Just finished upgrading my headlights to the H9 phillips mod.

Also installed aftermarket under rail LED bed lighting!

I just finished the fog light and cargo light mod. Also I removed my air dam. I snagged my air dam on a parking curb this morning. It ripped the corner loose so it had to go.

Yeah.. little part of me dies inside every time when I see those patches :(

 

Yeah. Me too, but nothing I can do at the moment since the winter is almost here.

How is the performance on the winjet headlights?

 

 

iPhone 6 '14 Silverado

They are not bad, same light output as the factory halogen.

Negatory. Since i already did the cargo/reverse light mod, i tapped into each side's reverse light. So niw the bed lights come on when cargo lights and/or reverse lights are on. These are the ones i bought:

MVI selling the video input that you can add extra camera or video player in HMI unlock thread.

Was it easy? Is there a youtube video to help? The video kicks out after 20kms or so right?

They are plug and play. you can use any universal back up camera and hook up to it. take about 20 minutes.

I have my HMI unlocked ,so the video stay on while the vehicle is in motion. the screen switch when you put in reverse.

What does the hardware look like and how does it attach? Seen someone post where they had to tab into a bunch of wires, so hoping they have a plug and play kit instead.

Did you also mount and hardwire the included switch...?

No. Since i tied into my reverse lights that i previously modded to activate with my cargo lights, the bed lights now come on anytime the cargo light switch is activated, when the vehicle is put in reverse, and when the keyless unlock is used. I just didnt feel the need to have an independent switch nor did i want to run wires to the cab and also didnt want to cut/drill a spot for a switch. I guess the only scenario where the switch would be handy, is if i installed it at the rear somewhere so i could activate from the back without my keyless remote or walking to the cab to press the cargo light switch. But i just didnt think the payoff was worth it to me Edited by dbcooper748

    • Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.
    • 10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O. 
    • Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.    
    • apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.
    • yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
