That looks awesome Tech510. I’m always trying to do a Close Encounters of the Third Kind with my vehicles. My camaro had grille, trunk and footwell lights. There’s a lot you can do with a truck. On my

those are just a couple of led 'bolts' hooked up to a 12v battery (link the light lights below) - you can sorta see the battery sitting on the ground under the truck in the 'white' pic.

 

i haven't done this yet.... but it's on the list... waaaaay down the list, but on the list none the less!   :)

the tow lights were just a couple of these hooked up to a 12v battery to see if i liked the look:  led bolts - 6mm

 

i haven't done grill lights (yet), but i did use the same 6mm bolts on the back of my truck.  i put 3 red ones above the plate/below the tailgate....

Hey, I really need some help. I'm wanting to use at least 4 of cyclone lights to put in my 2014 Sierra. I'm fine with mounting them and everything I can figure that out. But I really, REALLY need help with wiring. I saw the fuse box thing and i like that but i really need some help. If there is a wiring harness or something people know of I would really like it......

Buy a pre made relay kit off of amazon. Wire power and ground then use the parking, headlight, or fog light signal to trigger the relay. Or you can use a three position switch to also manually operate them at will.

I bought an led kit from www.f150leds.com. Spendy, but a nice kit. They were really  white when off so I put some window tint on them. Now their almost invisible when off but still fairly bright when on. Wired them into drl's. They attach with 2 sided tape. The spacing is 6.5" center to center when centered in grill opening

My dad has this kit on his f150, had to replace it once already but the guy that runs f150leds is really friendly and has no problem swapping out things if you have issues. Pretty sure he’s a one man shop.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.
