    Little late to this forum, but I replaced my stock halogens with Auxito LEDs off of amazon. Highs, lows and fogs for around $150 total and they are amazing. Direct plug and play and still able to use dust covers.

    $1500? That's crazy. Guess they realized how big of an issue it was and upcharged a lot. My quote wasn't from a dealer, but rather a local mechanic. Lucky for me, a buddy at work had done his the week prior and he helped me Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    I got mine from o'reilly's and at the time it was like 139 plus tax Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    I would suggest doing the replacement on your own, ~$150 compared to, what I was quoted, $500. Plenty of videos on youtube, take about 2-3 hours and a few cuss words, but not too bad. And rent a vacuum pump from o'reilly or autozone too Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    The 14s and 15s were notorious for the condenser leaking. Not sure about the 16s and up. Try looking through the grill on the driver's side and maybe even the passenger side and seeing if there's a wet spot on the side of the condenser where the weld is. Usually a slow leak but you'll see a wet spot. Mine would take 2-3 weeks to leak down Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    I had a 2015 silverado on stock rims with just a level from bilstein 5100s and 33x12.5 fit just fine, had the slightest rub at full lock in reverse, but that was it

    I put 295/60s (33.9x11.5) on my 16 before I did the leveling kit and had 0 issues, Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    What does the plug and play kit consist of? And does it make it a full hmi unlock? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Did you ever figure it out? Happened to me once, but my door actuator went bad and would only lock manually, one morning I got in the truck realizing I had forgot to lock it manually but still had locked and set the alarm via key fob, figured someone came by and opened my door during the night. Truck was a 2015 Silverado Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Old 2015 1500 in first pic, bone stock at the time New (to me) 2016 HC 2500 HD Duramax in second and third. Cognito leveling kit with UCAs and Bilstein 5100s all around. Toyo AT II 295/60/20 I will always be a summit white fan and all my trucks will be summit white. Super clean and sophisticated looking when detailed, turns head with how bright white it is, I love it Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Did you just do a hood swap with the 17+ hoods? Or did you do the whole conversion under the hood to? I have a 2016 HC 2500 Duramax and want do the conversion Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    So how would you correct it, get the 14-15 style arms? Or just a lift and some spacers? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  14. Tx_operator87
    Are all these problems y'all were having stemming from the stamped arms? What is the difference between what was on the 14-15s and the stamped steel ones besides the material? I could Google, but thats no fun. My 1500 was a 15 and had no problems with the 33x12.5x20 toyos, do the stamped steel make that much of a difference? Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Wow! I'd be livid. Rejection isn't an excuse for poor craftsmanship, do the job right or don't do it at all. Hope you don't go back to who looked at it the first time. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    My 2015 Silverado had the RHA bilsteins on the highest notch and barely, I mean barely rubbed with 33x12.5x20 Toyo at 2s. Got this 2016 2500hd and put a cognito level kit on it with bilsteins all around and 295/60/20 (33.9x11.6) and don't rub at all. Some one told me the 2500s wheel well is slightly bigger than the 1500s, but I dunno if it's correct or not, look into it, you could possibly fit a 34. Also, the toyos ride smoothe, are pretty quiet, and still look aggressive. Buddy of mine got 75k out of them Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    Yea it's not bad, a guy at work literally did his the week before mine, so with him helping it took bout 2 hours, just tight in some areas Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    If you're going to do them yourself I'd do it all at the same time, if you're going to get someone else to do it I'd see what kinda labor they'd charge to throw the condenser in there too, if the price is right you'd save yourself the mf's and gd's of it all lol Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  19. Tx_operator87
    Oh ok. It's actually a really snug fit once you screw the bolt in and tighten down on it a little bit, I didn't have any problem with it leaking or anything afterwards Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    New gasket for which part? The trans lines just have the retainer ring thing. And they fit real snug, so it they're offset in the slight it's annoying to try getting it all the way back in. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    2 befores and an after. Traded my 2015 Texas edition 1500 for a 2016 High Country 2500 HD. Cognito leveling kit with bilstein 5100s all around. Toyo A/T II 295/60/20. Rides better than a new truck. No regrets going to a diesel! Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    There's transmission fluid that runs through it from the radiator Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
  23. Tx_operator87
    Hard to say man. They look/felt much better than the factory one I pulled out. But I found a good deal on a 2500hd like 2 weeks later and traded my 1500 in for the diesel. But in those 2 weeks I had no problems lol, so maybe someone else could have a better response Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

    This is what I replaced mine with. The OEM one is clearly cheaply made when compared to this one. The weld where mine cracked looked like yours, the new one looked solid and I was very comfortable putting it in and not worrying about it giving out like the factory did.

    I probably would have been fine with one big bottle or 2 smaller ones, I just wanted to make sure I had enough. I just use the gauge off the refrigerant bottle to check the pressure and as long as it's in the green you should be plenty charged, then I'd just check it 5 or 6 days later and see how much has changed Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
