Alright, here it is, everything I've done today. Pretty busy but well worth it. Got it cleaned this morning at the local car wash (did a decent job).

 

Got back home and started off by replacing the front pads and rotors with Power Stop brakes and rotors severe duty truck and tow model

Moved on to the rear assist springs, easy install. Also hit the u bolts with the impact to make sure they were tight

Went ahead and covered the front and rear bowties with black vinyl, need to redo the rear bc I messed up cutting it so a little gold is showing

And last but not least I finally installed my bumper step LED's! This is my favorite of all the mods I've done so far, it just looks cool lol

I think the step light in red would even better. Double as a running light.

I like white bc it ties in with the white LED cargo lights in the bed

these look very cool, and I love the step footwell oznium lights - how did you wire them in? Did you splice them into the license plate light wires?

No bc they would not be a legal running light. They are wired into the cargo LED'S in the bed so when you hit the button on the dash they come on with them

See if you can pull a part number off a front and rear caliper. Im curious how similar they are to the 800 and 900 trucks

I know they are different because I've tried looking for stainless braided lines for it this weekend and no one makes them yet. And they also have different part numbers from the gmt900 trucks so I wouldn't want to buy them and risk the chance of them not fitting

I'll look for them when I do my next tire rotation

I am curious for when gm drops the brembo package for them

I guess you can always hook them in with the reverse lights so they come on when the truck is in reverse or when you hit the unlock button on the key fob, but then you can only activate it that way you can not keep them on like you can if they are wired in with the cargo lights in the bed

yeah, that's true - I'd like to be able to keep them on for an extended period of time like you did or it kind of defeats the purpose - I wonder if you put red lights in there and wired them to the taillights if that would be legal to run all the time at night?

 

put in the red for running lights, put in the white for cargo and wire them to the different harnesses...?

    • I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.
    • I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments
    • Looks like the entire state is burning. 😬
    • Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
