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

This is my dash now that I did the Denali cluster and all red controls. But I just need the red ORL switch now.

I ordered one from Tasca parts.  After taking my money, they informed me that it is a special order item, that will ship to me 7 days or so, after they receive it. I found one on Ebay for $20 more. It has already shipped,  and is almost to me. As soon as I get it in, I'm considering trying to get a refund from Tasca. If  I cant, I'll have one for sale, if it ever gets here

That is true. I called my local dealer yesterday, he said 7 to10 days.

I guess I'm just used to Amazon,  Ebay,  etc. If someone has something for sale listed on a website,  I'd like them to actually have it. If you have to order it to fill my order, that takes forever.  I could have gone to my dealer for that. Maybe I'm just impatient.  I get that way, when I start a project.  Anyway,  I will most likely have an extra blue one, when it gets here.

Thanks. I probably will, after my Ebay one gets here, today. I want to make sure this one is what it's supposed to be.  No picture on this one. Another reason I ordered from Tasca to begin with.

Stupid question.  Switch and harness installed.  Does the dash light come on, without the yellow wire to under hood relay connected to anything?

I was testing to make sure my connections were good before continuing.  Plan to hook the light bar up this weekend.

If your truck is in fact one of the ones that winds up working like it should from the factory, then yes, it's just a signal out.

Mine is an '18 Sierra.  Shouldn't it? Just hooked up the relay under the hood to (temporary) light bar...nothing.

If you do a long press of the button, does it come on? Do the headlights have to be on?

Nothing comes on. On mine, with headlights on. Switch functions fine for lights and fogs. Nothing from offroad switch. I guess I'll get the relay board...

Is there any way to light the instrument cluster with that setup, or at least the switch?

Gonna have to go back a bunch of pages and read. Might have to do the latching relay like I did. Some just dont work for some reason or another.

Yeah. I've read through them. Ordered one. Does yours light the dash or the swich?

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.

      Let's pivot this back. Someone said they wanted pictures.   Even better, there's already video. Pre-prod prototypes are already on the road and they're letting the press drive them.   JerryRigEverything did a good review. I really enjoy his content and EV adventures, so I was thrilled when he had the chance to review a Slate:

      The Charger EV was stillborn. Wrong car at the wrong price for Dodge's intended audience. Now at a good price with fire-sale discounts, and still not selling, it's still very much the wrong car. Again, Dodge's intended audience. I believe a lot of Stellantis' EV blunders were all under Tavares' regime at Stellantis...the board convinced him to move on. Neat car, just wasn't received on the level that would sustain mass production.   Dodge is headed in a better direction for its core business. I didn't think there was anything left to get excited about re: the Durango after its 15 year run, but they're just now releasing a 392 version that should price out in the low 40's. Nicely done. I'm not sure I would touch anything Stellantis makes with a 10' pole these days, but the Durango is still mostly parts designed like 3 parent companies ago so maybe it's still OK?
