Bringing this up from the past, was curious how you are powering the blackout switch/circuit when the master switch is in the service position? Did you jumper at the main service switch or is there an easy way to do it under the hood?

That helps a lot thank you! Looks like the middle terminals supply the power and I just need to jumper the top and bottom if I still wanted the switch to be able to kill them all in the middle position. Does anyone have a thought on how to do it if one wanted to retain the ability to kill the...

Was curious if anyone has wired the blackout lights/switch to function in the service lights position? I would like to use the existing wiring and switches for low draw led utility lights and not lose the service lights function. Was hoping this might be a quick fix/mod with some jumpers, thank you!

Bringing this thread up from the past, gunfreak where did you find the new studs used on your front battery bracket? Thanks!

Marcus I’m with you and that is EXACTLY why I am asking, because if one goes by the book here at least from the images posted it’s looking like 18, call me crazy, but I really don’t think those oem green wires are 18 gauge 🤷‍♂️

Bringing this thread back up for a quick semi-related question, does anyone know the wire size running to each gp? Thank you!

Hmmm I wonder how that would react with the rubber/plastic on the truck. Did he let it soak in very long?

I thought about maybe getting a quote on soda blasting it off hoping the CARC would not come with it. Really trying to do this on the cheap without causing any unnecessary damage to the rest of the truck. There are a few strippers out there I've seen like citristrip and motsenbockers I thought...

So one of my 1028s was either sprayed or rolled with what I am assuming is a latex house paint at some point in its life and I would like to help speed up the process of it running off the truck next time it rains eg. I hit it with the pressure washer. It's on there pretty thick and I was hoping...

I also might add for others commenting on the obvious audible/visual cues from the components already in place..... this is all well and good for people like us that know what to look/listen for, but my wife, kids, friends etc. whom also drive the vehicle do not need to know all that vs. glance...

DING DING DING, doghead you're the man. You read the post from a technical perspective and knew exactly what I was trying to accomplish which has nothing to do with "repairing" my current fully functioning gp system. Like doghead pointed out not all of us are parts swappers or wire cutters...

Curious what everyone's thoughts are on taking the dark blue ground wire on the light circuit and splicing it into the light blue solenoid ground wire to keep better/more visible tabs on the controller? Also thought about doing it by permanently grounding the light and using the solenoid's hot...

ccf460 what were your thoughts on the m105 vs. m101 front lip to center of wheelwell dimension when utilizing on a long bed truck? I am very curious what route you ended up going, thus brought back this old thread and made it my first post here on the site. I am looking forward to sharing my...
