Okay, this will help. Disconnect your battery, pull tail light and put a 12v charger on the reverse light hot wire (should be green) and find the hot wire in that connector with test light (could be the green wire you have circled). Then run a wire from that pin to shifter switch and from switch back to a key on hot wire. Usually they are beside each other in that connector.

The green wire has to have key on power to light up the tail lights when the circuit is complete.

Here's the wire I used to switch my headunit to backup camera when my reverse lights come on in an 06/07 truck:

It's the far right BCM plug C5 and it's the light green one next to the gray/black

I pulled my source off my radio harness if I remember correctly..


What wheel/tire setup are you running, did I miss that part...


Nevermind found it, you are running soft 8's. What offset? All I can find for the rear offset is a 4" backspacing.

I've checked the bulbs, they're good. Also checked fuses...unless I'm having a brain fart and missing something obvious. Possibly another source under the dash?

Well the CalTracs are in, still have a few more odds and ends to button up but should have it back on the Dyno soon. These things sure do sit low..

To say I'm proud of this little truck would be an understatement. Finally after countless hours building this truck I'd say 700hp is pretty respectable on a stock bottom end 4.8! We're still having a few issues on the Dyno with the truck falling on its face around 5500. We're gonna take it to the track and see if the problem were experiencingclears up at all, if not.. This winter I'll pull it and send it out for a reflash. We finished up at about 17.5lbs of boost and made 694hp, depending on how the rest of this season goes and if I can get a new motor together, we might turn it up some. Unfortunately I never gapped the rings so that's my biggest concern trying to keep this thing together. All in all I'm pretty damn happy, I Guess now it's time to finally enjoy it and get a few passes on it.

Sounds like that run went a little more according to plan. Things a beast man! Absolutely love this truck. Can't wait to see what it runs.
