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.

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
