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 Chuck FB · Posted

      Glad that worked, and in this case that is all on Autel for somehow dropping the ball for not updating the GMC section properly.    I believe in the basic section or unless it is in the advanced, when one does a check of lets say individual sensors for what the pressure is ( and it shows a temperature as well ) , I think it picks up on what the model number of the sensor is in a certain section where you choose "OE" sensor or at least mine is telling me what the model number is and matches to what they actually are and that is the number I quoted in a prior post.    I don't recall now if I had said prior that I discovered with my truck anyway that no matter how low I set the placard pressure for the rear tires, if the physical pressure is under 35 psi and I drive it for about 15 miles the pressure warning will come on for one or both rear tires. I am speculating that there is something else in the trucks system that over rides the placard pressure setting once it drops below that minimum pressure to run a metric LT tire at. The weird thing is it does not trigger right away after driving a shorter distance, it took that longer drive for it to trigger. Just something to keep in mind if you were experimenting with pressures below 35 pounds for a tire designed for lower pressures ( larger than stock floatation series tires ) and not being overloaded of course.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      No clue. Service advisor said he'd call me this morning, which I'm 99% sure won't happen. They had the truck 5 days, and I didn't hear a peep. Finally had to call them yesterday. I guess they'd be content to just let the truck sit in perpetuity.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      I had a little bit of time before I left for work this morning, so I plugged the scanner back in, and I selected Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra, and the very first option was for a 2026 so I selected that one and I seen at the bottom it had the option for psi change unlike in the 2026 GMC Sierra, I selected that option and it took a little longer than the usual vehicle not supported, and sure enough I got into it, and it let my change the psi values.. I no longer have the low psi warning light!   Thank you for recommending me to try it under Chevrolet instead! I can confirm this device does work for a 2026 GMC Sierra 2500 hd 6.6 diesel  just have to select Chevrolet Silverado instead of GMC Sierra.   Maybe I'll contact Autel and let them know of that issue and maybe they will fix it for the GMC option  because some people probably return the scanner due to it not working under GMC Sierra.
