Installed the Boost Auto Parts Auto Fog/6 High mod and it works as intended. Very simple, and highly functional mod. Not sure why GM makes you push the fog light button every single time, but I no longer have to worry about that now.

 

I also snapped a better pic of my truck with the new EGR Ventshades.

The light mod, doesn't it effect the Intella beams?  I like that feature here on the back roads.

First paint correction and seal on the AT4 now that winter is over. This blue looks even better after a clay/polish/seal.

Generally I find it improves visibility because of the white light it puts out, on occasion when I am backing up to something close behind it gets a little to bright!

So if you were backing up to hook up a trailer at night it would cause issues seeing the trailer hitch?

When connected as instructed it does not interfere with them as it activates them after the BCM. The truck doesn’t know they are on.

 

Also, you don’t need both products. Or any at all if you can acquire a diode. You only need the 6-light product unless you still want to have control (be able to have them off when you want them off) over the fog lights.

I've got those all the way down my right passenger side from a carwash. How did you get that out?

This is correct. I installed the auto fog mod and the fogs come on anytime the headlights come on when set to “auto” mode - which is what I run. I didn’t want to have to worry about manually pressing the fog light button every time they came on... so this eliminates that issue.

Also, this auto fog mod also allows the high beams to come on with the fogs as well.

I do have a question though - I bought both mods and anticipate returning the 6 high mod. However you mentioned you have “control” with both installed. Could you please elaborate on this?

I’m guessing intelli beam is auto high beams? If so, I don’t have that on my truck. However, this one mod allows the fogs to automatically turn on when set to “auto” mode.

 

It also allows you to activate high beams and the fogs stay on.

I said that because I THINK the high beam/fog light mod is supposed to be wired in a way that turns the fog lights on when the high beams are on. The fog lights continue to function as they did from the factory when the high beams are not activated. This still lets you turn them on and off (without the high beam) as you please. That’s what I meant about controlling them.

The only way to control them with the auto fog mod is to install a switch in-line with the boost part.

No, it's more like when you are backing up to something real close like a wall.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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
