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 this light bar on my 15 silverado....not really impressed with the amount of light. It's like it's all flood and there is zero focus to the light. I would definitely stay away from the niilight wiring harness...somewhere in this thread you will see some pics I posted where it caught fire on me!

Actually....to be 100% honest with ya, I bought some Xenonhids LED fog light bulbs for the same truck, THEY put out greater light than what that niilight bar does

That's exactly what I was thinking lol the other good news is it almost works for what I need it for. I was only wanting it to illuminate UNDER the snow so I didn't think I was flying warp speed thru star wars lol

That's actually what I'm looking for. The HID upgrade gives me very good front coverage. I need a little more of the shoulders on some of these back country roads.

 

EasyEMan - that looks good. Did you weld your homemade brackets to the radiator support?

These are the ones I bought. Now mind you, I have the reflector housing just like everyone else, so the light kinda goes everywhere, but they still work way better than I was expecting. Very easy install, I paid the extra money for the "cancellers" like they told me I needed. These are just capacitors for those that don't know. Well, I installed with them on and the lights did not work. I took them out of the line and everything worked great, no warnings, no flicker.

As for the light bar, mine came with brackets, I just drilled the two 45 degree arms in front of the radiator and ran 2 bolts and 2 nuts with no issue

Nope, just drilled holes and bolted on.

So to be clear you guys that dont have custom brackets, youre just drilling ahole dorecrly thru those support braces and mounting the light bar with that strictly those 2 holes?

 

 

I was thinking about getting that flat steel bar from home depot, mount that to the support brace. Then mount the light bar to steel bar. But if i can directly to those cross bars with no bouncing issues or anything i will save time n money and just go that route

I bolted straight to those Cross bars....no issues what so ever...don't waste your money on added steel, just get long bolts and you're fine

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!

      I still saw people out for runs, on their bikes/motorcylces, jeeps with the doors off driving around here the past 2 days. I guess we are just used to it here haha.   Tasted like a bonfire the last 2 days.
