Well, after Sunday evening, looks likes I may have to start my <$50 mods all over again.

We’re okay.  I have a broken foot, wife and kids have seatbelt bruises, wife sprained a couple knuckles, and son has a bruised rib or two from the left rear door (during the spin).  I was pinned at both feet, individually.  Left foot was pinned between the E brake and some floorboard, and my right foot was pinned between some floorboard and the center console.  Wife and kids (truely) walked away,, and I “walked away” on a stretcher.  

 

Now to see what insurance says.

My '15 Mod list was as follows:

- AM/FM Antenna DELETE

- ALL forward-facing white lights ON with HIGHs

- ALL rear-facing white lights ON with Reverse

- Puddle Lights ON with interior lights

--- Key removed from ignition

--- Truck UNLOCKED

--- Interior Lights set to ON

--- Any door opened

- Phone Holder - on dash, left of steering wheel

- Installed CB Radio & Scanner

--- Center Console

--- CB Antenna mounted on right forward stakehole

- 2”x12” Cargo Management Divider in bed

- Tow Hitch Tail/Brake Light

My '18 Mod list is (off to a slow start, but is) as follows:

- AM/FM Antenna DELETE

- ALL forward-facing white lights ON with HIGHs

- ALL rear-facing white lights ON with Reverse

 

Was about to do the Puddle lights ON with Doors open mod, but they already do that on their own.

- Puddle Lights ON with interior lights (This is the MOD, the rest is how it's triggered.)

--- Key removed from ignition

--- Truck UNLOCKED

--- Interior Lights set to ON

--- Any door opened

 

On my '15, if I would remove the key, the interior lights and puddle lights (with this mod) would come on.  Unlock the truck, interior/puddle lights come on.  Turn the interior lights ON, puddle lights come on too.  Open any door, interior/puddle lights come on.

Bought a new Tow Hitch Tail/Brake Light ($12), since my last one was busted up in the impound yard on my '15, mod'd it to only Brake Light, both tail & brake light elements light up when brake pedal is pressed.

Installed a Bully CR-007A Tail/Brake Light Hitch Cover, after I modified it to only be a Brake Light, like I had done with my '15.  Unfortunately, I had to add a 12" 4-wire extension to reach the 4-pin socket.  This little modification could have been as easy as just cutting the brown wire, but I wanted both elements in the bulb to light up when the brakes are applied.  Took a little bit of work, but I was able to get it done.  I'm going to rewrite the instructions and all in my photo album, soon.

Was it pretty secured in the lower position before you put in back in the CD slot? I have a tablet mounted below with a home made mount, and this looks like a better solution for me. I'd need it to hold a 7 inch tablet.

Did some budget rock lights.  Hooked it up to my factory upfitter switch I installed for the lightbars.

 

-9 $ worth of waterproof LEDs

-4 $ Waterproof Sleeves 

-3 $ Tube of silicone

-2 $ Stainless steel metal Ties.

-20 $ 18G wire

- 9 $ Waterproof connectors (so I can remove the wheel liners)

-7 $ Wire loom

 

Made the harnesses and ran them to the back but Holding off mounting the LEDs untill I order some rear liners since mine Didn't come with them from factory and I don't want to drill into the metal to mount them.

 

Pictures make them look much more blue than they actually are.

Are those the factory wheel liners? They look the same felt material that the fronts are made of.  I've been trying to get some people to post pics of them and the aftermarkets to compare how far they come down.  I was hoping they would drop down another few inches to cover up the frame.  Any chance you take a picture look up at the where the liner and box meet? Any chance of hiding a LED strip there without it showing the actual strips?

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.
