An oem wiring harness to access rap, battery power, crank accessory power and ground. $45 is a cheap way to insure we don't short something tapping it or catch on fire.

I have this harness providing trigger power for a relay to a viair onboard air compressor and a fass 150. I have it powering floor led lights, lights in my tool box that I tapped into the bed rail lights. It powers a hard wire USB charger to power an iPhone 6 Plus that I use for my tuner and the 12v air valves for my train horns and tank drain system.

That seems like a lot of $$$ when the parts are relatively cheap.

The parts aren't all that expensive but the time it takes to solder every joint, heat shrink or braided shield every harness and pin and to offer replacement for even abuse is the difference. Homemade improperly crimped harnesses will short under excessive load or pull out of the connector. I've written up plenty and offered documentation to anyone who wants to build their own.

 

The thing is that some people can't or don't want to do it. If you want support with wiring or prints I give that too. These aren't assembly built. I hand build, test and stand behind every one. It's not just putting them together. Anyone can crimp with a pair of plyers or use the wrong terminal for different gauge wires. I put the proper pieces together at the same price as buying them at wholesale pricing from gm ($40-$50 based on other forum members) and my wire far exceeds theirs in friction resistance and better conduction. Buying wholesale from terminal suppliers is def cheaper if you have the proper crimper, solder and skill set.

 

If you are an average joe with some projects, buying a $30 crimper and soldering iron isn't practical. If you are capable, then build your own and save. If you want to have support and warranty, I'm happy to assist. I value my time and think it's fair.

Yes - Fogs stay on when high beam is on.

looks nice. I've been meaning to look for some that would match my tungsten metallic.

 

I'd take any extra and do your steering wheel also.

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Big oil is raking in billions from the Iran war. Can it avoid Trump’s fury?   Remember I said Big Oil is 'Vertically Integrated"?   Even as they no longer own the majority of the "Pump" they still own the "Well". Crude price upward pressure does not translate into that same pressure on production. Pumping cost remain unaffected and the gap is pure profit. Even after subtraction of a minor, comparatively, lower amount from supposed, but not always, realized refining volume. Consumers hate war, Big Oil, not so much.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We live in a world where the average person expects more. People say wages and our needs are farther apart. My first new home had 3 bedrooms and one bedroom. My first car and truck had what would be considered a stripped or work vehicle. In my neighborhood back then there were more homes like that and cars too. Middle managers and second home buyers worked their way up to the fancy houses and cars. Car loans were 3 years. GM had different models of cars for different income levels. The cars were pretty much the same size if you wanted a big vehicle. The nameplate designated the opulence. Chevy, Pontiac, Buick, Oldsmobile and Cadillac.  To be fair some of the cost is government mandated. We can’t blame them for giving us what people will pay for. Careful advertising steering people towards more profitable SUVs and trucks. As I learned recently a minivan is a cheaper more efficient form of transportation. Certainly easier to live with. Somebody realized the profit margin wasn’t as big and gave it a soccer mom label. So it lost its coolness. They’re making it the masses are buying it. You hit your hand with a hammer you can’t blame the hammer.

      Electrical /Immobilizer Data- Battery Voltage (V) Test malfunction

      By Aussie2500HD · Posted

      Hi All, I’m In need of advice regarding a scan result on my 2023 Silverado HD.  The Sensor Supply voltage relay states ON But…. the following 3 tests show Malfunction. Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit HIGH voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit LOW voltage Test status- Malfunction Sensor supply voltage relay control circuit OPEN test status - Malfunction. No DTC codes are stored. No DIC Lights. Remote Key Fob has been giving a few issues, namely Vehicle will not respond to an Open/Lock command from the key fob. New batteries installed to FOB made no difference, plus on one occasion recently the vehicle unlocked using the Fob, the vehicle started normally via the push button, then a random warning came up on the DIC stating the Remote Key was not found, all this while the key was located next to the central cup holders. Does anyone have any input or advice regarding this scenario? TIA

      I agree, simplicity and reliability matter more as vehicles get more complicated. A V8 work truck option with fewer electronic features and a stronger warranty would definitely appeal to a lot of buyers who use their trucks for real work. Customizing it with trusted outfitters is often the best way to get exactly what you need
