Really thought it was silly to not have light under the hood. Nicely done!

I do a lot at night and with the hood up my carport light is blocked. I was really happy with the amount of light and I'm sure it's way more than GM would have come up with.

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Any reason why this setup couldn't work from the factory battery and not a dual setup? Is it too much power draw?

 

I only have my Kicker Amp/Sub connected to the factory battery and I have been wanting to do this mod pretty bad.

No reason at all. Be sure to fuse it. I accidentally contacted the wrong tab on the back of the switch and blew a fuse right off the bat. Didn't replace it till I finished my connections. I have a fuse box mounted on top of my second bat48543c729dfb145540d12df2d309606e.jpgtery.

Just be ware if you have a 16 the battery tray is a place holder. I had to replace it with a true GM battery tray. There is another thread on that. Also the second tray doesn't hold the same size battery as the main battery. Made that mistake and had to return it. Mounted the fuse box on top with two sided tape and a bus bar with a relay that only provides power when the truck is running (fuse tapped a RAP fuse in the cab).

Easy to do, parts cost about $15, here is my set-up, I need to clean up wires at battery better though.20161112_122922_zps4awa41vj.jpg20161112_122916_zpswkzpc5zn.jpg

You could easily add a small fuse box to the top of the main battery. Someone on the forum used the same fuse box I did and put it on the black cover of the main battery.

Well I decided that the cheap led fog lights that I got just were not cutting in so I purchased some Opt7 fluxbeam 5202 from amazon. So far I am extremely pleased with the results. I am running HID's in my stock projectors and the new fogs. Here are some pics of what they look like.

 

Before: (Headlights are before my HID Install in these pic's)

So, those Opt7 fluxbeam 5202's are HID fog lights? Plug and play?

 

What's your headlight set-up?

Fogs are led opt7 5202 fluxbeams all plug and play. My headlights are hids running on a relay to ensure they work. One of the hid headlights would not fire up without the relay from the battery.

LED reverse, cargo, and license plate lights. I noticed a huge difference with the cargo lamps. Not quite as much with the reverse ones.

Nfab Step Bars, Driver Assist Grab Handle, and McGard Tailgate Lock. Had my eye on the rear blocks but I need to take some measurements with the boat hitched up before I remove them.

The Nfab-grab handle combo is nice !!

      And to top it off finally.......................these small GM LS engines are designed to SPIN!!!!!  Why choke them down to just off idle for cruising.  Why/how the "bean counters" have influenced the "engineering department" at GM is beyond me.   They took a solid platform of an engine and turned into a joke in OEM form!!!

      Atlas,   Then following your logic we can't believe any story that the MSM produces? I mean it's documented they heavily donate to Democrat candidates. Vote Democrat in high percentages. Many MSM talents are married to Democrat politicians, Gov. employees. That goes for on-air and off, personalities and reporters. So they would all be biased and nothing they produce is to be believed in your mind?   Again the article simply was about ways AI can be used for pricing products. Nothing discounted current situations as a factor.    Again keep looking through your left/right lenses. I don't live my life that way.   And as a heads up this thread will be cleaned up again as much of this is off topic and is receiving

      So you're saying toss the baby out with the bathwater? @txab posted article was her take on how AI can be used to manipulate pricing as it already does and has been rebuked by the judiciasry in housing. How AI can be and is used to maximize refinery or even Amazon operations all of which are true but because she is who she is; that makes what she says about what is true, false? Is that something akin to Pre-justice aka prejudice?    Look, I'm first in line to approach all information with caution just because we live in a world where people like to lie about someone or something with such a straight face and in such volume that it makes digging to the truth wearisome. Meaning I understand the skepticisms but if I were to toss out everything a person is for a view they hold then my pool of people to draw wisdom from would be non-existent and I'd be forced to reinvent the wheel daily. Not practical.    "Be innocent as a dove but as cautious as a serpent."    Test each word. Every good lie is part truth or no one would believe it. Find the truth in it and reject what isn't.    On this one, AI is being used to do what has been done by hand for hundreds of years already but at such speed, the point of a computer, that it is more easily monetized. This one wasn't that hard a lift.    I wrote a few formulas in a Lotus 123 program decades ago, a series of linked Macros actually, that allowed a daily inventory to be turned into a running P&L and production plan. Something that took three departments a week to assemble now took the time it takes to input the 'daily changes' in inventory. Later that was ungraded to the more powerful Excel program an and integrated with bar code scanning, inventory to supply was done once per shift. It had a huge impact on production scheduling, Seamless interruption flexibility, inventory error reduction, raw materials cost effective utilization and scrap reduction. Huge improvement in the bottom line. I spent months on that and AI could have done it in minutes. So yes, it not only can be used, they would be foolish to not try. The legality, ethics and morality are not the domain of AI. Humans need to keep a reign on it.
