I can make this for you. Had a few minutes tonight to put a harness together and test.

PM me for details.

Did anyone else have a hard time getting replies back from wams? Basically I asked the same question room therm as I did here regarding the radio, and the Intella Haul system.

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

--- Mod’d to Brake Light ONLY

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?

      OK you say you could hang meat but what was the actual temp? One of the AC systems job is to remove humidity that we feel on our body your new system removed alot of humidity as that is were the water comes from on the ac coils and that made it feel colder. 80 degrees with high humidity will feel hot vs 80 degrees with low humidity will feel alot cooler.

      I was using recirc/max air. Especially if it really hot i start out by lowering the front windows a little with regular ac the go to recirculation after a few and rolling windows up. And it does not have the newest refrigerant. It has per the info under the hood r134. Not the new r1234yf.

      AC diagnostic on a neo-classic Camaro

      By Atlas · Posted

      tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?

      Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.
