Nothing noticeable. I don't rely on fog lights for night driving, the headlights on these are more than bright enough, but their website claims you only lose 3-9% of your light output. I would say that is pretty accurate.

Thank You for the info.

Added grille overlays to cover the black chrome. I was hesitant, but I am actually very impressed with the quality and how they fit the grille. Also painted the fog light surrounds and tinted the fog lights. Thinking I may need to change up the color on the GMC badge to red... thoughts?

I like that grill. Details please. I like the black chrome that comes stock though.

 

Edit: Didn’t see you had already posted the link. Have to do some thinking on this. Haha

No worries. I like that you can easily go back to stock if you wanted to. Attaches with 3M two sided tape, but fits really nicely.

Installed the Boost Auto 6Hi mod. Works. Will come in handy in this deer infested area that I live in.

Just installed Bilstein 5100's all the way around. Had them set to +1.1" in the front. Still need to put a few miles on them to get the true feel for them, but the ride seems much better. I also swapped out the 2" block in the back for a 1" so it is sitting much more level. I will get some pictures up tomorrow.

Did you have to change your shackle bolts when you put the shorter block in? Where you pick the 1" block from?

 

Thank you

I was able to re-use the factory U bolts with the shorter block. I picked up the 1" block from ebay, but it is made by supreme suspensions. https://www.ebay.com/itm/282178911788

Does the auto brights feature still work with this mod installed?

Yes. Also turns the fogs on. Now, it still acts stock too. So, if you manually turn your fogs on, the intellibeam does not function.

Thanks!  So your fogs are always on when brights are on,  and when brights are not on the fogs are still controlled by the fog button switch.

Correct. If you leave the fogs off and turn on the brights(with or without intellibeam) the fogs come on with the brights and go off with the brights. If you turn the fogs on before the brights, intellibeam doesn’t work just like stock but the fogs stay on with the brights.

Man. That reads confusing. Best $20 mod for the truck though. And easy.

That’s awesome.  Just ordered the Fleece Version “All Lights On” on Amazon.  Thanks for your help!

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Byrds8 · Posted

      100% agree, there are a lot of variables. I definitely do not drive I’ve like a grandpa but also don’t drive like I stole it. Truck is currently in the shop so I’ll have to get weight later. The price for driving it doesn’t bother me. My precious was a 6.2l so the cost between the two is a wash.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      that is pretty awesome MPG there!  I think so far one observation is these trucks do way better on MPG under 65mph vs 70+ and they really suffer at 75+   I noticed on the stretches into NE on 76 and 80 which is posted 75MPH and I was doing 82 I was getting more like 13.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By newdude · Posted

      No ETA is available for that engine at the moment in the GM system.   I would start at the dealer.  Try and talk to the parts manager or service manager and see if they can start a CX Connect case and get an ETA from GM on when engines may be available.  If they just check Parts Workbench and say "no eta", they aren't trying hard enough.  They need to do a CX Connect and chat with DPAC to find the ETA.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.
