Have you seen the Michael J Fox Edition Sierra/Silverado rolling down the road? Looks like the Toyota from Back to the Future. Anyway there is a really cool headlight switch with the option for Off-Ro

For you guys with 2014/2015 or anyone else that this doesn’t work for (due to BCMs not being programmed to output these triggers), please be patient with us. We have an alternate method that allows

Ok folks, for anyone wanting this headlight switch harness, I have them ready made, and ready to ship.   $35 shipped anywhere in the US.   They are built with the same specs as shown in the vide

On my 2018 I have to wait about 5seconds before trying and it works every time. If you try before that, it won’t work and you will have to cycle the lights to get it to turn on/off.

Thats why I bypassed the bcm and did the latching relay. There is no delay what so ever. 

 

On a side note: anyone have a red-GMC ORL switch that might want to swap for a blue one. Or selling a red one? 

 

I replaced all the rest of the switches and displays to red. Also replaced the chevy cluster with the red Denali cluster. The red ORL is last on the list.

Here’s mine that I put in yesterday. Mine comes on, and goes off, after exactly 2 seconds of holding the button.

Anyone know how to install one behind the grill of a 2018 Denali (different grill than previous years) with active shutters?

No easy options right now, if you remove the shutters you will get a check engine light.

Read through..... several have done it. You will have to trim a couple of the shutter ends depending on your light size.

The back of 2018 Denali grill is different, I was told it takes up a lot more room than other gm grills. I’m guessing that would have to be modified as well. Just wondering if anyone has installed on specifically on the 2018 Denali grill.

I'm waiting for the grill to show up but I found this option if you want to check it out. They will do the grill just about any way you want and it will not interfere with the shutters and comes with a 30 inch light bar installed.

I know its just my OPINION, but who the hell would spend $1500 on a grill like that....  Sorry, not me. But, I guess Its gotta sell or they wouldnt be making them though. Also, I wonder how much the actual light bar costs...

The hardest part was getting the plastic insert out of the step to drill the holes. Only because I was avoiding removing the bumper because I don’t know about the 2500s but the 1500s you have to unbolt the bed from the body and raise it up to get the rear bumper out of the brackets. [emoji849]

I had these installed too but they were junk. Went through 2 pairs and both shorted out in less than a year. Poor customer service by Anzo as well since I bought them through Amazon they basically wouldn’t talk to me.

Just noticed I can’t find them on their website anymore and Amazon says currently unavailable. So they must of figured out how crappy they were.

Go on eBay get the ones by Octane Lighting. Those things at Anzo are junk. I went through 3 sets.

Installed the RC light bar with active shutters on a 17 LTZ.  You have to mod the bracket and add some spacers and trim the grill a bit but it works.

Added a double row 30” curved led behind the grill on my ‘18 Sierra. Made custom brackets and had to trim the back of the grill/shutter shroud. Worked out great.

I’ll get some finished pics tomorrow.

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      That's good to know, but I don't think I'll even be running them under 45 in the rear  unless it's on the sand or something but will only be for a short distance anyways!    I didn't read all the instructions in the booklet yet, but do you know let's say I set the rear psi on the placard to 45, will the warning light come on soon as it drops under 45 or is there a percentage it has to drop from the set value before the warning light is triggered?

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      By newdude · Posted

      That's bad.  Like, its probably destroying the stub axle the CV slides into.   Do you have a proper lift installed with differential lowering brackets?  Did you install AT4/Trail Boss factory CV axles?

      Hot? New Jersey? Today? I was working on my old 2000 Silverado 1500 today. Believe me, it was boiling hot today. As it has been.
