So I go to replace my reverse bulb socket, and the one they sent me doesn't even resemble the stock one at all. The stocker has 3 wires, the replacement has 2, and the locking tabs are different between the two of them. Other sites also show the replacement as the one I was sent. First pic is of the original plug, second is the new plug.3cab4c4cd2a55c311f7848798c3911e5.jpga055266719dae8afa55c7253f290877c.jpg

It looks like one black in and one black out it is probably grounded in series so you will have to hook the two black wires and a white wire from the new socket all together in order to make it work.

I was wondering that myself, but I'm not sure if it'll even lock in place since the tabs seem different. Guess I'll just have to open it, and try it. Hopefully it works, damn socket cost me $35.

It will, it will just take some "negotiating"

I think I asked before, but where do we order those gm-trucks stickers? I'll rep it on my new truck [emoji106]

 

And I finally did a 4 hi mod on my 02. Can't believe I've put it off so long and it took 5 min. Get me a set of 9005 5000k HID'S to put in and I'm sure it will really light up the night

First post, thanks for the idea to do 4-hi mod on my 02 Silvy. Nice truck, it looks beast with that lift!

Thanks man! Thats actually my play truck now, got a 14 CC High Country as my DD a little over a week ago. And yeah its real easy, just ground out the yellow wire on either low beam. I did passenger because I have a cold air intake so it was real easy to access. Couldn't believe how easy it was!

Troubleshot and repaired my 12 volt socket on the front of the truck. One my crimp on terminals wasn't quite tight enough and wire slipped out. Plus did a little rerouting to make the whole harness look a little better. It really almost could pass as factory now...almost.

Congrats on the new truck! My 02 looks like your play truck but factory ride height and pretty much factory everything lol. Just got the truck a few months ago, and I love it!

99-02 were great trucks. Super easy to access and work on everything. If you ever need tips on something just private message me and I'll help however I can!

 

I actually just yanked the trans from it yesterday. 3 hours taking my time by myself. There again, this is like the 5th time I've pulled it, plus a body lift really helps things go along a lot faster lol

Appreciate the offer man! I enjoy driving and working on this truck, except crawling underneath because it's 2wd so it's pretty low to the ground lol. I wish I had a lift for the sake of working underneath the truck and of course it looks good. Just had from what I could tell a MAF problem, but a new MAF from the scrapyard hopefully has solved that problem.

You could always try cleaning the MAF sensor before replacing. Also check to make sure no wires are broke

Tried cleaning it with MAF cleaner, didn't help. The truck would stumble when started on cold mornings, but when I unplugged the MAF, it would run fine, plug it back in, it would try to stall or stall. I will find out tomorrow morning when the temp is cold if the MAF was actually my problem. Probably should have tested it with a multimeter before replacing it lol. The wires didn't look broken either.

Sounds like you solved it but you'll find out tomorrow morning!

Lol thanks, I'm hoping it's solved. Will report back tomorrow morning on that 1.

Have you checked the idle air flow valve for that cold start issue? I'll be replacing mine soon for that very same issue.

    • Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?  
    • Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.  
    • No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.      
    • Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.
    • I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
