Has anyone removed the tow hooks from their 2022 refresh yet? I found a pair of red ones that I'm going to pick up. Just curious if it requires removing the bumper completely to get them off.

That looks like the pre-refresh bumper. Is it the same for the refreshed trucks?

To be honest you could probably remove or unbolt some of the underbody plastics and unbolt them without removing the bumper

The accessories install sheet shows the bumper does not have to be removed to replace the tow hooks.

 

Make sure the ones you are getting are for the refresh, they changed the design of the mounts so the 19-22 ones won't work.

If you can reach the bolts without removing the bumper, then there is no real reason to remove the bumper.  I pulled mine when installing the winch mount but I don't remember whether or not I could have done it without removing the bumper.

I personally don't like the red hooks. I find they stick out and too much and looks like 2 zits on a models face. I prefer the black subdued look. It looks cleaner. Just me but it's whatever you like.

After looking at the posted instructions and under my truck, the bumper will have to come off because of the extra cooling the 3.0 has.

 

Thanks everyone.

Good thing he’s putting them on his truck and not yours.

That's right bud. I like chrome maybe he doesn't. I hate black wheels maybe you don't.  I'm giving my opinion and that's what a forum is for. If we all had the same truck, liked the same wheels, colors etc. then there'd be no need forum. It's all what one likes. It's all good brother.

But no one asked for your opinion and what you like. All the OP asked was how do I change it, not if you or anyone else likes it. While I am with you and not a fan of the trend, I still don't throw my thoughts and beliefs in areas it isn't asked for and stick to the subject. Some people like big wheels on a truck, others don't; see how that works?

And who asked for your opinion on my opinion? So you're in the same boat. NO ONE ASKED YOUR OPINION SO F**K OFF Tyler!

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
