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

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      By dna9656 · Posted

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
