

 

I'm in the process of gathering all the materials for my build and I'm looking for a hidden switch. I have seen them in the cigarette lighter spots just cant seem to find them.

 

Thanks for the Help.

I love it. Can't even tell when I turn the high beams on when it's on. Working on hooking it to my high.beams. It's wired to a 3-way switch now.

^^looks like you're going into the batcave!!!

 

definitely a cool mod and one that is on my 'to-do' list ... the mod being the LED bar... not the batcave... mind you, having a batcave would be pretty sweet too

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
