Thanks everyone for the ideas and the info on where to tap into to get everything working right. 3 diodes for the tow mirrors got those going with clearance lights and the reverse lights as puddle lights. They shine right on the door handle. The black interior sure needed some more light..https://youtu.be/WCAJaZl2sf8

What, and how, did you tap to make the running board lights come on with door open/close?  Does opening the rear doors activate the lights as well?  I'm getting ready to install a set on my truck this weekend and could use a little help there.

I tied into the puddle light wire for the running boards as per Pgamboa here https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/202018-puddle-light-wire/. That way your running boards won't turn on while your driving and turn on your dome lights.

There is ground point to the right of the brake cable boot outside the truck. I ran the wires thru the cross member to the passenger side.

So, just crawled under my truck to prep to do this tomorrow and I don't think it can be done.  The steps I have, the main tube, is so close to the body that even if I did install lights, it wouldn't light up the actual steps themselves, which is the only reason I wanted to do it.  Back to the drawing board.

So I went ahead tonight and installed the Putco blade bar and the step lights.  They end up lighting the ground, which back lights the steps and at least lets you know where they are.  Acceptable for now I guess.

very nice. I agree that more interior lighting is needed on there. Would like to do something similar. What did you use for lights under the dash and seats. Of course that under hood lighting a great idea!

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
