What have you done to your Silverado ZR2 this week? 🛠️

2500HD question...What type of fuses do I have? I look at these things and they all look the same...I need to use a fuse tap and need to know what type to order. Thank you in advance for this dummy question.

I'd have to look, but from the OM, there's a couple sizes. I'd assume micros and minis for the most part. Micros are tiny. Mini's are small but have semi-pointed blades.

The standard (ATO/ATCs) you see in trailers and generic fuse blocks are fairly big, they're easy to tell apart from the minis not only by size, but the blades are almost square.

There are cartridge fuses, where the body is like a cube, but I don't expect you'd be tapping those. Most OEs use cartridge fuses instead of higher amperage Maxi's.

Just in case you haven’t had an MXT before, make sure you change the setting to use the mic as the speaker instead of the head. (Or set it for both)

Good call- was aware of this already- one of the reasons I chose this setup. But I appreciate the heads up regardless.

Where are you looking to tap? There's three fuse panels?

Finally Installed a Range DFM module - so much better now.
Removed the front flow-tie and hyperdip it satin black, and replaced the rest of the chrome emblems with black versions.

How did you remove the flow tie

 

[ZR2BIZON]

Sledge hammer. Next question!

How did you remove the flow tie

Very carefully using plastic pry tools.
It has 4 tabs holding it in, but you cant get to them from the back side.
Just when it feels like its going to break, it pops out, lol.

Thanks. Would be neat if they offered a light up one.

I've tappeded mine in that location for my air bags. It's those long blade micro fuses. I also notched out the edge of the fuse box for the wire to sit in.

I got that tap from Amazon.
