After looking at various ways to add an extra reverse light, I bought the Morimoto XTR LED Reverse Light. It mounts at the top of the rear plate using the upper licence plate screws. It was $107 CAD.
This is how I did it and I'm sure there's probably a better way. Hopefully, this may help...
It took me a few minutes to realize there's a clip in that notch that has to be released first. In any case, I can't find voltage to any of the pins when it's running with lights on etc. Maybe tapping into the reverse wire in the taillight is a better way to go.
I'm looking into adding some reverse lights powered by the trailer connector. However I can't get the cover off the connector hanging by the rear bumper. I tried turning CCW and pulling on it to no avail. I want to check if there is voltage to any of the pins before I order a trailer pigtail...
I did some leak prevention last year and things improved. However I got in the other day and found water dripping from my hood release lever. The only place I think it might be coming from is a cut in the door weatherstripping near the spotlight hole. Anyone else have this problem? Thanks.
I wanted to keep mine at stock height so I can't comment on lowering. For stock height Belltech said to purchase 25004 struts for the front and 2412FF shocks for the rear.
So I'm having a heck of a time with my 2014 Tahoe PPV parking brake. I can set the pedal and it works fine but when it comes time to release it, no matter what I try, I have to push it all the way to the floor with great force before it will release. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
It's great. I can't compare it to the original struts because they were shot from Day 1. The rebounding is gone so I don't have to slow down on bumpy stretches of road any more.
Yes, I kept the stock height. The Belltech instructions said to use 6 rings. We did some measuring and it looked like 5 was closer. I called Belltech tech service and they said to use whatever looked best.
I decided to replace my original 2014 PPV struts. I was getting some unpleasant rebounding after bumps and they were rusty as heck.
Here is a parts list for anyone looking to do the same thing. (The springs weren't replaced)
Struts - Belltech 25004 - 5 rings matched the original ride height...
I couldn't find a jumpseat/console base for my 2014 so I used some flat steel strapping with holes in it and made 4 "legs" to go down under the inner seat bolts. I'd never use it as a seat like that but the console is solid now.
