Wow I really like those. I would like to get a set in black with grey accents.

I tried to install my hid fogs but for the life of me I could not get those damn bulbs to move at all. I even tried to use a set of channel locks with the jaws covered in tape and still those little turds would not budge.

I'm pretty sure they just clip in? On my silverado they do

Decided to put some light on the situation...

 

Next up, 2" Level and new tires (but definitely keeping the 18's)

What all did they have to do to install wifi?

 

I'm also curious what it takes for them to hook up the factory navigation

I'm not sure they still have it. As far as Nav, I got my upgrade off here... I can't remember by who, do a search. Looks just like my wife's 15 Denali nav.

I got WiFi, by getting a tmobile hotspot added to my plan. Only $10 a month for 5gb plus rollover data and since tmobile doesn't count music streamed through Pandora and other Internet radio then I have a lot of data stashed. Put my tablet as my stereo and boom. I got anything I want.

Hahaha I should have looked at the hid kit and seen that. I shouldn't try and install parts after working night shifts with only 2 hours of sleep the night before. Thanks

That would have sucked if cranked too hard and snapped your housing off lol

He has some brackets that mount on the uprights behind the grille that will mount a 30" light bar. Be pretty secure considering it's behind the grille. I'm gonna do that soon and do what many guys have been doing and hook it up with a wireless remote so no drilling required

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • 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.    
    • 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.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
