Does anyone know or has anyone looked into adding the Factory Under Rail LED lighting? I mean is it something that I could add to my truck since I didn't get that option from the factory? I wouldn't think it would be too difficult since I have the cargo lamp button on my dash. I would think it would just plug into the fusebox somewhere and also tie into that switch.

 

Any thoughts?

I installed the after market ones. I tied them into my cargo lights. Great mod!!     Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

Just as a heads up: The junction box comes with a cover for the plug that these plug into. So I made my own plug out of the cover with a couple parts from other plugs i had laying around and sealed

I did not confirm but a salesman told me the wiring is in the bed even if the light is not there. Like I said a salesman said this so take it with a small grain of salt but worth checking into. If it is already there im sure you could buy the lights and add it.

I'd like to see a wiring diagram or service manual to see exactly where it plugs in and how it runs.

me too. Hopefully someone can help us out on this forum.

After searching the net, I'm not really coming up with anything. This seems to be the most active forum so far regarding the 2014 trucks. Some of the other GM truck forums don't even have a K2XX section yet.

i didnt even realize what a good option it was at the time when i orderd, but i didnt get the lights installed

 

I ended up buying the the plasmaglow led lights off amazon

 

placed them under bed rails

 

ran the wiring through the cab vents ( easy ) and up into the third brake light i tapped into the left and right wires of the white bulbs and spliced the ground together and tapped into the ground wire of the third brake light.

 

now when i press the button for the cargo light on the dash the lights come on!

 

Before all this I asked my dealer to, and they said "well its still a new truck we really dont know yet ......"

 

so it only took me like an hour and it was alot cheaper

OH!! and as for the wiring already being there for the lights ... did not see a single thing : (

unless its somewhere inside the truck behind the back panels

Looks great shotmark! At least this is an option if we find out the factory option isn't available. I hope that it is though. Thanks for sharing what you have found.

It will be offered as GM PN# 23145347, listing @ $135.00 + tax.

 

GM is working on getting these kits out there, but you can not order one as of yet.....

135 for the kit, make sure you get it on the truck when you buy it, it's only a 60 option that way.

 

I agree with your reasoning, but is only viable if you build to order or just happen to find the exact one you want.

Understandable, I know that it wont work for everyone, more just in shock that the option is only $60 but they are charging more than double for a kit to do it yourself, seems pretty jacked up to me. Looks like you have a good setup in your truck for this mod.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      By parthery · Posted

      Some clarification may help with some of these issues.   - Rev Industries is/was the division of BAK (now Realtruck) that makes covers under the OEM names.  So if you see one with a Ford logo on it, or if you are buying the GM Accessories cover, you are essentially buying a BAK G2 cover with different branding.   - Rev Industries now markets under RealTruck "Advantage."   - As of May 1, 2025, the Advantage covers now have a 5 year warranty.  Anything before that was a 36/36K warranty.   - Parts for the covers are available from Realtruck or BAK.  The email address to reach them is [email protected] or you can call them at 818-365-9000   - If the entire cover has to be replaced, you have to go through your local GM dealer.  Service dept opens an RO, notes the damage and submits it as a warranty claim.  Keep your paperwork handy so they can confirm when you purchased it and it's within the warranty timeframe.  Once the warranty claim is approved, Parts orders the replacement cover.  When it arrives at the dealership, service will remove and install the new one for free as labor is included under warranty.   - The Advantage covers are not the latest and greatest Gen 3 covers.  They still use the old school clamps, elevator bolts, etc...If you want the newer technology, consider buying your cover in the aftermarket world.  That way, if you have an issue you can deal directly with the manufacturer.   - Finally, RealTruck has a program with many of their authorized dealers that doubles the warranty to 10 years if the authorized dealer does the install.     Hope this helps.

      Welcome to the group!  My '22 just crossed 150K miles.  Runs perfectly.  Oil pump belt will be done in the next 30 days or so and onward hopefully for another 150K.  Love the truck.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!
