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

Question for the experts
I dont currently have fog lights, would it be possible to wire this switch and also make use of the fog light button using my own wire/pins/relays I know it wont go through the BCM and turn the light on the dash but is it possible? Does anyone have the pinout for these switches?

Checked power and am getting about 13.5 volts from the switches plug to the bcm plugs, 

Hmm. Im out... hopefully Pgamboa or tinkeringfox will chime in now. Alot of people said that there was no programming needed. Since mine is a 14, its not possible for me anyway. I used a latching relay so there was no bcm integration needed. It works perfectly.

To repost again for those who cant get theirs to work through the BCM, I posted on page 13 how to wire up the latching relay shown above this post.  Mine works perfectly and is a instant on and off. No long press..

Posted before but, if someone has a red orl switch and wants a blue one, im up for a swap and some cash to you. I did the denali cluster and android  auto upgrade and got WAMS to change the radio display the Intellilink so it matches the cluster. I swapped everything else to red but cant get a red orl switch. Well, not for $125 anyway.....

Dumb question but I'm getting tired of scrolling through this long thread, are the switch part numbers the same for 1500, 2500 and 3500s?

Thanks for the great info! Video is awesome, best instructional I've seen. Does the switch work when your vehicle is completely off? As in, could you just open your door and turn those lights on? Or do you need the keys in the ignition? Thanks!

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      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.
