2 step activation wire? I want to activate my 2 step off of my brake lights and I was wondering where the easiest place to tap in would be? This is in my 01 Silverado.

I don't recommend that, if you should hit the brakes on the big end for whatever reason you will slap the motor onto a limiter.
What I would do is if you want to run the 2 step off the brakes, have a momentary push button you have to be holding on the steering wheel or something like that for the 2 step to be active, in series with the brake switch. That way, once you leave should you hit the brakes again at a high rpm, you wont do anything goofy as long as you remember to let go of the switch too. Make sense? You would foot brake it like normal, and then just get in the habit of shifting your hand off the button once you leave the line.
