you'll get a CEL and who knows what else I'm sure if you try to remove the shudders

 

So I'm basically SOL if I try and put a lightbar in?

I have a 17 Silverado and have so far came up with the same conclusion.... I am hoping there is someone with a 17 that has figured out a work-around.

The only way to fit the light bar behind the grill is going to be to delete and remove the active shutters. I think that it is possible, we just need someone with some skills that's willing to put in some trial and error.

 

Here's a video of a guy doing just that on a RAM pickup. He shows how to delete the shutters and trick the computer into thinking everything thing is working as normal. NO CEL!!!

 

It's probably very similar on a Silverado, again we just need someone with some skills to figure it out out. See the attached video, we got this!!

I am planning on mounting a light bar behind my grill and had several questions. First of all Will it cause any cooling issues, From what I have read it will not but I just wanted to make sure no one here had had issues. Second, I was planning on running the main positive lead directly to the battery and the all the ground leads to a body ground but I am unsure where to connect the relay switch to power, where is a good location either in the engine bay or in the cab. The light bar is a 32" Auxbeam V series

Love the stealth mount setups so much more than the external brackets

1. No cooling issues. I'm in SC and it gets hot and humid over the summers. No issues here. Guys in TX say the same thing.

2. I powered mine off the battery, but there are 2 relays between. I've connected to a 3-way switch that allows on, off, or on with high beams.

3. Grounding to the body is fine.

4. I grabbed ignition power from the fuse panel on the driver's side of the dash and added an in-line fuse holder.

You need some nicer buttstocks. Look at magpul CTR. Great quality for the price

Just finished installing my light bar, it turned out really well. I spent a lot of time trying to make the wiring very clean. The only problem I had was that when I removed the trim under the grill I had one locking tab break off on each side, the tab that broke is right next to the fender and the bolts hold it in place. I was curious if anyone else had that happen to them.

The light bar is a Auxbeam V series RGB lightbar. I can control the RGB functions with my phone but the red button allows me to change the color without my phone.

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      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. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
