Added LED light strips to the inside of the topper so that I can see in the bed when it's dark.  I already had the factory under the bed rail cargo lights, so I just tapped into those.  Wired in disconnects so that I can disconnect them if I ever need to remove the topper.  They are LED rope lights from Cabelas.  Had adhesive backing on them which worked ok to get them attached to the carpeted headliner, but once the sun hit the topper and heated it up the tape started letting go so I used hot glue every foot or so to keep them up.  It's brighter than daylight in there now!

 

Next step is tap into the dash cargo light switch circuit and add a switch for the lights inside the topper.

UPDATE:

 

GMC Sierra owners stay away from these taillights. They can only be found in a few places on the internet for a reason. The Winjet company NEVER released these in the United States. The ones you can find on the internet are from china/japan where cheap sh*t isn't regulated. I spoke with the Winjet company directly and they advised me they were never released in the U.S. because of multiple electrical issues. I ordered some before i knew this, and found out the hard way. 

 

Moral of the story, stick to the lights that have reviews and have been tested.

Texas heat unfortunately has me getting up really early or working later into the evening to mod the truck. Sorry for the crappy pics but just finished my install of the new heated steering wheel, and leather shifter

HaHa - you complained about the heat while you installed a heated steering wheel!    ;>)

You have the part number on the mirror still? Is it the '13-'15 or the '16+?

I don’t recall the part # but it was something like this. I had it installed but went back since the viewable area is smaller.

Hmm...I'm already pretty limited being 6" lower than normal. Maybe I'll think on that a bit. Thanks Phil.

So my weekend was BUSY, so I'm posting now, while I'm waiting on parts for my aircraft.

 

Friday, while I was at work, can't take my phone in with me, my wife texts me, and our message exchange went like this:

"Can you wash the truck today, for a parade tomorrow?" (saw it at lunch)

"UMMMM.........." (5 minute delay)

"NO!!!!!!"

"Thought they were using Tyler's truck/trailer?"

Of course, I got no answer until I got home, and then "it's too dark out."  Midnight, with DAYLIGHT bulbs lighting up the driveway, at 66ºF?  Ended up waiting until 6am, my son and I went to the wash facility on Edwards AFB, spent about $5.  Did an okay job for being the high pressure sprayer and "scrub/suds brush.  (Picture will be posted/added at lunch tonight)  Since we were on base, she wanted us to pick up a few things to borrow for the parade, which even furthered my late arrival to the "lineup area."  Was supposed to be in Leona Valley by 0730, but arrived at 0815.  AND TYLER'S TRUCK/TRAILER WAS THERE!!!!  :mad:

    • 87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!
    • Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

    • It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
