I have the Putco Blade and used the Putco "Plug and Play" harness which connects to the trucks tail light wiring harness not the trailer lights.   I tried the Curt harness from Amazon but my

I think you have to use the module to deactivate the tow package.  You would still plug it in to the CURT adapter.  Using the CURT adapter is the way to go to avoid hard-wiring the LED strip.  On my '

How did you guys tie in the reverse wire? Did you run them off the directly of the reverse lights or is there a way to connect it to the harness. My harness comes tomorrow. Super excited

If that harness connects into the 7 pin harness then reverse is included in those pins. I did mine without a harness and tied directly into the 7 pin wiring.

If we’re talking about the Putco harness, then you don’t have to worry about the 7 pin connector, or tapping into anything else other than where it’s supposed to go. And that is on each side of the truck, where the connector for the tail lights is. Then the harness has a dedicated connector for the backup lights that goes to the wire in the light bar. Simple, really

Quick question, I think I know the answer but anyway. I installed the tailgate light using the putco harness. My left blinker goes on when I turn on right and same as other side. Is it that the harness needs to be turned around?

Maybe you just have the light bar itself, installed backwards. It’s pretty common. The connections for the bar are usually on the left, driver’s side of the truck as you look from the rear.That doesn’t exclude that you can’t swap the harness around. Good luck.

I made the connection on the left side. I guess I’ll just swap the harness around

 

 

Update: I swapped the harness around and all is good. I feel really dumb sometimes

Hello everyone! I am on my 3rd Sierra and on my third Opt7 sequential tailgate bar. My newest sierra is a 2021 1500 AT4. I am reading the putco harness will plug right in with my Opt7 tailgate bar. Is this true even on the AT4 model? My last 2 I was able to hook into the trailer hook up and now it looks like that is no longer possible. I also have the trailer package. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Putco makes the led blade tailgate light I'm using, and it plugged right in under the truck in front of the rear bumper.

 

I know that doesn't completely answer your question, but hopefully it helps.

Putco Blade tailgate light bar and the Putco harness works great without using the trailer plug. Perhaps you can modify the Opt7 wires to match Putco harness if it's not a direct fit.

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
