New wheels!

 

18" method grids in titanium. +18 offset.

 

Next steps are bigger tires and to get rid of some chrome. Maybe some nfab steps?

I think the ones I put on my truck would look great with your truck. I had the same chrome running boards too and got rid of them as soon as I saw these ones. See link in my signature. They are just a thicker black nerf bar than the Nfab ones. A little more expensive, but I was very happy with them. They held up well.

You having any problems with a leaky 3rd break light?

I bought my 14 and it was full of water and the bulbs were burned out. Replaced it under warranty. I noticed the replacement was getting wet inside. I just took it off, blew it out and put a line of clear silicone around the foam to seal

It up. No issues in over a year now.

There is an Upfitter provision to tie these Aux buttons to (4) unused relays. This is specific and only works if you have the same exact options on the switch.

Like posted above its the factory outfitter/upfitter switch. I got the idea from the above linked thread. GM# 23145158 was the part number for the switch I ordered which cost 74$Cad shipped. There are other switches you can order as well that have different configs if you have more options.(hill assist, adjustable pedals, ECT) but it gets a bit more complex with the more options you have.

 

I ran my own 4wire cable from the engine bay into the cab and purchased some standard automotive relays off amazon but when I went to install my switch I found that there was already wiring in place for my truck but all the relays and fuses were missing under the hood so I just used my own cable and relays instead of trying to get all the stock parts and just removed and insulated the the factory wires for the switch.

 

As for configuration I got a bit creative and have it wired up so

Aux1- Controls my Bull Bar 20" Led Bar

Aux2- Controls roof mounted LED bars (2x 12")

Aux3- Makes it so all the LED bars come on when the high beams are switched on using the factory stalk(and they can still be overridden on when aux1+2 with the low beams)

Aux4- I didnt realy have a plan for this so I made it power my dash cam since it doesn't have a parking mode and usually turns on/off with the truck, but this allows me to keep it recording while its parked.i also wired a battery monitor so it will shut off when the battery gets low enough but leaves me enough to start the truck.. Seems to last about 2days(with just the dash cam) before the protection kicks in which is about the point the memory card starts overwriting the older vid files so it worked out good.

 

Edit. Added Schematic Diagram & pic of the relays wired up for anyone interested.

I bought some stuff today. I'll get the front and rear diff and the transfer case done. Now I just need time to do it. Lol.

I like how your Desktop got a cameo in the picture.. :D

 

Wasn't intentional, I do a lot of projects in my office and they usually end up just getting thrown on top of the printer to get a photo taken of(as its usually the only clear spot on the desk). It blends in to me, since I'm so use to seeing it everyday and forget how much it stands out until I post a picture or someone comes over and comments on it.

 

I can't figure out what this is...

 

Why does this not surprise me on a truck forum =p ? Its a liquid cooled PC in a tempered glass case(aka tower). I'm into electronics as much as I am automotives and chances are if it can be modified, I will. Heres a shot of the entire office.

And just so this post isn't completely off topic here are some pictures of the 2 light bars I installed that connect to the above posted relays. They weren't installed today but they are probably what most people are interested in seeing photos of. Running the wiring from the engine bay, under the cab, through the box, and up the sports bar was way harder and took longer than I anticipated. I'm still waiting for the front LED bull bar to be shipped.(and they wonder why no one wants to support local businesses anymore...)

I would be taking that component apart and making sure that everything was/is good. May want to even flush/clean it out, make sure all debris is removed. Any chunks amongst all those shavings?

Search on the subject much and you will find almost every transfercase drain plug looks like that the first time...mine did at 10k, still going strong at 120k. The plug will be almost clean after that initial drain.

No I don't. I made sure to put the third brake light nice and secure.

My OEM 3rd leaked. I've since replaced it with an aftermarket 3rd with a thicker gasket. No issue yet.
