I'm not a lawyer, but, it depends on where you are, and if they want to enforce it. Just so you know, this is no longer a secondary offence. Meaning, for a while now, they can pull you over for tint, points and fines will closely follow, lol...

Finished up an FXR 3.0 Retrofit with Diode Dynamics Switchback LED's.

 

The install is a true pain in the neck, but the results are fantastic!

Do a search on it.. there is a thread in here somewhere on it.. just cant find it now... but you pull the driver side fuse panel lid off (between door and dash) then pop off the headlight, 4x4 bezel... unplug the 3 plugs... then you can take the headlight switch apart and there is a small spring inside that you remove..

 

the spring is what keeps the dial from staying in the OFF position and springs it back to auto... by removing the spring, you are now able to keep the dial in the OFF position, killing the DRLs

Thanks for replying, i'll do a search.

Then if i do so, i can't run with the parking light only.

Am I correct ?

Yes... you can still run parking light only... after removing the spring... your switch now has 4 positions that you can lock it in

 

OFF (which even from there you can turn on fogs and parking lights)

AUTO

PARKING LIGHTS ON (can run parking lights only or parking/fog)

HEADLIGHTS ON

I switched the headlight pin on my truck that has Canadian DRL that cannot be turned off. Now in daylight, the parking lamp comes on when I start the vehicle.

I have the thinkware f770. What problems are you having? Maybe I can help. Maybe I cannot.

Truck started leaking couple weeks back. Finally brought it into my body shop place. Apparently the glue on the back glass came unglued and formed a nice lil channel for water to get into the cab.

Body shop had replaced the back glass so they're fixing it for me and sending it to get the headliner cleaned

 

Also installed the pro clip phone holder [emoji16]

    • I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality. 
    • We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.
    • I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
