Took about two/two and half weeks from the time I placed the order. Comes thru USPS

Ok. I've been waiting now over 3 weeks. Got the shipping notification on the 26th but don't think it actually shipped bc the tracking has never updated. Probably just generated it but never actually left.

Yea the delay is probably due to the Memorial Day Holiday. Had the same experience with the tracking and then all the sudden it jumped from waiting to be picked up from sender, to out for delivery

Custom hitch cover. Found the guy online who does them. Individually makes them all by hand and is open to custom orders. http://www.kempterkustoms.com

Added the LED headlights. Went with the H11 LED kit from http://www.xenondepot.com. Simple install and plug & play. Ordered the wrong Fog kit, so just waiting for them to arrive and they will all match. 6K color temp.

 

Ive read that LED or HID lights in the reflector housing are extremely bright and blinding to oncoming traffic.. How do they look on the road?

It's due to a HID/LED bulb being placed in a halogen housing. There's a lot of glare that's projected up into oncoming traffic. Ultimately, the best would be a retrofit with a projector so you have the cutoff.

Prob not a good idea. Your just asking for a ticket.

I tinted mine 50% with a strip on top of it and it's fine at night

Yeah, but thats a whole other purchase. Plus I prefer the look of the reflector housing opposed to the projectors. Idk just like the square look. Are there halogen bulbs in 5000K? I may eventually just get a light bar to help with actually lighting up the road but I want all the lights to be the same color

I just added the 2016 gmc Denali 1500 led taillights to my 2016 gmc Denali HD duramax. Wiring was a little tricky but I got it to work. If anyone's interested I'd be glad to help me out.

Doesn't your truck have projectors? Not ideal ones, but still projectors.

Honestly since I put them in two days ago, I only have about 5 to 10 minutes of night driving. But there were several cars in the on coming lane and I did not get flashed once. Small sampling, but so far so good

Vinyl overlaid my bowties a couple days ago, and got my LED light bar wired up today, after mounting it on a license plate holder mount I found on amazon. Nice to not have to drill anything. Vinyl overlay is black carbon fiber, although you have to look pretty close to see anything but black. Probably will do something else with the wire for the light bar at some point, but it's good enough for now.

    • The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.
    • So I purchased the Range unit for my 2026 and I am seeing different locations suggested for the ECM . Can anyone confirm wither under hood, left side or right side or behind the wheelwell?
    • Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that. 
    • "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
