This is the club. Best forum on the net. Lots of DIY guys who care about maintenance.

Welcome and thanks for your service.

You first stop need to be to tune out the Afm if your truck has it. This is number 1

Next stop is a catch can.

Best headlights are true retrofits. You can find how to here many of us have done it. Nothing beats this.

Good luck.

There is a car show at my American Legion, I think it is in September, that was cancelled this year because of the China virus. On the forum there are regions you can post in to see if there is any shows. At the Member's Lounge Area, bottom of forum, there are Regional Forums under that. Click on that to check out.

Thank you for the tips, yes, my truck has AFM, I'm not mechanically inclined in the least when it comes to vehicles, although I am very interested in learning. Computers are my specialty. From what I've researched, unless I know someone with a tuner, it will cost about 6-8 hundred dollars for the AFM delete via software. So that's going to have to wait a bit. I can get the catch can very soon, and will do that after I get the lights installed.

Are you now learning that the members here love to spend OPM-Other People's Money? One of my favorite past times.

I have used these in a outdoor low voltage application. They seal out water. They work really well.

What Joe said. As for the catch can, a $20 one off Amazon is all you need. You just need two ports- one in, one out. A 1/4-turn ball valve for the drain is a a huge convenience so you don't have to disassemble the catch can to drain it. Don't forget the updated valve/rocker cover.

Lol, right. The mods I want so far are already going to cost me a bunch, and the wife aint happy. I'm sure you guys will give me all kinds of ideas to toil over. Guess I'll have to prioritize and take it one at a time.

Mine are the LED...

View attachment 269266
(Ugh..wrong way)

So you ordered a pair up? Which ones did you get?

The wiring was easy...if I can do anyone can. ;) One thing on the Yukon is that you can only aim the low beam with the entire front clip off, so I recommend just taking the whole clip off to do the change over. That’s with the Spyder light that I have anyhow.

Hey bro, what High/Low beam bulbs are you using in your halo housing? I can't put my LED's in because they don't fit, so I have to get a different bulb. I need an H1, but I'd like the bright, led effect if possible. Looks like I can go with a 65w bulb and no more. I'm installing them today.

I actually used OEM bulbs for now and just switched the housing. When mine burn out I’ll probably look for other options.

Welcome from Oregon. That McMinnville air museum is out my way. Nice rig. You never mentioned where you call home.
