TP2 is the GM RPO code for the oem dual battery setup. About half of wiring is in there, but there are still some connections to make between various engine/chassis/midbody harnesses and to the solenoid and all that other stuff.

I built my own second tray and put in a group 79 in. 80 amp hour. I used a constant duty solenoid and ran it off the windshield wiper keyed hot wire.

Hey Everyone!
Just joined up a few days ago. Still waiting on my member number in the mail.
I'll be keeping an eye on this thread for sure. Just bought a 2020 Chevy 1500/V8, short bed crew cab, 4x4.
I don't plan on doing any major rock crawling, but I would lake to take it off the beaten path for some overlanding adventuring.
I'll probably need all the guidance I can get! haha

That sucks! Sorry to see that.
I'm still getting use to driving my truck. It's definitely heavier and tight turns aren't its specialty. I think I know what people mean now when they talk about body roll.

Recovered the battery from my truck and decided to go with a smart battery box may not be a bad idea as you guys gives you the ability to move between vehicles... using a battery charger i already had recharge with post on the box so you don’t have to remove the battery and box has 1 USB and 1 12v built in...

I've given some thought to a battery box but with the OEM tray and the ease of just putting a second batt in the truck, I'm just going to do that. and I have a bunch of the parts already to do so...
In other news I'm always impressed at what we can do in our truck. It manages to be a great platform, especially in a the short wheelbase versions.
