Hey guys, new to the forum. Been on here for about a year since I bought my 2018 z71 but just made an account this past weekend. Anyways, I started planning and ordering some parts for the truck and one of the things I plan on getting is a switch pros sp-9100. I have been looking around for mounting solutions and sdhq has a nice one but no one seems to make a tray for our trucks like all the Toyota guys have (see pictures). So I reached out to @sdoffroadmt on Instagram and started talking about possibly getting a tray developed for our trucks. I’m just putting some feelers out there to see if anyone here would be interested in getting something like these for their truck, is there a market for that here like there is for the Toyota’s? These trays really tidy up the switch pros wiring and give it a nice presentation.

 

Let me know!

 

Thanks guys.

Where would you mount it? Where the second battery tray is?

We are going to meet up and go through and try to figure out the best spot. The second battery tray is an option but people might have a battery there. Maybe on top of the fuse/relay box or something. That was part of my hope for the thread was to see if you guys have any suggestions or preferences?

On top of the tray is a”factory” distribution block, correct?

No I mean the factory put some sort of distribution posts on top of the battery tray, correct?

This is what mine looks like. Yeah, primary battery has some kind of distribution box on top of it. The second battery spot is totally empty.655BA2F0-2C86-4A5E-B33A-944CDC130EAC.thumb.jpeg.1e4580bf41b43ad109abbc0e3265b58d.jpeg

The only concern I see with this is it goes against switch pro's install instructions, step 7 stating that "The use of a Terminal Block IS NOT RECOMMENDED, as wires are left exposed and susceptible to water and corrosion."

Yeah. Some people make covers for theirs. But I would just heat shrink and sleeve everything. Then it’s no different than any other connection you have in your engine bay. The terminal blocks are a WAY better option than just using butt connectors and leaving any in used switch pro wires exposed. Looks a lot better too. How would you do the switch pro otherwise if you only had, say half the buttons being used, then the other half of the wires would just hang there?

      ‘25 Silverado purchase- back to dealership for bumper/radio issue

      By Atomicgrl · Posted

      The no sound problem is the audio amplifier. The audio amp has a heatsoak issue in some circuitry which causes it to miss the wakeup handhake. If it doesn't respond within a certain time parameter, then you get no sound. I brought it in and had the software update, but after further testing the tech made the call for a new audio amplifer. The software update I belive gives more time for the amp to respond, but if the amp is defective then you can still get no audio at times. After the update it went 12 days before no sound. After doing some research, apparently the fix is a new (updated) audio amplifer, the circuitry internally has been improved to better deal with heat. I had to wait 2 1/2 weeks because at the time, it was on backorder with no eta. Well the amp came in earlier this week. I had the amp and programming work done today. After picking it up I stopped at a few places, and whenever I started my truck, the audio was on instantly, so whatever they did it appears to work because it's never had sound that quickly......Hope this helps

      Make sure the latch mechanism is properly greased. Look at the catch for fresh marks/scratches. And see if it has moved a little, too.

      Thoughts on these wheels?

      By PBNB · Posted

      I have the 18" black mutilspoke wheels that came with my truck. I like them as they are very subdued and look good with the 295/70's    I am sure that the next set of wheels I get will be some after market all black wheels. Or maybe some AT4X wheels.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Interesting question which you partly answered in the word 'potentially'. I think that is going to be a 'point of reference' inquiry. What are the touchstones?    This will sound petty but it is the main source of end fighting in threads on this topic. Define a motors "Life". Think about the various arguments that have been entertained on these pages in that very argument.    I can only speak from my viewpoint. Engine "Life" in my world is defined by power cylinder integrity. For the majority of engines it is the bore/ring interface that quits first. Loss of seal. Oil consumption and loss of power. Most Pro motor builders would agree and there is a good deal of information on using "Leak Down" as a primary indicator of bore integrity. At home a compression test is more the thing. If we can agree on that then I think CC Jensen has done its homework and I'd find it valid.    Now by my own definition, Dizzy, wife's Ecotec 2.4 I-4 has been dead since about 80K miles. And yet we have logged over 200K miles more on it. "Life" and "Usefulness" are therefore independent.      I know a mature fella right now who has just hit 300K on a Mitsubishi 3A92 NA MPFI motor and has done compression test every 100K. It was 205 psi after break in and is now about 195 and still even. He uses shelf oil but good filters and adheres to a 3K mile OCI. He even do UOA's on each of them for the first 50K.      I also know a fleet mechanic with that same motor that gets 300 to 500 K out of them but the are oil using, wristpin sloppy, skirt slapping motors. He ran one with a piston pin so loose the piston was bouncing off the cylinder head for about 20K miles before he called TOD. Both of them claim success.
