Shot these yesterday. They are also posted in my build thread. Posted my lighting mods a couple days ago at night and these are the followup daytime videos. I think I covered everything. Comment if you have questions.

 

Mod Video 1

 

 

 

Nice dual battery setup, very clean. This is something I've been meaning to do. Have any documentation of your install or a source for cables? BSS pieces can easily be had off Amazon.

I picked up the rest of the pieces to finish de-chroming the sides of my truck. Mirrors and window trim are done. Paintable door handles are going to my painter tomorrow. I want to paint the tailgate handle too.

You should take the mirror caps and have them painted also.

I actually prefer the all-black mirrors over half painted mirrors. The caps are textured just like the lower half.

Installed a wireless charger in my front center seat console. Works great too! f426e035768a7b0fcdc07af361502155.jpg7970c5154bc58c33e146251b2edd96bc.jpg

Could you elaborate more on this setup, does it plug into the USB port in the compartment below for power?

Yes it does, I used one of the ports in the console

Maybe consider gloss black for the caps?? Like wrapping or painting them

I just documented most of it in my build thread for you. If you have any other questions let me know. It's not cheap. I probably have 600-700 in the basic setup not counting the fuse box, circuit breaker, and relay. The battery, ACR, and cables are the most expensive items. I'll probably kick myself for asking this but "BSS pieces"?

"Good stuff is not cheap, cheap stuff is not good" I asked for further info because I know a quality install when I see one.

 

 

"BSS" = Blue Sea Systems. I'm also a boater and very familiar with their product line. Rea. quality stuff. Thanks again.

All my Blue Sea stuff came from Amazon. As a matter of fact besides the battery and the cables it all came from Amazon.

Highly recommend knukonceptz.com for your cable needs. Their kolossus-fleks-kable in particular, super flexible and oxygen free copper w/ good load rating.

Changed the gear oil in both front and rear diffs. The front was a little white and murky but the rear was just a little dark and no shavings on the rear magnet. The front had some paste but no shavings. I ended up using Amsoil, bought it locally from a NAPA Auto parts. Will do the transfer case in the next week or so. I've got 27,500 miles but pull a little 5k travel trailer so I was curious as to what the diffs looked like.

Swapped out my 2015 headlights for the oem 2016 LEDs. Love the new look. ce983fff90c514af1b25b4462ece7b8c.png5c236c2b397ffd5f0551859201ef6abc.png

What did that run you? Are they just plug in play?

I found a gently set used on eBay. Prices run from around 300-600ish a side from what I've seen in the last couple weeks of searching used; with the lower end ones being scratched/missing tabs/etc. There's a guy on here selling a new set in the marketplace.

 

I bought a wiring harness pre made from gen5diy, You can also make your own if you wanted for cheaper. But you will have to do one of the two for them to work.

Search for This thread, it has info on the swap and making your own harness: 2016 SLT lights in 14/15 SLT/All Terrain almost done

 

It's plug n play with the harness I bought. You add a fuse, run the harness from fuse box to driver side light and plug it in, run the harness under the upper plastic cover and plug into passenger side. Biggest pain is removing the upper valance and the air box.

    • The engine was done as part of the 6.2 recall?   You'd have to see if your VIN also has the 6.2 engine special coverage on it.  Coverage number is N252494003.  If you have this, your engine is covered under this and NOT the GM replacement part engine warranty which is 3yr/100k from the date of install.  The 3yr/100k mi warranty is in effect for non warranty purchases.     This is not any different if it was replaced under warranty without a recall or special coverage.  So if you had a 5.3 and it popped at 3 years in at 50,000mi during the 5yr/60k powertrain, the replacement engine would not get the 3yr/100k, and instead gets the remainder of the 5yr/60k as coverage.     So N252494003 gives 10 years or 150,000mi of coverage, which ever comes first, starting at the vehicle in service date.  So if your in service date is 01/01/2022, N252494003 gives you special coverage of the engine until 01/01/2032 or 150,000mi, whichever comes first.  So if your start date was 01/01/2022, you'd have left 5 years and 4 months (lets round to august 1st), or 62,000mi left of coverage.   So you need to know your in service date to know how much coverage is left.  
    • Okiee dokie there bud, way to take things to the extreme.   I guess you missed the whole point and take things way to serious. I installed different EV6 style injectors that just so happen to be larger in my car running the same LQ4 engine and with a better spray pattern than the stock style injectors and I noticed no difference in the idle quality. Kinda was my round about way of saying that even if you put the same size but better style injectors in your truck, you will likely see the same thing.    I'm sure you're great to have conversations with in person if that's how you act through a keyboard. One little things sets you off and now I guess my dick is all up in your face.
    • I can't believe that could possibly be the case. It should be 36mo/100k miles from installation. Then again, it also seems like since a dealership installed it, it'd all be in the system and you wouldn't need to worry about registering, either. Shows you what I know. 😄 Hope this one outlives the warranty!
    • I haven't seen inventory recovery from COVID.    In the few random times I 'build my own' truck or SUV, no one has the exact one I want.   GM has been working to lower incentives too for a long time.    A $500 incentive isn't getting me off the couch to go truck shopping.
