Really thought it was silly to not have light under the hood. Nicely done!

I do a lot at night and with the hood up my carport light is blocked. I was really happy with the amount of light and I'm sure it's way more than GM would have come up with.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Any reason why this setup couldn't work from the factory battery and not a dual setup? Is it too much power draw?

 

I only have my Kicker Amp/Sub connected to the factory battery and I have been wanting to do this mod pretty bad.

No reason at all. Be sure to fuse it. I accidentally contacted the wrong tab on the back of the switch and blew a fuse right off the bat. Didn't replace it till I finished my connections. I have a fuse box mounted on top of my second bat48543c729dfb145540d12df2d309606e.jpgtery.

Just be ware if you have a 16 the battery tray is a place holder. I had to replace it with a true GM battery tray. There is another thread on that. Also the second tray doesn't hold the same size battery as the main battery. Made that mistake and had to return it. Mounted the fuse box on top with two sided tape and a bus bar with a relay that only provides power when the truck is running (fuse tapped a RAP fuse in the cab).

Easy to do, parts cost about $15, here is my set-up, I need to clean up wires at battery better though.20161112_122922_zps4awa41vj.jpg20161112_122916_zpswkzpc5zn.jpg

You could easily add a small fuse box to the top of the main battery. Someone on the forum used the same fuse box I did and put it on the black cover of the main battery.

Well I decided that the cheap led fog lights that I got just were not cutting in so I purchased some Opt7 fluxbeam 5202 from amazon. So far I am extremely pleased with the results. I am running HID's in my stock projectors and the new fogs. Here are some pics of what they look like.

 

Before: (Headlights are before my HID Install in these pic's)

So, those Opt7 fluxbeam 5202's are HID fog lights? Plug and play?

 

What's your headlight set-up?

Fogs are led opt7 5202 fluxbeams all plug and play. My headlights are hids running on a relay to ensure they work. One of the hid headlights would not fire up without the relay from the battery.

LED reverse, cargo, and license plate lights. I noticed a huge difference with the cargo lamps. Not quite as much with the reverse ones.

Nfab Step Bars, Driver Assist Grab Handle, and McGard Tailgate Lock. Had my eye on the rear blocks but I need to take some measurements with the boat hitched up before I remove them.

The Nfab-grab handle combo is nice !!

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
