  1. I know guys were switching the 2020-23 front ends from ltz and high countrys to the lower trims but i have not yet seen the new front end being converted. I have a 2024 Silverado 2500 LT coming that should be here in a week or so. Only took a year lol. I grabbed the harness from Gen5DIY. I got the part numbers listed below from my dealer as no part listings are online yet. I just am not sure on the grill my dealer gave me numbers for. I’m not sure if that comes with the chrome bars on it or not. It seems unusually cheap to have all the parts on it. They are also charging a core for the headlights when you order. 85620357 grille. $481 85615608 front fascia $530 ( comes primed ready for paint ) 86514718 headlamp $1319 86514717 headlamp $1319 listed incase anyone else is interested in the parts. Looking the numbers up online cheaper prices do come up than my dealer gave me. I will probably be going that route once I can confirm the grill. I will check with dealer tomorrow to verify the grill.
  2. Hey guys. So every truck i have had i have always wanted clearance lights on it. I was going to do this job a couple years ago but i am glad i waited. The new 2021 lights look awesome and are super bright. I ordered the lights and the oem harness for them. I then made carboard templates for the lights to help layout and measure them onto the roof. To cut the square 3/4 holes i used a Dremel and a small file. ( next time i will invest in a square punch) Under each light i did add some silicone to seal everything up. While this step is not necessary i did it just incase. I then torqued each light down to 80 IB in as that is what GM calls for in the 2021 trucks. To connect power I cut off the factory 2021 connector and butt spliced a wire and ran it back across the roof to the passenger side terminal block and into the standard plug for clearance lights using a GT280 female terminal. While writing this it all sounds so easy however the job took about 6.5 hours. I took my time with layout and measurements. Honestly the worse part was that both end marker lights had to also go through the front support structure but only a little bit. That took some doing to cut that. The center light has 3 holes and the center one of that the entire thing had to go through the support bar. That took some work. All in all i am happy with the project and think they came out great. If anyone else is thinking of doing it i say go for it!
  3. Ok guys question for yall. My 2011 Silverado 2500 8ft box has just started to rust around the fender wells. I was looking at getting it fixed when a 2021 new box take off showed up in my area. Now its more cost effective at this point to do a box switch. I know for the most part a 2019 bolts right up. With the 2020 model year the 2500 moved to an all new truck. Does anyone know how much modification there would be to get that model bed on the 2011? I know about the new electrical and would run a wire to feed power to the gate actuator. From looking at the bed i am thinking the issue would lay in the cab corners with the shape of the new box. As well as possible fuel neck. If anyone has any ideas please advise. Thank you!
