Long Travel BS Thread

barely noticeable…with the headsets on and music cranked…lol

 

A caged truck without bypasses IMO needs headsets….

 

No intercom yet….so I just crank the music to drown it out.

 

It’s pretty bad unless your streets are very smooth.

 

I'm surprised it's that bad on road. I'll of course be getting headsets, but I'd just rather not have to wear them when driving for a few hours or more on pavement. I guess they click everytime the piston changes direction, so it doesn't take much of a bump to do that.

 

by the way, we did a video of @tacotunner06 's truck with some fun whooping footage if you hadn't seen it.

 

Smooth body gang...I can't handle the clicking...

 

I wonder if using something like an ace bandage wrapped around a cage prior to lifting it up into position would soften the higher frequencies from bypasses. Seems to reason it may to some degree. Could keep the paint on the bars by the seats from getting chipped like the carbon fiber wrap that I seem some guys use.

 

I have a 2018 with a LT kit, I mainly do slow speed crawling so I don't have a cage. I don't like my stock seats. Sense the stock seats have air bags, what do I need to consider if I want to change the seats? e.g. safety, disabling air bags on the seat to prevent codes, etc.

 

2 ohm resistor for the airbag harness that goes into the seat. I believe there's a thread somewhere in here that Meso made when he put prp seats in his truck

 

More to it than that if you don’t want dash lights and want the rest of the air bags to function at all. There will be a solution available in the next month or so.

 

This is what I based off of.

 

There really isn’t more to it though. Proper resistor and the system doesn’t know any better. Should have no lights and full functionality of dash and side curtain bags.

Summary for non caged crew so that airbags work like OEM.

- Driver/passenger airbag resistors
- Passenger seat weight sensors clamped
- Driver side seat position sensor (little black sensor under seat) set up similar to stock

 

What is the solution? Is someone developing a new OCS bypass finally?

 

this is exactly what I did. Just have to leave passenger seat belt plugged in, so it doesn't beep all the time

 

I got one of those seat belt chime things off of Amazon to plug into the seat belt, worked great.

 

this?
