Fastws6ta: do u want the splitters back? I have no use for them. Can I still install this kit if I remove the lenses? I'm going to clear the headlights and have the black trim piece painted. Where can I get some switch backs for the turn signals and some demon eyes?

Anyone have pics of switchbacks installed?

You can keep them bud.

Is there anything special I have to do to them to keep from having super fast blinkers like most led turn signal bulbs?

 

Try resistor maybe???

 

Stupid question but, what I am supposed to do with the stock headlight connector when installing the Silverado spec kit?

uh no, not that one lol, plug that back in. Twist open the dust cap right behind the main headlight, you will see a 2 pin connector

Thanks, I figured it out after looking at the FastHeadlight install guide, long day lol. Now, next question, what about the two red wires coming off the morimoto projector? I'm assuming those aren't used for the silverado?

You could use them, but they are the bi-xenon shutters if your headlight is single bulb. Only really used in Sierras as they only have 1 bulb in each headlight, uncover the shutter with those 2 wires is for high beam.

 

You could wire them to your highbeam signal, essentially 4 highbeams all together! BUWAHAH!!

I don't know why you wouldn't run a highbeam splitter and run quad lighbeams tbh, the FX-R highbeam is awesome

If anyone's ordering anything from the retrofit source, customer service gave me these. I just ordered some new switchbacks.

just received my morimoto hid kit. Kit comes with 1 HD relay H11, 1 Capacitor Link, 2 35 w ballasts, 2 morimoto igniter (amp)?, and 2 6k bulbs. Alittle confused between the 1 capacitor and 2 ignitors?

Thanks to MotoMedi,and everyone that has contributed to this thread!

 

I've got a few follow-up questions if anyone has the time to answer:

 

I am looking to purchase my HID kit from DDMTuning, for a 2015 Silverado 2500HD W/T.

 

I have two primary questions, regarding the harness and caps. How do I determine whether I need a single or dual harness? And regarding the cap, DDM has two options: "BOW3" and 4700uF's, do I only need the caps and not the error eliminator?

 

My final question, would I have to get a separate balast if I wanted my hi-beams HID as well? The low is an H11 and the high is a 9005, if that makes a difference.

 

Thanks everyone, can't wait to get these in!

You only need 1 capacitor. It will go between the OEM power output (which is in your passenger side headlight) and the relay harness. The other side (driver side) headlight will be powered from the same source so no need for 2 capacitors. You have 2 igniters because each bulb needs an igniter.

I'm guess it was people on here that ordered my extended caps. Got two who did and would like to hear if they liked them.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
