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

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

How much light does that grille block? from the pictures it looks like the grille is basically covering half the bar

Has anyone found a wire for the 10 minute retained acc power? All of the ones I have found only retain power until the door is opened. I want to be able to leave the light on after I open the door but not be on a always on so I can't forget to turn it off and drain the batt. Right now I have my relay for my light triggered by a wire off of the high beam but I'm installing some double throw switches in the console so the bar can be off, on with highs, or on with 10 minute RAP. I'm also going to do the same for my backup pods along with a jumper from reverse to the bed lights.

1 20" combo beam

1 30" spot beam only

2 rigid Dually D2 driving pattern for fog lights

 

This set up lights up a dark road. No more need for the high beams on low light roads

Looks good.

 

Where's the best place to run your wiring from the bars and into the cab to mount the switch?

The new 30" bar is a bit more cool white than the 20" but with how bright they are it's hard to tell when you look at them. They light up the road like crazy! And the 30" also matches the rigid pods!

 

If anyone wants more pics at any specific angle or of anything in particular, let me know and I can post here or send me a PM and I can send it to you that way.

 

Here's a link to the 30"

I ran the wire from both my bars on a double harness. From the bars they ran up in between the passenger headlight and the air box and used 3m double sided tape to stick it underneath the little overhang on the side. Ran it to the battery from there and then down the backside of the passenger wheelwell. There is a large opening the you can just drop the wire through and it will be easy access under the truck. From there I drilled a small hole (just big enough to fit the harness wire through) in the small circular plastic piece under the passenger footwell carpet. Ran the wire under the carpet and into the center console and spliced the power for the light on the switch to a cig lighter under the infotainment center. And Finally I have the switch sitting in the forward top corner of the small storage compartment on the driver side of the center floor console

 

I will take a pic of the switch. It's in a great spot. Hidden, out of the way, but not far or difficult to access.

Sorry guys for the late pics. You will notice against the garage regular low beam and then the new D2 Rigids. Also pics of the truck. Just love the lights and how they work! Outstanding to say the least.

Do you drive with your fog lights on? I just installed mine today, and they are BRIGHT!

 

Just curious..

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its just that it worked on 2024 trucks on this forum and my 2025 model truck, unless GM did something since that point to screw up access or Autel has a bad update. I haven't had need to use my tool since last year when I did the changes to the placard pressure settings and since then I updated the software on my Autel but have not plugged into the OBD so hard to say if I would get a surprise as well.    All I know last year when I bought the Autel I was warned to be sure to update it before I tried using the unit as they said who knows how long ago unit itself was actually manufactured as the software could be way out of date.

      And so you had gone through the process of registering and updating the tool and so on ?. All I can say is that on the front page as the tool fires up you go to advanced mode, then vehicle model comes up and you choose Silverado ( not the DRW or EV  since your a single rear wheel ) , then I think its choice 2 which is 07/2021 - 12/2026 ( 433mhz 13542523 ) as that is the series of tpms sensors and then go down to choice 5 which is tire type/pressure selection. Hit yes and it says to connect to OBD port and turn ignition on.    Having said this, I updated the software in my tool lately and these year range choices look different from the past due to them doing some updates it would appear and I have not connected up to the OBD port since last year so hopefully I am not in for a surprise with them screwing up the software and that it won't work on my truck anymore either.    So my question is, when you plugged into the OBD and started your truck it had that message on the Autel screen "vehicle not supported" ?. That does seem odd as tire shops would be pissed right off if hey can't use their tool on the model year after mine that in theory is supposed to be much the same truck ... unless GM did some change in the computer system to block certain things from access.

      Understanding and using modern scan tools is its own body of knowledge. I had little hope that would work...programming access to the BCM is probably required and that is not easy for us consumers. Expensive scan tool, GM programming subscription, online authentication, etc.   It also may be a matter of finding the right dealer to program it for you. Flashing a modern BCM might be a little too advanced for most tire shops.

      AUX switch install

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Update for anyone following:    Installed everything as shown in diagram. Opted for 8 AWG from Battery Positive to a 50A resettable inline breaker. 8 AWG is tied into to 2x 12 AWG wires feeding a 6 way fuse bus in parallel (manufacturer’s design of what I purchased).    4 of the 6 fuses available for circuits are tied to terminal 30 of each relay. I tied a jumper from one of my spare circuits off the bus to terminal 86 of each relay. The trigger, terminal 85, was pulled from my interior by way of T-Taps from the X61A-X5 pins 10, 11, 17 and 23. This was the hardest part of the job. Even with the X61A unbolted and the X5 removed - there was VERY little wiggle room.  I added back up lights that I want to come on with my cargo lamp - but when I would check continuity between S48A-X1 pin 18 to its respective landing point on the X61A-X5 it triggers the factory relay… Instead I opted for a add-a-fuse on the passenger interior fuse panel (fuse location 10 - cargo lamp) and ran it through the boot on the driver side to my load. Did this to avoid introducing any electrical gremlins.   Note: Please check for continuity between the S48A-X1 and the X61A-X5. In my case wire colours were not the same as other’s who have posted. To do a continuity check you need a Multimeter. Completely disassemble the S48A-X1 and remove the brown face plate off the X61A-X5 by way of a flat head screwdriver - this was the only way I could get any results.   The outputs, terminal 87 of the relays, were fed into a junction box and landed at Individual studs and were labelled Aux 1-4.    At this point, all you need to do is run wire to your loads and bring them to ground. I created a negative bus in the engine bay, all my negatives land here.    For anyone having issues with all of your new aux switch lights coming on with the press of one - I noticed this only to be an issue when the battery wasn’t hooked up to my relays? No idea why, but it was quickly corrected by having my system buttoned up and functional.

      Well I ordered the Autel ts508, and it won't work on my truck I tried all the 2023 and everything it just says vehicle not supported lol   I'm able to send this unit back, so I'm going to do that, then I'll just stop into a some tire shops and if none of them are able to do it, I guess ill have to spend a bunch of money to get a good scanner..... Thanks GM lol
