New Guy from Western NY

[LifeLongWNYer]

Hi folks. Just want to say"hi" I just bought a 2015 Sierra 1500, but I am a long time GMC owner. I also have a '64 K1500, which I bought from the fire department. They bought it New, used it as a heads fire truck and sold it to me in 2009.

 

I will have questions from time to time and am looking forward to any help that I can get.

 

Take care,

As a new guy, I would like to post a question, but can't figure out how/where that is done. Am I still "too new" to have posting privileges?

I don't see them sorry. Best thing for pictures other than the site uploader, make an account on imgur and you can directly post the pictures right into a post on here.

1. Okay on the pictures. i belong to another forum, ( 6066 GMC ) and have to post pictures on a sharing site, then paste in the link I'll look that up, probably the same picture hosting site will work here.

 

2. Question on my 2015 GMC Sierra.... I need to get a +12 volt wire and a coax ( 2-way radio ) wire into my roof area. Where do the existing wires go from the lower body to the roof area, and what is the easiest path to get a couple more up there? i know that a couple of manufacturers pull in extra wires, like for a Dodge "police package" or a Ford with the "taxi package" does GM do that?

 

3. I noticed in the underhood fuse box, a couple of fuses marked "upftr" or something like that. ARE those power sources for body builders, etc., to get power for added accessories? If so, if a particular fuse is marked "upftr1" or "upftr2" and i plug a fuse into the appropriate fuse slot, WHERE to i get the power provided by that circuit/fuse? I purchased the Haynes manual on this vehicle, but it is woefully uninformative on the electrical system.

 

4. I also want to add a cigar lighter receptacle to the dash, near the existing "always on" receptacle, what is the easiest way to get power to do that?

 

 

Thanks folks, I appreciate the help,
