    You should do a how-to video to explain to everyone else how to do how-to videos! This was so well done.

    I was a mechanic at a GMC dealer in the late 70's and I installed cab marker lights on 4 or so brand new trucks that were not ordered with them. At the time you could order a kit complete through GM with a template for the holes. Your video brought back some good memories! Keep the videos coming!

    • @williamsantiago7303
      @williamsantiago7303 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@robertharris4034 4 hours tops and that's because I took my time measuring the holes twice and running the wires. I imagine there's some out there that can do it in less time like maybe 2 hours. There is NOTHING hard about this job, it's simple but just a little time consuming and that's it.

    You got the rig- doll 'er up! Sure am glad it's YOU doing this. I'd just pull a Red Green and duct tape 5 cheap flashlights to the cab but I'm not that industrious. I know a guy that used a flashlight with red cellophane taped to it for a tail light for hauling hay after dark. I think the local law knew him too and just let him go on and not get involved with a fire or an explosion if they didn't have to. My x Uncle-in-law said if you didn't believe in a Higher Power, just ride with that guy or just be around him for a while. You would! FINE JOB on the Big Boy!

    • @lewiemcneely9143
      @lewiemcneely9143 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I had an x-uncle-in-law that had an old Dodge with a worn out fuel pump cam and he built a scaffold over the cab, mounted the tank on it and gravity'ed the gas to the old flathead. Ran it that way for years. And another old drunk used the windshield washer bottle. Enough gas to go get beer and back home. Takes all kinds I reckon!

    I just finished installing a flasher for my clearance lights on my 2019 Super Duty, they flash as intended when auxiliary 1 is on, but I no longer have power when off. I’ve checked the fuses under the passenger kick panel and they are all working fine, I did find that no power is reaching the connector on the A pillar passenger side, is there another fuse to check, manual doesn’t specify which fuse is for DLR lights. They look great and excellent job on the install.

The little tab on the base is broken on two of the Factory OEM and one base is cracked, I have a roof leak coming from one of them this video should help me. I didn't know that the roof lite bases had nuts on them. This video showed me what I needed to know.. I have a diesel engine with dual batteries,will i need to disconnect both negative posts?? Thanks again,

  • @hommie789
    @hommie789 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I hope you have better luck than I do with those lights. I have the 2013, same thing, and the lights rip off from the wind when driving on the highway. I have replaced each light as it rips off at least 6 times each and looking today my center light has a small gap between the cab and the light which is the indicator it is going to rip off in a week or two. The studs in the light pull out of the light base assembly, and before you ask no they are not over tightened as I even got the torque spec and tried a few actually torquing but now i am back to just using a nut driver.

    Hi... awesome installation.
    I would like to install on my 2016 F350 Super Duty Lariat. Today I called the dealer here in Anchorage, AK to price out the lights and harness. The parts guy looked up my VIN and told me that this would not work on my truck because there is no place to plug the harness into cause my truck was not wired for it at the factory. I looked under the dash following your instructions and see the single wire, but looking for the other with the 10 pin connector... it ain't there. Ugh! Tried to visually follow the single wire up under the dash... and it does not appear to merge with any other wires.
    If in fact there is no place to plug in the harness with the cab light connectors... can I just wire it directly into an ACC slot on the fuse panel?
    Thanks for your thoughts.
    Stuck like Chuck

    Awesome video! Quick question: The first connector by the parking brake bracket that you disconnect, is that the antenna wire for the Sirius radio? I have a 2012 F-350 Lariat, and got a set of cab lights and a harness out of a wrecked 2012 F-450, but the harness I got doesn't have that connector on it. Can I splice it into the new harness or just leave it out? I plan on replacing the factory radio and not using Sirius... Thanks again!

    @nsheridan37 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey sir, love the video! I am currently doing this to my 2015 F250 and I am having a HELL of a time finding the right harness. I finally got the correct harness last week with the proper connections for the lights, airbags, etc, but when I run it under the dash it has a totally different connector underneath. Would you mind reaching out to assist when you have a chance? Thanks brother!
