Early 2000 2500.
P.S. Mike, you say your 99 does the same thing? That is really wierd because mine was built between both of yours and it doesn't do it.

The springs were so compressed that they were riding on the bumper pads of the lower leaf, and would grind at take off. On the new ones, the bumper pads don't even come close to the upper leaf now. Truck sits higher too.

The switches I used were from the previous body style with the dash from 1995-1999 and it went in the dash right above the push button 4wd.
The switch I had has five pins.If you look at the back of the switch at the pins,mine had two rows of pins.I'll try to type out a diagram.
1 2 3
4 5
(1)was for the power indicator light on the switch.
(2)was the ground.
(3)was to back light the switch(I tied into the dash lights so the back light would dim with the dash lights).
(4)was from the battery or your power source.
(5)was for your light you want to operate.
And then where ever you run your wire just put it in some of the wire loom(the plastic tube with a slit) that you can buy.It looks better,And don't forget to put in an in line fuse.
I'm guessing that your switch will be different than mine though but I sure hope this helps.
I don't have anything on mine just yet but I will be putting on some sort of strobe light when I get a snow plow maybe next winter.

bco: nice pictures!
What really burns me is that aside from the snow plow prep package, I know of a few volunter fireman that would like to have the wiring there so all they have to do is drill and plug in. GM will not put this option in a 1/2 Xcab but will in a 1/2 std. cab and 3/4 Xcab...go figure?
Anyway the pin-out for the switch, which is where I think, this all started is as follows:
Top __
F A __|
E B
D C
A is unused
B is ground for the internal lamp and LED below powered by connectors D and E.
C is power out through the main switch for the relay coil.
D is power in from the dimmer to control the "Aux Lamp" light on the switch bezel
E is power in to light the indicator LED to let you know that whatever you have powered up is on... LOL
F is B+ power, that should be fused, to the main switch that goes through to connector C and on to the relay.
Hope this helps

That's for Tim
Darn right!

Well, they are installed and working. Took a couple of hours to fabricate brackets to mount them, a couple of hours more to wade through the wiring diagrams and decide on how to wire them (I wanted to use existing, unused wires through the firewall), a couple of hours more to actually do the wiring. In other words, the whole day.
The foglight portion works through the factory foglight switch. I added a switch for the driving lights in the small pocket where the autotrac switches would be if I had them. I had to fabricate a small metal panel to fit in that spot and hold the switch and an LED (to tell me when the driving lights are on). The driving lights only come on when the high beams are on.
Since I have the relay that has high and low beams come on at the same time, I now have Hi Beams, Low Beams and Driving Lights at the same time. If I can't see at night, I better get new glasses.

Anybody want to buy a factory foglight? I have both the right and the left available - $25 each.
