That's awesome! Thanks for sharing!

 

Would love to see more photos of it at night and on during the day!

 

Also, you have any more pictures/insight as to how you specifically wired it up? i would love to do something like this... but would have to figure out how to get the grill off first....

No problem at all I’ll grab some tonight then tomorrow I’ll get some during day. The wiring wasn’t bad once I figured out the wiring as it had 2 relays into one switch to control the DRL then the rest of the bar. I used fuse taps to tie into the high beams and ignition

I put one in the bottom of the grill. It has a DRL feature so I wired it into my ignition for DRL then tied it into my high beams to turn the hole bar on.

These are the best I've seen.  This is custom work done by shoreline motoring .

Schmidty, I thought the AT4's had a 2" lift as well because that's what a guy locally told me, but according to a few different threads on this forum, thats not true. Only the 1500 AT4's have a 2" lif

nice! can't wait to see it. would love to find a complete tutorial on how to remove the front grill, if you followed on to get back there!

 

out of curiosity, any reason you didn't do it in the lower valence opening, in/below the bumper instead? that's where I'm thinking I want to put mine.

One with the Fog lights is the DRL mode on the lightbar then the picture without them is high beams on witch then turns on all led ‘s in the lightbar.

I was going to but then seen another guy mount it here and I liked it as well as their is a nice steel mount on the truck in this spot that worked perfect.I do a lot of winter driving so figured it would stay a little cleaner up higher. No I didn’t find a manual online to take the grill out. It was basically take the top plastic clips out then I believe their was some bolts up top to take out then the grill just pops out it’s a good little pull. Then I had to pull the black plastic by the headlights out to make room to get the grill out and unplug the harness for the camera in the front. I also has to cut the black plastic that was mounted to the chrome to get the lightbar in.

copy that! yeah, the pulling and yanking of pieces off the truck scares me... and without fully understanding what i'm pulling, i don't want to break anything. 

 

looks great man! does it improve visibility a bunch? thanks again for sharing!!

Yeah man I was so nervous! Yeah I love having it specially since it’s ties to the high beams then I can use the auto high beam button and don’t have to worry about turning the bar off and then the high beams.  I might put a 3 way switch in later so I can also manually turn the bar on when in low beam but not sure yet.

I put one in the same place on my AT4, those circular metal pieces that are attached to the bumper ended up working perfectly. Upside of the AT4 is that you can just pop the top part of the grill off and stick your hand through the slots to position the bar.  I never took the whole thing off.

What size light bar did you use?

Sorry to bring back an old thread but I've searched and haven't been able to find any examples of the Silverado grill. I just ordered an LTZ so I'm curious if anyone has mounted any behind the grill in basically any model that doesn't have the HC grill? Did you use a single bar or multiple smaller bars. Looking at the pictures of the front end of the Chevy it looks like I could probably mount it in the same manor as mx_master and it should like up with the bottom row on the grill just above the bumper.

Did you end up looking your light bar with the DRL feature? How is it holding up? This is a clean install! Well done.

I have an LTZ that does have the shutters behind the grill.  This leaves almost no room for even small light bars.  I wanted some good light output so I ended up mounting a 40" curved marine light bar to the bumper (32k lumen).  It's not hidden by any means, but I don't think it looks too bad and kind of breaks up the large grill area a bit.  I did first try to find something that would fit in the small slot at the bottom of the grill, but nothing that slim had very good output.

40” Black Oak curved fits easy in the new Grills. At least buy Rough Country lights, those Amazon ones are trash. But if you want to put trash on a nice truck, that’s all you.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
