I didn't splice anything. I just stripped the tip of a 16 ga wire and pushed it in to the little square slot right alongside the grey wire, and then zip tied it secure

Ok thanks. I'll look into that instead. I am surprised there is not a fuse to just tap into.

So I took a look at the lights around the visor and it looks to be an actual led bar and not some little bulb. I was hoping to make it brighter. Has anyone tried to upgrade those or replace them? Or that is not an option at all.

Where did you run the wires for the passenger side steps? Love the look! Just wondering about wire and light longevity? Thanks for the help

I ran them to the cab under the carpet in the passengers feet there's a grommet, I made a super small hole and passed the wires to the drivers side under the carpet, connected to the dome light at the A pillar, thicker grey wire. The interior lights are still going great after 3 years, the outside I had to replace a few times now as I mess them up with my feet when I hang off the door or putting in my kid and I have to balance myself so I tuck my feet under there and they start to malfunction

I understand and will follow the steps. I do have a question?? Is there a way to connect and still have them turn on when unlocking the truck or when opening the doors while the dome light switch is activated. I like not having my entire cab light up but would like just the steps light up. ( Is my question making sense to anyone )

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
