Finished up my aux battery install and LED strip engine bay add-on. Red wire-loom makes for contrast, but I might switch it back to black. 

My original LED engine bay lights were ok, used 2 Eagle eye LED in the front radiator frame, they fit perfectly(pain to put in). I just needed more light

I use the Keyline 300amp Isolator for future upgrades down the road. H6 Interstate battery from Costco, MTA 0300839 positive bus bar, but will also be adding a 4-relay/12 fuse block, just need to make a mounting plate for it.

Not finish with all the final routing, need to make it cleaner. Will probably also move the fuse that's hanging onto the back firewall. Just used the previous spot I had my fuse for my amp mounted.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

LED strips off

And after turning them on...

 

 

God where were you when I did the dual battery and under hood lights on my truck last year looks great though, well done, I didn’t go as in depth with my wiring as I wanted to isolate the two systems for off-road equipment and leave the starting battery alone. I’ll have to get back on here and post. I haven’t updated anything on the forum in at least a year.

 I've been hanging around the other 'Add Dual Battery' thread for like 2  years collecting parts and they just sat around. I installed my battery tray 2yrs ago hoping that would get me going, but nope.. 

 

With the isolator, I can now move all my add-ons to the aux battery and leave the main battery alone. I like that it disconnects the main battery when it reaches 12.8v.   I had a battery maintainer cable on the main battery, but per the isolator diagram, it shows it on the aux battery, so did it that way and it ends up charging both batteries.

Finally got around to washing it, first real wash since Spring 2023. Also rewrapped the emblems to black.
 

 

I might be trading this truck in within the next few days, nothings guaranteed but I do have money holding a new truck. I am not sure how I feel about giving this thing up, it was my first truck, and it has served me well. If I do part with it, I only hope the next owner treats it as well as I have.

Let my 98 C/K stay at home today because the weather is almost 60 degrees here in Iowa.   Drove the 18 Denali to work and it turned over to 44k today! Man I love the power of the this thing, (compared to my 1998 5.7L 255 HP monster!!!) Also, with it being tuned, I love how it doesn't go in and out of 4 cylinder mode.

Just finished the 1st of 2 radio relocation pieces. For the 2014 and 18 sierra. Will be working on the Ipad dash piece in a month or so. I have to finish the second radio piece first. Then change some wiring.

^That looks like a heck of an undertaking.

Not too bad. I by no means am a body man, but I think it came out good. The ipad dash piece is a bit more involved. Will see how that turns out.

Switched out my cheap plastic wheel center caps for the aluminum caps I machined.

It's been a while! Haven't really done too much, but my truck definitely is getting pampered this week (while my wallet is not). With the snow and salt hopefully gone for the season, I crossed a couple items off my bucket list:

• Reapplied Krown to a couple of spots that needed attention on the frame and opened up the plugs and re-sprayed the inside of the rockers just to be safe.
• Got brand new OEM 6" black rectangular steps and I am in LOVE with them. I had some Steelcraft 4X Series nerf bars before and while I did like them, 4+ years in Michigan finally took a toll on them. I plan to refinish them and sell them
• Paint correction and waxing coming this weekend!

I replaced the thermostat in the 2014 Sierra 

And charged up the battery in the 2018 Sierra.
