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 !!

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
