Super random question....

Anyone know what size the bolt stud is on the underhood fuse box for power? I want to add some power off that stud for the fogs + highs mod and my truck doesnt have a nut on that bolt.
nope, I just found one that fit, I take it you don't have bucket of nuts-n-bolts laying around?

If eTrailer.com doesn't lie:
Note: GM does not supply the attaching nut required to secure the wires to the studs. These can be obtained locally. You will need (1) M6 x 1.0 nut and (1) M8 x 1.25 nut.

If the safety latch doesn't release there is a procedure outlined in the owners manual that uses the jack to release it.

God etrailer is always awesome. Who in sam hell would expect them to know, and document a FREAKING NUT SIZE?!!?

I've looked at that page a few times and knew the photo of the fusebox was on there, but didn't recall the nut sizes being detailed. Lucked out, if they're right!

EDIT: I was impressed how easy my Tekonsha brake controller was to wire up in mine, with all the wiring in place and just the right pigtail to connect it under the dash. Truly PnP.

Well today my new spare hoist came. Got that bad boy mounted, got a new tire on the spare rim, and gave the spare rim a paint job with some anti rust stuff from rustoleum. I took a few minutes to grind it down a little with a wire wheel, but its far from perfect. It just wont be a complete embarrassment if I have to roll on it in the future. lol.

I took the time, finally after like 16 months of it sitting on my shelf, to use the fluid film anti-rust undercoating kit I bought awhile ago. For awhile, I was scared of it, thought it would be a huge mess, thought I would screw it up, etc etc etc. Well, last year when I sold my exs fathers truck, the guy I sold it to had a custom corvette shop here in indy. He had a wash station with a lift, so I was all, KICK ASS! I made him a deal that included me coming to use it when the burb came home. Well....I pinged him last night to see if we could make that happen. Turns out after 50 some years in business.....the pandemic got em and the business is closed. Well crap.

I just did it in my driveway, was very little mess, it was awesome to apply, the kit was perfect. I want to see if my mechanic will let me borrow his lift some time, I want to go over it again when I have a better field of view. But for now, it looks ok, and it serves its purpose.

Mine has a massive auxiliary muffler where the spare tire goes
(objects are bigger then they appear in the photo it's about 2.5 feet by 5feet and 6-7inches high)
I want to remove it and put a spare tire thing instead (Free up my cargo space)
:)
plus it will have the added benefit of louden it up
apparently if you remove the Aux muffler it sounds like a black hawk helicopter while in v4 mode


if I get pulled over just shift it into M4 (always runs V8 only also only runs v8 when idle or auto stop so it will be impossible to prove anything as technically and legally I only need one muffler)

it's pretty sloppy written the law it self it clearly states it has to be in neutral when the test is done . good thing AFM does not work in neutral gear.. :D :D

Why do the hybrids have those auxiliary mufflers? Is it because they have auto stop so they want the sound to be unnoticeable when it restarts? I want to hear it in “Blackhawk mode”.

Fair enough. Thats the one thing that really bothers me about the interior of these trucks, the visors are flimsy and cheap feeling. The NBS ones are so much nicer and more quality feeling. Speaking of the LEDs, those are the only interior lights i havent changed yet
I changed my low beams no flicker. Changed my backup lights and brake lights to led. No problems. Just when you do turn signals you need a load equalizer for those.

Installed the gruven heater Tee connectors yesterday. Getting the old tees off was easier than putting the new ones on. Not a lot of room to work with while putting on those clamps. I also didnt know you have to cut the plastic quick connectors off the heater tubes, until i saw a post months back. Gotta clean ghe engine bay sometime next week

That’s a good part of the reason GM uses quick connects there so you can just push them on. I’ll be going with the same OEM parts that came originally. They last for 10-15 years at least, all the problems come from people using the shit Dorman parts. Just replace them as maintenance items with OEM. Glad to hear you got all those clamps on.
