That’s the custom VPM programming.

I checked out the custom programing and didn't see it mention anything about cameras.  I understand custom means just that but for those that are looking for a specific program it isn't showing on the site.

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

installed the Amp Research manual override switch for the Power Steps. I think it came out pretty good.  Called for a 3/4" drill bit and biggest I have is 1/2" so I made it work lol.

That looks nice. I have a couple of questions. Where did find that switch and what is the p/n?  Were you able to get the switch installed without removing the kick panel?

Is there really enough reason to need an override switch?  Maybe I'm ignorant, but the only time I ever need mine to stay down is when I'm washing the truck.  What is your reason for needing the switch?  Just curious.

The part number is AMP-79106-01A, I ordered from truckandgear.com because that is where I bought my steps.  Ran about $30 + $10 shipping (ordered separately from steps).  Probably can find it a few bucks cheaper.  Comes with the switch, wiring, and instructions.  I routed my wires through the rubber grommet under the drivers side carpet.  Had to remove the kick panel to pull back the carpet and run through the channel under the door will cover.  The kick panel and door sill cover is actually just one piece that easily pops out.  Picture for reference.

Can control the steps to manually keep them up or down.  For example if I go offroading and don't want them to come down when I open the door.  Or a more practical example when I go to the grocery store I can set them to stay down and if some little car tries to hit my door with their door hopefully they would hit the step first.  This can all be done manually but the switch just makes it a little easier.  Also I've heard if you force the steps to stay down and then step on top of them, it's bad for the step motor because your weight is basically resting on the gear for the motor.  Not sure if it's true but for $40, I figured it was worth the added control.  I think the switches were initially designed for jeeps where they regularly take their doors off.  Makes more sense for that application but figured why not.

All great reasons.  Thanks.

Follow up to my other reply.  I think you may have been asking about the knee bolster panel, under the steering wheel.  That would make a little more sense since it is a PITA to remove.  I did not remove that panel.  I installed the switch with the panel attached.  Enough clearance to easily run the wire and put the locking nut behind the switch.  Have a look before drilling because if you go too far towards the parking switch a piece of plastic or something would obstruct the locking nut a bit.

Looks good! Nice job on the wheels. I saw some similar last week, and thought they would look good with the white/chrome combo.

Got a few things done

AMP Power Steps
4" Rough Country lift with Vertex adjustable coilovers (AT4 has 2" so 6" total)
35x12.5r20 Firestone Destination M/T2
20x9.5 -18 Black Rhino Axle Gloss White

I bought some Bushwacker DRT flares and was going to put them on but the wheels don't have enough poke or big enough so I don't think I'll be adding them...b90667510d88d5ef1f57e8fc4f691a31.jpgc48702bbd67bfc3a9bdea31eb84922e6.jpgbcbfa6878ec7c08e80a038f45c1ab6ec.jpg71448a7a0ba0f2b7a0b1fb4b82d7fe6b.jpg30dec6337368d515da11b8702a0bb97a.jpgadd4bb5f21c49e26dddb9ae186681fad.jpga97c75d42f82cf178c6b33358c0cb6f3.jpg

@Dani2005 - I have to say I'm not one for white trucks.... But Holy S4!T!

 

I agree with @eppieguy. This is one of the nicest T1 rigs I've seen yet. Great setup, beautiful truck. Good luck with the mods!

 

I probably won't look to lift mine for quite a while.... Going to be looking hard at those coil overs when I do. They are sharp. Please report back on your experience with them.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
