I went the 10 22 route and also used just a wire to jump 26 brown and 26 pink to have the cargo lights and reverse lights on at same time.

Hmmm. 26-26... I might have to do that one too.

It helps a lot at night when you unlock the truck. Brightens up the area more.

Any more info on this?

It was fairly easy to do. The underside of the console lid just pops off, gently pull from a corner and slide a trim tool around prying it up and it pops right off. The top piece where the wireless charger is is held on by four screws, take those out and it pulls out from the rear. Lift up from the rear and slide forward, careful though, there's 2 hooks on either side of the release handle, I broke one of mine. Once you have it, just cut a hole where you want the wireless charger to sit, run the cable down and plug it in to one of the USB ports in the console. Then just screw and snap the parts back together. Really simple, whole thing took me about an hour, if that long.

Did the JDM A Star LED license plate, reverse, and cab light bulbs this weekend. The bulbs themselves were a good price, are BRIGHT, and look great! The License plate and reverse lights were super simple to install- The cab lights were a totally different story. I didn't have pliers with me, it took nearly 30 minutes and a lot of swearing and bruised fingertips to remove the cab light incandescent bulbs. For whatever reason, the "twist off" motion was insanely hard to do.

I relocated my stock antenna this morning. Didn't lose any stations and to top it off it was FREE.

I also took some left over floating floor padding and used it to line my tool box. Yet another FREE mod.

Ha ha I feel your pain! I went through the same thing with the cargo light, it wasn't twisting and I was afraid of breaking it but I got it done! I did the JDM ASTAR as well for reverse, license plate, and cargo. I want to do the break lights and turn signals too.

Here's my video that I posted of the JDM lights on my truck

10 and 22 are correct.

This is what it is very important to know what slots you are going into, color wire scheme, and schematic to verify. It can get tricky looking at a schematic and you forget that sometimes you could be looking at a mirror image or the mating connector.

Here is a better picture showing it 09061bf82bc30d7e371d370273e8bcd9.jpg

Radio antenna

 

Below: You can do this with pretty much any late model and classic GM truck. On some, the Tahoe/Yukon has a cover with no hole so no grommet required.

White Carbon Fiber "GMC" logo on tailgate.

I don't know how you guys get these overlays to look so good. Pretty sure if I tried to put that on it'd look like a 4 year old did it.

    • I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
