I'm new to this fourm and I have 1 question. Has anyone attempted to add a light bar infront of the grill on a 14+?

Here is my Rigid Industries Light mounted on a N-Fab light bar bracket. If you are on Instagram check me out @tstehle07 for more pictures.

I like the look of your set up Jordan, I think I saw a post with your truck and details on the steps you took to get your light behind the grill. Please share the link to the details. Thanks. I'm looking forward to adding lights to my 2015.

Can you get a few pictures close up of it and how it mounts to the hooks? And what size light bar did you fit to that because the site says only up to a 9" bar...

tstehle - good looking truck . what size is the led bar ?

Thanks so much. I did some small customization to fit a 40" Rigid light bar. Utilized a Rigid Industries cradle mount on top of the N-Fab light bracket.

Sorry don't have access to photos for you but can answer that the N-Fab bracket mounts to the inside frame rails and the tow hook bolts hold it in place.

Probably wouldn't be to hard then to fit a 30" one on the n fab mount as long as you can line it up with the holes?

N-Fab did come out with a newer version of my light bar bracket called there mulit mount instead of tabs for mounting lights they use channels that give you more mounting options.

It was asked earlier for a closer up picture. I had to go back to some older photos, since changing and painting my plastic bumper inserts it gets hard to see the mount in photos.

Do you have any advise on how to install this easier? I have a very similar bar to yours from NFab and its proving to a massive pain to install because of the supports behind the front bumper. I'm having a very difficult time getting the bolts to go back through the holes

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
