Ok those are stock lights. What all did you put in them? Where did you get these items? Where are you pulling power for the u bars? Are they on all the time like a daytime driving light? This is the first ddl that doesnt look tacky on a sle.

Yea it does. You can tell the dip is more white but not a big difference.

I added the flexible led switchback tubes, led tower bulbs and also put led concepts halo kit in them, then just did some painting.

Sounds very reasonable. So this converted it from single exhaust to dual? Not exactly right. Did it get rid of the flapper valve some people don't seem to like? (What that heck is the flapper for anyway? Keep the squirrels out -LOL)) Hope you get better performance HP and mileage too maybe.

The flapper is for when it drops to V4 it helps to not have the bogged down sound.

Do your oem drl's still come on then or did this bypass that feature?

yes, the OEM DRL still come on.

I'm interested in one of those pieces but slightly different. My truck isn't 4x4 and no trailer brake. I want a trim piece that just has the hole for the lights and that little wheel and the rest is solid. You think you can make something like that? I want to put switches in that space for lights etc.

it would be better if the switches going in at the same time.

Well I don't even know what type of switches I would want haha. I was thinking I would just cut whatever hole I need for the switches as long as I have a solid piece to cut through.

Where would you put the trailer brake controller and the Transfer case Knob?

    • I have finally paid off my mortgage and can now purchase a new truck. I would greatly appreciate any opinions on the purchase of a new 2026 GMC Denali 5.3L or 6.2L with the Denali reserve package. I am not interested in the 3.0L.  Or should I go buy a Ford?   Thank, John
    • One of the few things I enjoyed about my time in the midwest was taking off on weekend drives. Unlike home, where we are boxed in by mountains and water, those rules don't apply to the inland plains. Roads connect and sprawl everywhere. While Minnesota is flat, it's not completely featureless and there are fast moving rural roads with curves and slight elevation changes. I used to relish heading out in a particular direction with no set destination, no curfew, and weaving through little townships, wherever the roads would take me. Along farms, lakes, or through the deciduous trees... It was beautiful in its own way, and the seasons were so distinct there. Fall drives yielded amazing shows of color and contrast. Summer drives rewarded with the and amber evening glow of the prairie (and lots of juicy bugs).    I do a lot of that here in my home state too. But it's much less mysterious/intriguing. I've traveled most roads in the region, and every road that's fun to drive within a good radius of my house. But every drive, even on the same old roads, is still enjoyable. I know where I can lean hard into the throttle or really throw the car into a curve. There are exercise loops for when I just need to keep certain cars limber, and much longer routes to settle in and enjoy a drive and put some miles on. All the mountains and water make for some really awesome roads for spirited driving. But not all my driving is spirited, for example, that's not really enjoyable in my pickup or this Blazer (that's still here...).   Sometimes a good drive is followed by a ritualistic wash before tucking the car away...
    • 'GMAuthority' is reporting the 2027 HD's will have the L8S 6.6L gasoline V-8.  There was some talk here about the L8S awhile back.  Not sure what changes it will have now as it seems the 2027 emissions regulations have changed from what was originally proposed.  The big question will be is L8S just a stopgap for the last 2 years of the current T1 HD platform or will it carry forward to the next generation 2029 T1-2 HD's?    I assume the L8S will still be a Gen. V engine. 
    • New engines will still be using DEF. You just won't have the limp modes occurring when you run out of DEF now.
    • I am not a NOCO fan for a charger I would leave on a battery 24/7. The reason is, it doesn't really float. It waits until the battery drops to a certain voltage and then charges it back up to 14V. It's better than no charger I guess.
