I'm looking to install a strobe kit in my personal truck. I can have them done through my employer but don't care for the installers work. I'm looking at Whelen and Feniex brands for quality products. Any recommendations on what you have used is appreciated.

What locations do you utilize for mounting locations. I want some just for the fun of it. Whites and ambers.

Do you just 2 side tape them to the louvers in the grill or create a bracket? For the tail light, drill into the housing?

I'm going to install them in the grill, windshield, rear steps on bumper and tail lights with traffic advisor in the back window.

I've had several recommendations to go with Whelen over sho-me flashers. I ended up going with the Whelen ULF44 flasher. Seems like a good product. I was also looking for a flasher with a steady burn option so I could use the lights as work lights, backup lights, and fog lights.

Below is a video of what I got put onto my truck. Looks like you are in Chicago, call George at wicked warnings if you are not installing your self. He did great work.

One of our guys from work will end up doing mine. I bought all Whelen lights and a Federal Signal controller. Was that your truck in the video or the installers? What kind of use is that lighting being used for? All that white or Clear in the back is only going to blind approaching vehicles. Depending on the use you have to watch which colors you use as well.

I don't know if you're just using the term strobe generically but strobes for emergency lights are absurdly outdated. Look into LEDs. Much more compact, much less electrical draw and they'll run forever.

Sound Off Signal or Whelen are your best bet for quality lights.

That is my truck. They are used to enter and exit lane closures so I wanted the bright white but did not want the directional bars because I am not out there telling drivers which lane to drive in. They are all led's by feniex.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!

      Exhaust Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job.

      Exhaust Question

      By C. Hart · Posted

      I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
