Has anyone installed the newer OSRAM type LED light bar vs CREE?

 

I've been looking at this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZF34KZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_R-vdybZS3QW4V

I actually just installed a Black Oak LED 30" single row light bar behind the grill. I chose the 5w osram option which is in between the 3w osram and 10w cree. The light bar is out of control bright. It's a combo light and the spot beam in the middle has a huge throw! That light will definitely reach out and touch someone. lol. The quality of black oak is second to none and I believe they still are offering 15% off on their sight. The osram leds are no joke. They're stupid bright273236c6b871cce0da08d8560c0cfb51.jpgb8eaf729d9bc3bf531caecba28f071b9.jpg

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

I have a '17 LTZ and bought the rcx 30" curved for behind the grille but my truck apparently has the electronic flaps/louvers and the bar will not fit. Has anyone found a way to make the bar or a similar bar fit?

I also have a 17 and was wondering if the rcx kit would fit with those flaps behind the grille. I didn't even know my truck had those flaps when I got it. Hopefully you come up with some why around them.

What are the dimensions of the light bar as far as depth? I know there's a little room. I just don't know if a different light bar might fit.

I checked, there's literally no room. A few pieces of paper would be tight lol.

I believe the 17 GMCs have them also, ford started in 15. I don't like the bar hanging down under the bumper like that lol

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I had an alternator fail that was shorted internally in such a direct fashion in addition to the larger gauge cables that it appeared like a VERY dead battery. Granted I think the car did power up, it definitely wouldn't start.   Rodent damage to wiring?

      Towing In Loose Gravel

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Using experience to justify bad advice is lazy and typical of someone incapable of articulating why their advice is prudent.    This immediately sets off the BS alert and the advice that followed certainly qualified.   Asking an idiot for help getting out of dumb situations because he is an expert... at getting himself into dumb situations.   Unless I've been living in an alternate universe - the first thing everyone does when getting into a sticky situation is shift to a higher gear 🤨.   Of course not, the torque multiplication, mechanical advantage and finer control typically afforded by the lower gear is far better suited for this scenario.   There ARE scenarios where a higher gear MIGHT be appropriate determined more by the drivers ability to control EXCESSIVE wheel spin versus applying torque to the ground.

      I'm not sure I agree with "extreme" low speed, high torque sentiment here with regards to the prescribed use of low range. How about...whenever it's needed?   A 2.72:1 transfer case and whatever differential gears these Silverados have (3.42's, maybe?) aren't producing "extremely" low crawl speeds. Or insanely high torque multiplication. Even with the 1st gear in these newer transmissions. But it does provide mechanical advantage and potentially better control at slower speeds. And with extra weight or towing, I think it adds mechanical sympathy for the truck as well.   Plus, traction control and the other assists generally turn off when you shift into low range. Those aren't needed here, they'll work against you if you need wheel spin. In high range you'll need to figure out how to turn off the various modes those assists provide. Depending on the vehicle, those things don't all automatically turn off or turn completely off.   While I agree that a farmer might have some great practical experience, a recommendation to "always" using one gear isn't very informed advice. If the farmer had said WHY and could explain the physics behind his prescriptive "always" I'd definitely listen. The way he's described here makes it sounds like he could either be uninformed or is telling everyone what worked for him, not necessarily that there could be a more advantageous way about things.
