Is there any way to get them to come on automatically without activating them with the parking lights? 


You could try wiring them to the headlights and be our test pilot! Haha

Do you usually run around with the parking lights (orange lights, just to be sure) on and not want the fogs on?

Just realized I forgot to get bed pocket covers before installing my retrax one Mx... ?

No I never run with the parking lights on. Sorry if this sounds dumb but I thought the parking lights were jus the DRLs + taillights. I would only run parking lights if I’m sitting somewhere parked in the low light conditions. I would rarely use just parking lights but would prefer to not have them on with fogs for when I do use them.

Yeah no problem, that’s why I put that. For your situation you could wire up a switch in-line with the device I linked. This way you could basically “turn off” the mod when you don’t want the fogs on while your parking like are one. All it would take is some wire and a switch.

They specifically state to not use the headlight wire for this mod though I don’t know why.


I never checked the low beams but the high beams are negatively switched, meaning 0v=on and 12v=off. I’d bet the low beams are the same which would be a good reason not to connect the fog light relay wire to the headlamp relay.

I see. Maybe with a relay and connecting the headlight wire to the ground pin would work.

Washed it in the rain that would let up and start let up and start. Pulled in the dry off

Swapped out the black side mirror caps for paint matched ones. Easy 5 minute install with a trim tool. No broken tabs.

Any tips?  And where did you get them?

Got them from a local dealership. First, make sure to use painters tape to mask off the areas under the cap. This will avoid any scratches to the mirror. Next, I found that there was more space closest to the window to get the pry tool under the cap. From there, it was a simple pop, then work the cap off from the window side and out towards the street. Once you create enough space, you can get your fingers under and pull back (towards the hood). 

 

Its scary at fist because it sounds like you broke every tab off when it pops off, but for some reason, its just really loud! Much easier than disassembling the whole unit as I've seen on some YouTube videos...I literally had half a granola bar hanging out of my mouth when I did this ?

Finally got my S&B in from backorder.  Install was painless. Very good product. The 6.2 really sounds like a big V8.  It paired nicely with the series 10 flow master.  That’s about it for performance mods until we get some kind of chip for the damn thing.

Wasn’t feeling the brown faux wood grain in my RST, so picked up some vinyl, like the way it came out.

That looks great! Huge improvement.

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
