    I have a 2019 Silverado LT Z71. I bought it brand new and never liked the “boatiness” of the front and bunny hop in the rear. My question is, do I upgrade the front first or rear. I can only get one end done. I was thinking start with the rear since I won’t need an alignment then eventually do the front. BUT if the front is recommended before rear, I can do that. I’ll be going with Bilstein 5100 shocks.

    I’m leaning towards staying chrome or going colour matched now. I’m leaving the grill the way it is.

    I’m paying for the bumper, not insurance. Going through insurance would cost more than it’s worth. Not just the deductible but the rates would go up. Doesn’t help living in Ontario where we pay some of the highest rates in Canada. There is a place a few hours away that has factory take-offs which also include fog lights and sensors if required. Cheaper for the whole thing, than the dealer would be for just the chrome section.

    I need to replace my front bumper after a minor accident. Not sure which way I should go. Get another chrome bumper, go black, color matched or even after market. The hood current has matte black stripes on it. Hard to see in the attached picture.

    My previous truck was a 2017 Sierra SLE and I find it ride better than my 2019 Silverado LT Z71. I’m finding the rancho shocks make my truck ride like it’s a boat on waves. I hit a dip in the road, not even a big dip, more lime a bump, and it’s almost like the shocks are almost finished. Same roads I drove everyday with my 2017 Sierra, 2014 Silverado Z71 and my 2012 Sierra. This 2019 is the worst for soft, undampened, suspension. My 2014 Silverado Z71 wasn’t as soft as this one. Im looking for options to replace the shock

    Do you happen to know the number they are supposed to call? I’m betting my dealer is still doing it the “old” way, which is why my dash light doesn’t come on.

    Mine doesn’t and the dealer doesn’t know why. They called the tech line and still no answer. My fog fog lights work. The dash indicator does not. The tech line figures it wasn’t installed properly. The jumper (brown/white wire) from the brown BCM connector to the green connector under the hood was already factory installed and I only had to install the one wire that was part of the harness going to the lights and goes to a second location in the green connector. I’ve tested the brown/white wire for continuity and it is the correct wire and tested good. Also when you turn the fog lights on, the brown/white wire on the BCM connector sends a negative signal which is what turns the fog lights on. That tells me it’s installed correctly and it is not programmed correctly. I may talk to the owner of the dealership and see if I can go program it myself cause it doesn’t look like they know how.

    The green base can come up also which will give you more room to separate it and have more room to work. I think there are 2 tabs holding the base down.

    In the attached pictures, the small brown connector is what is in the BCM under the dash. Mine already had a brown/white wire so the instructions said I didn’t need the jumper. In the other pictures, the green connector is what you open and the wire gets installed from underneath. I had to remove a wire from B3 position to be able to install the wire from the kit. I did not have to remove the wire from C3 since that is the brown/white wire already installed. Also I just tested the pre-installed brown/white wire and I have continuity. So I do not need the single jumper wire provided in the kit.

    I have the same problem. During install, it mentions if there is a wire on the bcm connector on circuit 10, then there is no need for the jumper. I went to the dealer twice now, first time for the initial program and this time for them to verify the programming. The tech line doesn’t know why the dash icon doesn’t light up. I’ll be verifying the pre-existing wire on the bcm connector and under the hood for continuity tonight. At at least the lights work though.

    Before I go ripping apart the Acadia harness, do I need the female ends or male or both? As you can see, I should be able to find enough wires to complete the mod.
  14. sse1990
    That's great. Once I have a look at the harness I'll get a hold of you.
  15. sse1990
    Ok thanks. I'll go through the harness first to see if anything is useful. And if so, I'll go trough the info I can find and get it done. I have one of my good meters at home. Actually I have 2 good meters at home. Backup meter is always a good thing, lol. It seems pretty straight forward. Hardest part might be getting some useful wires from the Acadia harness.

    I'm going to have a look at home. I just remembered today, I still have a complete front wiring harness for the 2016 Acadia I had. Goes from under the fuse box out to everything in the front, headlights, sensors etc. I might be able to find a few wires out of that to get the mod done. I'm just guessing that I will only need to run the wire for cargo lights and marker lights? So 2 wires? Plus re-pin the passenger mirror to adjust properly. If I can't find any of the connections with proper terminals then I'll have to order the DIY harness. I'm not worried about damaging the connectors on the Acadia harness since that vehicle is gone.
