And this little switch is how I turn it on and off with the fob no need to cut any holes in my truck.

Better late than never, I had the grill off again, here's some pics:

I made some aluminum brackets to attach to the angled supports behind the grill. Clearly I need to get some stainless screws haha.

How can I get some of these brackets?

What size light bar is the biggest to fit behind grill? I got a 2015 Silverado its same as 2014

Depends do you mind cutting? I fit a 40" Rigid Industries E series. If you want easy install stick with a 30"

 

Hope no one minds I only saved this pic on my instagram:

Has anyone actually cut out the honeycomb chrome grill to have the lightbar not be recessed behind it where you lose a lot of the light? I'm toying with this idea.

Where did you all get the wires through the firewall? I was hoping to only run the two wires to the bar and wire the power and ground in the cab. There has to be a constant power in one of the fuse boxes that is not being used at the moment. Anyone have any ideas??

On the diver side engine bay buy the firewall, there is a rubber cover. I ran then through there and then after that you will hit another rubber gasket u have to go threw. It was a pain in my ass.

You only need one wire. The ground can be made to the chassis. I'd recommend running a relay, rather than a directly powered circuit. That way you can run a small wire gauge and switch to control the relay and the larger power wire would be from the battery to relay, and relay to light. Fuse the power wire as near as practical to the battery. A relay circuit will have less probability of wire overheat damage to your truck.

I'm dreading having to remove the grill. Not having a garage to work in blows. Trucks to big for the door height and I have other toys stored so no room. Driveway mod...lol

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Atlas · Posted

      On the subject of OLM, Gm's OLM tool may be more "informed" than others brands. I recall OLM's in mid-2000's Chrysler products literally counting down a set number of miles. That's all the OLM appeared to be.    I would actually expect GM to be able to explain the parameters that their OLM takes into account from a high level. No, I would not expect them to disclose their software coding or data analysis around their parameters.   So we're talking about two different topics, so to continue the subject on the other one, I'd be curious to know how much "standard particulate matter" in fresh oil is able to be filtered at first start by a fresh oil filter. How much particulate matter is enough to "matter"?   I.e. how much of a "lever" do we think this equates to (variability in particulate content, in fresh oils, between different makes/brands, some which filter less, and some that filter more).   We can say that more particles = more wear = shorter engine life as a logical statement and use that data with a little marketing to scare people into selecting a more refined/filtered oil. Using a similie, is this like deciding to forego two alcoholic drinks in a lifetime because we're worried about the potential impact on lifespan? Are there numbers which translate the ISO test results into a quantifiable increase in wear for a given engine/use case?

      I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually recalibrate the speedometer it just changes the wheel speed sensor inputs to the computer. The truck still thinks it has stock tires.

      I apologize, I missed this post, at risk of going off CURRENT TOPIC.   I'm not saying it is BS, I'm questioning how much information is being held back. GM is NOT going to spell out exactly every parameter in the algorithm. Liability, intellectual property, etc.    I'm not naive enough to believe that it is as simple as revolutions, coolant temperature, miles, time; are you?    I don't do irrational either, and boiling the OLM down to four simple values that I could code in an afternoon (I'm not a coder) is irrational - unless it suits your agenda to ignore it.

      Chris 21 I appreciate your constructive response. !!  😉😉😉   The 6.6 is gas.  Correct me if I’m wrong but by recalibrating the speedo you’re correcting the shift points of the transmission on these trucks.?.

      That is a huge misconception.     Bigger does not always equal safer.  Modifying does not make it safer either, with exceptions.   Think of this.  Your truck in stock form is capable of emergency maneuvers, proper stopping distances, its handling is designed around the factory wheel/tire packages, etc.   37s and a lift?  Now you've affected your braking distances, handling and ride control.  You've raised your center of gravity higher.  Your front visibility is now obstructed more than stock, same for your rear.  Does it look cooler?  Yes.  Does it now work as good as it did from factory on road?  NO.       As for my mention of exceptions?  Say you had a sedan or crossover.  They typically come with all season tires.  If you swap out for a performance all season or a summer tire, you improve your car by lowering its stopping distance (better braking because of traction) and improve the handling (regular and emergency) of the vehicle.  That is an actually improving modification.  My old 2019 LD 1500, I ran UHP all season tires on 20in wheels in a factory offered size.  It improved all aspects of how it drove over the Duratracs it came with from the factory in the stock 18" tire.
