Hey everyone just got a new 2017 Sierra All-Terrain, and the stock lights are decent but I am use to having a light bar given I had them on my 04 Silverado. Not so worried about where to mount the light but more interested in seeing how people hooked the them up inside the truck. Any pictures would be great to help with the modification

.

 

Please don't be that asshat who uses their lightbar on the road.

How does it look on the road or where ever? Ive been looking in to a nilight one

 

Overall, I am happy with it. It didn't cost me an arm and a leg, it has with stood water from car washes and it is really bright. It is a combo light so it does a good job flooding and spotting. I can't say how it compares to others but I have no complaints about it and it comes with a 2 year warranty.

 

I'll see if I can snap some pictures later tonight on in the next few days with it on just by itself so it can give you an idea. It lights up road signs well and the ground. It is no where near the performance of your headlights but it isn't designed for that. I can tell you, looking at it directly will hurt your eyes.

Here you go. It is upside down but it is just a push button so I didn't care. I wanted it to be easy access and sort of hidden away so it didn't accidentally get bumped.

What's stopping you? I get compliments on it all the time with it being off. Just looks super clean, tucked away but its there if you need it.

This is the light bar only:

This is no light bar, only head lights and fog lights:

The wiring is all tucked away and wrapped in wire loom. I ran it through the back of the grille, to the battery, and across the back of the engine under the hood cowling for the switch to the dash.

Awesome. I have the same light bar in the basement (amazon delivered it tonight). When it's not 28° I'll install it. Bench tested it tonight and im pleased. Looks great!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/ noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact.

      Transmission jumping out of gear while driving.

      By JimCost2014 · Posted

      Probably a one and done post, but do you have a CEL on the dash? Was having issues with my transmission, fortunately only a week, and it turned out to be the transmission harness. Valve body was in good shape, so new harness with all the sensors attached, new fluid, and filter. Seems to have worked so far?

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By Atlas · Posted

      Two interesting tidbits of information which are NOT related were just released.   One, regarding the possible thrust bearing issues / engine failures with the 3.0. Demonworks just did a segment in which they believe they may have found "a" or "the" cause of thrust bearing failures: A missing thrust bearing. If the engine doesn't have all its thrust bearings from the factory, the missing bearing can cause extra play which ends up destroying a nearby thrust bearing which then sends metal through the engine.       Of other importance, Lake Speed Jr released some interest information regarding oil weight selection for the 3.0. Comparisons of:   AcDelco 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w20 Dexos D Mobil 1 ESP x2 0w30 Mobil 1 ESP x4 0w40. Mobil Delvac 5w40   Spoiler alert: The Mobils are PAO Ester -base and the ACDelco is a Group III base. Mobil shows lower wear in their tests for similar weights. Additive packages between 20-30-40 weight ESP's appear to be the same, but only 0w20 is Dexos D licensed. Wear is even more reduced with 30 and 40 weight ESP although all perform very well and resist shear and provide very similar viscosities within temperature operating ranges in the 3.0.   There are even more surprises, so just go watch it.

      Weird click noise when revving my truck?

      By JimmyB4 · Posted

      Hello Guys I'm new to the form,         I just put a 7-inch Rough Country lift on my 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the 5.3 and I also put a Borla exhaust on it. But I noticed when I'm in park or in neutral and then I rev my truck up really quick there is a bad click noise and I think it's coming from the motor somewhere. Anyways I got a video of it I will attach below I was just wondering if you guys think its rod knock or lifter tick or something like that because I know the AFM kind of made the lifters weak on these trucks.       Thanks!!!!!

      We’ll have to agree to disagree. I didn’t experience or know anyone who had a decent car after 100K miles in the 60s through the 80s that were daily commuter vehicles. Unless they were collector vehicles. Of course things cost more due to inflation. But we also make more money. The biggest money drains these days are things people think they need today versus what we require back in the day. Like cell phones and internet as examples. Another example is where you live. Cost of living varies from state to state. I would need twice the money to live in NJ vs Texas in retirement. The car you recently purchased was less than my first car with inflation at 3000$ in 1973. I didn’t have air, electric windows, cruise etc. Purchasing power is equivalent, you just have to do the research.
