Any further updates? Part numbers of lights and such? I am also wondering about how many lumens the light bar is...

Seen some old post on installing behind grille light bar with active shutters.  Someone posted to cut motor out and take stops off shutters and glue them to motor.  Has anyone else tried this with suc

If anyone is interested. I installed the rough country behind the grille light bar brackets in front of the active grille shutters.  Took a little modification but it can be done. Will have to modify

The RC kits are 12000 lumens for their 30” curved single row light bar.

Kinda my point...

Not sure what you mean by this, but I consider it a move in the right direction.  The last time I inquired several months ago, they said there were no plans.  Today, he said they are working on a kit specifically for active shutter vehicles but it is not available for purchase yet.  So, I'll take it!

Who did you talk to? I called today and they said there are no plans to make a kit for trucks with the active shutters.

Guy's name was Kirk.  He straight-up said they were developing a kit for our trucks but it wasn't quite ready for release yet.  Probably full of &#$*. 

 

Soooooo, sounds like I'm going to have to break out the trusty Dremel and do work!

I just scrolled up after I posted that and saw his name. I'll call tomorrow and ask for him. Maybe I'll get a different answer. I'm trying to avoid the dremel lol.

I just spoke with someone at RC. Didn't catch her name, but she did confirm that they ARE making a kit for trucks with active shutters. Like said before, there is no ETA.

Lol nope. Just think it's funny that I talked to 2 different employees there and 1 says they're not making it and the other says they are.

Plus companies will tell you they are making something just to keep you as a customer. Sometimes, they will take that idea, bring it up as their own to get credit from their boss.

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
