Hi fellas, I have a 2003 RCSB WT and was wondering if anyone can tell me where the under the hood lamp orange and black wires connect to which block on the fuse block in the engine bay? Or can anyone tell me where I can find a wire diagram that would explain it to me? Ive been searching for a few days on google, youtube and AI search but havent found an exact location these wires connect to. I recently connected some wires for fog/driver lights and found they connect to the green block but Im having trouble finding information for the hood lamp.

charm.li (website) has wiring diagrams for your truck, and earlier ones w the oem setup.

 

For my '12, I mounted an led strip along the front and powered it from the trailer power stud on the fuse box.  I'm considering switching it to two strips located more outwards are the hood, so I can see more down the sides as well.    The single small bulb in the oem spot would annoy me (but it might have a wind-up cable?, making it less annoying if you can use it like a wired flashlight).

I was thinking of doing the same thing with led strips but since i found this hood lamp for free with wiring I was just trying to find out where I can plug the wires into. Much thanks for the website referral. Ill definitively check the site out. Im not good with wiring so Im definitely handicap when it comes to this stuff. I remember those wind up cable lights. They were very convenient for sure. I was thinking of popping in an LED bulb to see just how much this O.G. lamp would shine over the engine bay but at this point Im thinking adding some sort of strip would be easier if I can find a how to tutorial being I havent much experience with wiring it up.

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      From what I gather, you have a 2.7 Diesel  You cannot use Chevron gas in it.  Howes has a diesel add-in and it states it cleans injectors.  Me personally, wouldn't bother with it.  If it's not broke, don't fix it.     Just my two cents worth.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By KARNUT · Posted

      Looking up on the web you can the information that would seem obvious. You asked engine components to do more. You get more wear. The answer is they can last just as long but required more maintenance. Apparently having to change lifters, cam and associated components are maintenance or repairs. In some research the normal life span of valve train components are 80-100 miles with 3-5K miles oil change. So the next logical conclusion would be cost per mile. I use that analogy with my wife all the time with vehicles. My Odyssey is approaching 170K. The cost per mile will go up at 200K with maintenance. Looking at a low cost car. A K-4 with a 10-10 warranty. Selling my Ridgeline that’s about to hit the same maintenance milestone. My argument becomes not only I get worry free driving. But at no cost increases. Because I take the money from my Ridgeline and maintenance savings and other potential savings. I’m driving for free. So tying it with a bow. It makes you wonder. Is this a grand conspiracy by the auto makers? Raise the potential maintenance high enough. Buyers by extended warranty to 100K miles. Do the minimum maintenance required. Trade in at the warranty end. How long should they last? That question is what keeps people up at night. The answer is much more complicated than it used to be.

      Could you cite your source on this?  I cannot find any reference to the US secretly taking the oil.  I find references that the US helped oil tankers move through the Strait of Hormuz, but nothing about what you're stating.

      Since the media YOU and your buddies are programmed to watch failed to mention this, I'll fill you in.   Trump admitted today that we've grabbed 150 MILLION barrels of oil from the Iranian tankers locked in the Strait by our Navy. We turned off their transponders, took them out to sea in the dark of night since they have zero radar capabilities anymore, offloaded every drop onto another vessel, and put them back by morning so no one was the wiser. That oil has been en-route THROUGHOUT the entire conflict.   Main reason he admitted this is to let even guys on our own side who joined leftists in complaining about the prices that he hears us all, and has taken steps to make sure this didn't spiral into a BAD situation ... just like the mainstream media has been PRAYING would happen, just so they could gloat. Amazes me how these people are rooting for the destruction of THEIR OWN HOME, just to make a President they don't agree with or like look bad! That's next level TDS!   I know your not capable of giving our President the benefit of the doubt, again due to your deep programming, but THIS is why oil never hit $150 a barrel as predicted by your programmers, AND the reason oil continues falling. Like I said before, Trump's got a plan, and this is proof of it. By the end of his term, we're going to be in GREAT shape for a change!   Since I just spent $3,000 this week on #2 heating oil and gasoline, the war most certainly is ending! 🤣   https://mxmnews.com/article/ba359ac9-2711-4851-92de-187f2400f2dd?breaking-trump-cancels-iran-strikes-deal-now-approved-by-all-parties
