No problem. I didn't install the lights my self I worked it out with the dealer. They were excited because they didn't know the lights existed until I told them about them. Not something I would normally do but when you spend that much on the truck they can throw you a bone. I haven't see the instructions my self, but best I can tell the truck is already partly wired for this. I just checked under the drivers side bed and you can see the harness come down from the lights and plugs into the factory into the factory harness. They installed a new head light switch, with the option for the fog lights and the driving lights(and yes you can drive with all the lights on at the same time, looks really cool at night). The cluster has a secondary light to denote that the driving lights are on. I'm not sure if this is in all trucks or only the all terrain. I believe this is similar to how the under rail bed lights are wired. All the GM trucks of this generation have the switch on the dash for the cargo light and adding the under rail light is as easy as plugging them into the module in the truck. No programing required. As for the driving lights, I would recommend them they are very bight and work well is rain and snow. As I said earlier a ridge led light set would run between 6 and 8 hundred and still need to be wired off the battery and a switch installed in the cab. These were $1,000 and work seamless with the truck. Oh one more thing the part number for the kit is 23415424. There are two kits one for fog lights and the other with out, I guess they have a different switch. Be careful for non-all terrain owners, this kit is for a truck with fog lights.

 

I am not exactly sure how to post pictures but if someone can tell me ill post the pictures of the lights and switch.

 

let me know if you have any other questions, ill be happy to answer.

 

Thanks

Thanks for the info!!!! I did partially take the sports bar off the bed and there was wiring there but I think that goes to the 3rd brake light on the bar. I'll have to get under the bed to see if there are more wires going in or out. I cant wait to see pictures!!!!

I put the rail under the forward mounts notched it for the rear mount. Just need to add a bead of silicone to seal it up

Looks something like the "sail" on my old Avalanche or the "wings" on my '69 Chevelle, but a lot meaner. Like the photos show.....mean

I just did a BAK Revolver X2 with some minor mods to the rails around the rear sport bar mount. Came out very good.

Can you send me some pics and exactly how you did it. I just tried today but I can't roll the cover up all the way. I want to try and keep it as clean as possible.

 

Here's my email

New to the forums. I just picked up a 2016 All Terrain X a few weeks ago and I'm loving it so far. I wasn't feeling the sport bar so I asked the dealer to pull it off for me and toss it in the bed. Just as I was about to hop in and pull away I thought to myself I should probably test the cab brake light and sure enough it was dead. I wished I had seen this thread ahead of time because I was there another 3 hours before the tech figured out how to get it working again. He said he couldn't find anything in the GM resources he had. Poor guy was stuck but he wasnt going to give up. He finally figured it out and had me on my way. I have the bar sitting in my garage in hopes to sell it on craigs list or something. It is practically brand new and has all the hardware and wiring on it. Is there anyone that would be interested in picking one up? I am in the Northern Virginia area. Shoot me a PM if you might be interested.

http://rollnlock.com/ These guys have it figured out for trucks with roll or sports bar.

I am confused on that site. Doesnt say anywhere its for a bed with a sports bar. I did 2016 Sierra with the shortest bed.

It explains right here that you use the quikfoot system they invented

http://rollnlock.com/truck-bed-products/qwikfoot#filter/2016 Look around the site a little. You will find what you need.

Just looking at the pictures I dont see how that will work with the All Terrain X sports bar. The feet are totally different. Guess I'll email them to see if they will work or not. Thanks for the info!! :)

That sounds like the best solution. Let me know what you find out from them please.

Got an email response from them:

 

"The Qwikfoot is only available for oversea trucks for mounting style bars they are not available for US model trucks. They will not work for your application truck if you have any other questions let me know."

Thanks I actually went with a soft cover with a tensioner control that runs along bed rails instead of on them. It will be here Wednesday. I'll be installing it that day. They claim 30 minute set-up time on them. The one I ordered is: Truxedo 571801 Silverado/Sierra 1500 5' 8" Lo Pro Qt. The website said it wouldn't fit my truck on eBay so I did a little digging and found out that it was just eBay acting up because I ran it on another site for compatibility and it matched up to my 2016.

I bought a Revolver X2 and had it modified like a few other people. Best option out there for a tonneau cover. It is hands down the most low profile tonneau I've ever seen.

Truxedo has updated their ordering options for a "w/ Factory Sport Bar" FYI

      Replacing 2.7L on 2021 Silverado with 2023 2.7L

      OCI, not when but why?

      By KARNUT · Posted

      But Grumpy I did show several subdivisions that had homes starting in the 170K range. If you bought a Townhouse or Condo you could go cheaper. Same with a car 3000 dollars in the 70s translates to around 20K today. There are several models at that price. You actually get more for the money. In the 70s I drove a 3000$ car bought a 28K home and made 4.50 per hour. Thank goodness for overtime. Today I could buy a 170K house drive a 20K car and make 25 dollars an hour operating the same machine today. The difference the house, car, machine would be better and have AC. And I wouldn’t be taxed on overtime. And statistically your wife works too. Easing the burden. I thought we agreed to disagree. I brought receipts earlier, showing examples. I think you’re more stubborn than me. I was done with this debate.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.
