I just tried the 9011's in my 14 SLT and they are a little brighter but no where near what I consider OK, nor no where near my old stock '11 GMC. So I ordered the Mopar Elite low 35w 9012 kit from TRS. Will take me 1-2 weeks to get it put in. Will let you all know the results.

Plug and play bulbs? What's this?

OK well, aside from the mentioned "snipping" ; its essentially plug and play. No whiter tho which stinks.

ordering a few things

-morimoto fx-r 3.0 3" projectors

-morimoto 55w d2s 5000k kit

 

I know to order both the hd harness and canbus harness, but do i select them both as h11 type?

Because you plan to install the fx-r projectors, I believed that they take only d2s bulbs, so you probably want to check with morimoto to see which bulb wiring kit you will need.

Let me just this straight, I just ordered a DDM 5k HID kit for my truck, if I want the vled fogs to match I would need to get the 6k LEDs?

This a great thead thanks to all those who have contributed. Purchased a 15 Chevy 2500 HD LT3 CC/SB a couple weeks ago and after having DDM on my 06 2500, nearly the same day I ordered the same setup; Capacitor, 35W slim line and 6k bulbs. I have looked at the schematic some one did but it didn't seem to work for me. Attached is a pic of what I have for a setup. I have tried reversing the polarity on before and after the capacitor. Nothing has worked. I am sure it's user error but I could use some help. The only way I see it going together is the OEM harness to capacitor, to ballast to light. Am I missing some thing?

Is the kit 35W or 55W? If it is 55W then I believe that you can order the LED bulb in the same K (so 5K) to match the HIDs. If the HIDs are 35W then I believe that you will need the 6K LED to match the HID

You're missing a relay wiring harness. See diagram attached to post #1 of this topic.

Ok, so to be clear, if you are ordering from DDM, you need the HID harness along with your bulb choice, ballast choice and error eliminators?

Plan on waiting a lifetime from DDM. I ordered on April 10th and still don't have them. I called on Friday and was told the woman put in a request to find out where my order is and told me to wait 3 business days. They said I can't cancel an order after it was shipped, so if they don't have an answer tomorrow then I will have my bank cancel the payment to them. Last time I ordered it too 2 weeks, that was 3 years ago.

***Update***

 

Called DDMTuning. They are supposedly putting another request to the USPS to find out where my order is and a manager will call me later tonight to tell me what happened "because they want me to know they care" according to the woman. She put blame on Customs in China due to the Malaysia aircraft that was lost. The USPS said "that is an aweful thing to put blame on, there are no such facts to show that the Malaysia flight is affecting any shipments through customs."

 

I am currently on hold with USPS, as far as they can tell the package was prepped for shipment but never given to China Post or whoever controls shipment overseas. I am in the middle of being transferred to International customer service.

 

To be honest, this is my 5th purchase from DDM and all have taken ages to recieve packages. Over a month after pay $27 for shipping is rediculous. I plan to cancel the order tonight, whether it be through DDM or cancelling it with my credit card.

 

Guess its time for another brand :(

Alright guys, my morimoto kit was delivered yesterday and I put it in today. Ordered the relay kit and the error eliminators. Got everything ran and nothing. I had power and good ground. Single input harness so drivers stock plug obviously is not plugged into anything like the diagram on page one. So I swapped capacitors and still nothing. So I pulled the capacitor out and it turned on , but buzzed. I flipped the plug on the passenger. So for now I'm running no harness and I have the stock plugs into the capacitors then to the ballast. They work fine, but every now and then they would turn on and then one light will turn right back off. I can turn the lights off and then back on and the both come on and stay on. So am I missing something with why the harness is not working? Or why one bulb will turn off? Thanks guys!!

      Gas fill door

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      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.

      Active Grille Delete

      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.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      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?
