Nothing big done today. Did a tire rotation and cleaned the back of the rims while they were off the truck.

I installed a 2nd battery today. I used a solenoid to isolate the 2 batteries. I installed a small 3 position switch to control the solenoid. It has 3 modes.

 

Mode 0 the batteries are isolated no matter what position the key is in. 
Mode 1 the batteries are isolated when the key is off. When the key is in the run position the batteries are tied together letting the 2nd battery charge. 
Mode 2 the batteries are tied together no matter what position the key is in.

 

Mode 0 is for should there be a problem with the 2nd battery or anything on that system it can be isolated from the factory electical system.
Mode 1 is how the system is run normally. All my added lights and accessories are on the 2nd battery. So if I am at camp and run this battery down I can still start the truck. The battery will recharge as I drive. 

Mode 2 is for when the factory battery is dead for some reason and I need to boost myself. So I can boost the truck without getting out of the cab. You don't want to leave the switch set to mode 2 because the solenoid would run the 2nd battery down over an extended period of time. 

 

I will make a thread with a better discription, pictures and a drawing if it will be of any use to someone. I ran this setup on my 2001 Z71 for a few years and it worked well. There I used it to run a 3000-watt inverter. Soon I will be reinstalling that in my 2017.

Took the truck in to have the hazed headlight housings replaced. One had a broken clip out of the box, so I'll end up having to go back in when another one gets in.

Had a custom tune done today night and day difference in throttle response and shifting and no more v4 mode.

Towed a 27'' camper for my sister, and got to listen to 'service trailer brakes' for about two hours. Also noticed my Illuminated Bowtie from gmpartsauthority, that was only on the truck for 9 month  is no longer working and I may need some air bags/helper springs if I continue to tow. I'm most upset with the bowtie.

I went with Phillips LEDs for my reverse, and plate lights. Had them in the third brake light till I bought the Anzo 3rd brake light. All cool white in color. From Pep Boys

I don't have a local Pep Boys near me. I have an Auto Zone, Advance and O'Reillys.
I might get from Vleds or somehwhere like that.

You can also get the Phillips bulbs on eBay or order them online from pep boys and have them shipped too. Just a thought is all
