I wasn't trying to bicker either - I was trying to help. SuperSierra thought it wouldn't work on adjustable pedals but it does help a little so I didn't want to see somebody with adjustable pedals skip the mod when it doesn't take any money or time to try it out. Also when I said no special writeup needed I didn't mean his video was worthless, just the opposite, I meant no special writeup was needed for the adjustable pedals. Just follow the instructions he had already posted in that video for the non-adjustable pedals.

 

I got the info to do it to my adjustable pedals from others on these forums so I agree that we all come here to get help. No harm meant to anyone. I can handle the criticism I just don't like being called names by others when I was just adding my and others experience and was civilized about it (if you read my posts I never called anybody names in fact I was the one who got called names by others).

 

I agree that we should get this thread back on track. I hope to keep getting (and giving) good advice from these forums. Hatchet buried :cheers:

Hey guys, new and just wanted to share a couple under $50 mods I did myself quick and easy. First is the light strips behind the grille ($45). For the interior I have different light strips to light the floor ($25) and did the ceiling lights as well ($6).

I wasn't sure if I wanted to white out led stripping in the cab and behind the grill but after seeing that red I think my mind is changed!!! Do you have any links or brands?

SuperSierra-thanks

CodeyD13- the grill lights are OPT7 and they have 24 colors so you can do white and red and more

The floor lights are:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000UVCK9S/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

 

The ceiling lights were the trickiest part. I could not find actual bulb replacements that fit, some online said they did but they were wrong. I used filters that are for photography and just put them in front of the bulb. They actually make it red and let through a ton of light I can still see everything fine. It says they are no longer in stock but I attached the link figuring you could find something similar if you wanted. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004A9PMGE/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1

the gels are what i also used to colour my cabin lights... but i used blue

 

they work great and i still get a lot of light in the cab at night... it's not as bright as white (of course), but i can still see lots. (and if i'm having an issue seeing i've got a little flashlight in the center console)

Man I love RGB LED's! Are the ceiling lights RGB as well?

"Rigged for Red!!!" I love it. That is on my list of mods to do.

Alexantics- sadly no, that would be the coolest thing in the world if they were. I did the ceiling lights with some colored film slipped between the bulb and light fixture. I think bc-Chris did the same.

 

RavenKeeper-it was super easy and cheap to do and it is what I get the most compliments about so you should definitely

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL

      OBD not ready?

      By davester · Posted

      Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.

      from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
