Thanks bud, I forgot to buy zip tie mounts so I could put on the gutter guard I picked up to do behind the grille so hopefully I get that done some time this month.

Added a neodymium magnet to the steering column to hold the key fob still. $18 and a piece of double sided tape. The fob sticks right to it and does not bang around any more.   The magnets were

Picked up a 10 pack of heavy duty, metal body LED's for $8. Tapped the dome light for interior. And for just under $50 I picked up the wiring harness for the bed lights and tapped it with some 8" COB LED's for the bed. gallery_167032_4679_161196.jpggallery_167032_4679_104630.jpg

I’m going to need a link to those LEDs. I’m looking to do footwell lights as well.

Installed wireless charger in the console lid on my jump seat. Got the Choetech charger off amazon for $12.99 shipped. Install was very easy. Biggest concern was whether or not the charger would work through the rubber mat and the black plastic of the lid. Only way you can know the charger is there is looking in the console and seeing the usb cable connected. Might hardwire to cig lighter plug some day

Lightbar was $25 from amazon. The wiring and switches and inline fuse, did not cost more than $40.

Looks good. How difficult was it to mount in that location?

It was not bad at all. The hardest part was getting the nut on the back side of the aluminum to get the bar on due to a bolt on the truck being sort of in the way. I just had to put the bolt to the aluminum and screw the bolt on rather than push the bolt through first which is seen below. 9a048e2e5aba18f00141f481ff0c4dc6.jpg

When State budgets get tight again I think we will see cops writing tickets for those lights. Not DOT approved. Around here there are people getting silly with those lights....matter of when the cops get orders to bust em for State revenue.

This is as close as I can find to the LED's. I got them off the Geek app.

Yup, these cops know how to spot a non-DOT light at 65+MPH.  If anything, they'll write you up for not having a cover on them, except for behind the grill.

Was debating between adding the extra red top battery I have or storage.  Figured the extra storage was cheaper and easier.

I imagine magnets would be a bad idea, considering it's an inductive charger. Might mess with data storage on the phone too, not sure.

      Some Assembly is Required

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
