Sick ass truck, Vader62. Seeing your system install makes me miss the days when I used to do that. I had a lot of fun doing it. Yours is truly top notch though, awesome job!

Thanks for the compliment. I still need to finish a few things, waiting for the weather to settle later this spring and I will get them done.

I love your work. I need to go over your thread again and pick at things to do at my truck.

 

I so want to black out my headlights.

I do have a set of 16 lights for sale so if you wanted to black those out you would still have your stocks for backup.

I appreciate it but I don't like the new style headlights. The older ones IMO look better.

I still have this set of 2016 GMC Sierra SLE Headlights for sale. This set of lights has less than 1200 miles on them and are in excellent condition other than having a broken top/passenger side tab. The tab can be safety wired in place to factory location. I will supply new safety wire and instruction on how to do it. I had this set as a backup to the set I modified (blacked-out) and installed on my own truck. The same tab is broken on the set that's on my truck currently, so I know for a fact you cannot tell it has been safety wired. Shipping is usually between $60 and $90, but I will cover that. Buyer is to cover Paypal fees if applicable.

$950 shipped

Private Message me if you are interested as I do net get notifications on this post. I am sure we can work out a deal.

Hey, did you end up ever switching to the 16+ LED Brake lights? If so, pics? And did you need a wiring harness and/or resistors?

 

Thanks, truck is looking great!

I'll PM you his info. He does lots of custom work, doesn't bake the lights open either, he cuts them and seals them back up and guarantees the seal.

 

Here's a set of 16 heads he did, I'm thinking about having him do a set for me.

Those tails look pretty sharp. I already have the 16/17 SLE Blackout front, and am doing another set here shortly. I do have the only Diode dynamics C shape switchbacks. They have not released them to the market yet. I got them as part of a one-off deal last year, and was hoping they would have released them by now, but no joy on that yet.

I'm interested in knowing more about the possibility of doing an amp rack on the back wall. What's the best way to get in touch with your buddy Kyle? Thanks!

I did the electronics rack in mine, and know how to build an amp rack instead. Kyle is kind of out of the business as of now, he works on custom installs only now in the private sector. I really dont spend much time on here anymore, especially since photobucket has screwed the images all up. So, the pictures I had of Kyles rack are no longer up. Basically its a welded metal frame that bolts to the factory mounting holes that are already on the back wall. The amps are mounted in a suspended fashion in the frame.

Thanks for the info and appreciate the response. I may have sent you a private message on DIYMA also. That's what I'm looking to do is a welded frame to hold the amps. It appears to be an easy design, but unfortunately no welder (or welding experience!). I'm sure I could do a template and have a shop weld it up for me. I'm assuming he also used inserts for the screws/bolts that held the amps to the rack?

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.

      "Life is getting back to normal."    I'm driving again and all new joints are operating as expected for this stage of recovery.   My most recent joint replacement still requires a lot of attention but experience has taught me that time will quiet the remaining pain.  I joked with my surgeon that another joint replacement would take my mind off my most recent surgery and he responded by saying the next will be a hip!  There are no plans for another surgery but, unlike me, I don't think he was joking!  I certainly wouldn't refuse further replacement  if required but hope to spend time out of the "post-op"  period.  I can't stress enough that if you have been recommended for total hip, knee or shoulder replacement that you welcome the offer.  Post-op "recovery" may sound daunting and painful, however, this is far better than the insidious erosion of mobility you are currently experiencing.  Imagine what it would feel like to wake up most mornings feeling better and more mobile than you did the previous day!  Prior to my first surgery in June 2025, even getting out of bed was becoming a formidable task.  Since the day after my first surgery, I get out of bed everyday easily and unassisted.  Making the switch to feeling a little better each day rather than a little worse, is hugely motivating!
