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!

      This video may not be the exact content for the joke thread but its a lot of laughs so here it is, I've only watched a portion of it so far but if anyone is looking for some light hearted good soap box driving action, its here. As a note in the upper left of the screen it shows the number out of 100 to refer back to any particular vehicle for comment !.    https://www.facebook.com/reel/1351928276956715

      2023 DRW Wheel Liners

      Did have to make 1 modification because of the WeatherTech rear mud flaps and that was needing 3 longer screws than what came with the install package. 😄

      Picked up the liners yesterday. Installed passenger side WITHOUT any modifications. All mounting holes lined up perfectly. Rain is interfering today with drivers side. Very Happy! Will add pics when finished

      OCI, not when but why?

      As a matter of amusement I’ll leave this conversation with this. Do you beat the government average fuel estimate? Statistics are a guide to me. Not a rule. Someone once said I have to have the last word. If true and possible may be. I’ll blame that on working in a family business.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That is a fair point, and I agree that trying to log “everything in the truck” would be the wrong direction.   There are a lot of modules and a lot of traffic. If the product became a full-truck datalogger, the amount of data would get huge very quickly, and most owners would never use it.   I think the first useful version would need to be narrow: - powertrain-side event evidence - selected high-value parameters - communication / voltage / reset events - pre/post event window - short report first, raw log only as backup   One distinction I should make is between active OBD/PID polling and passive bus capture. If you are polling PIDs through OBD, then yes: the more parameters you request, the lower the effective sample rate becomes, and you are adding diagnostic traffic to a vehicle that is already busy running itself. With passive CAN capture, the recorder is not asking all the modules for data. It is listening to traffic that is already on the bus. So it does not consume vehicle bus bandwidth in the same way that a scan tool polling hundreds of PIDs would. But your point still applies in a different way.   Even if passive capture does not add bus traffic, the recorder still has limits: - processing rate - storage rate - timestamp accuracy - decoder workload - event filtering - report size - user attention span   So the answer cannot be “log everything and let the user figure it out.” The product would need to store enough raw evidence to be useful, but only decode, graph, and present the important parts around the event.   A practical report should probably show: - what triggered the capture - how much pre/post data was preserved - which selected parameters changed - how those values compared to baseline - whether the same pattern happened before - whether any voltage, reset, bus-off, lost-message, or communication fault occurred - selected graphs around the event - raw data only as supporting evidence   So I agree with you. More data is not automatically better. The real product is the reduction from raw data into a useful event report.
