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?

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.

      Silverado 4500-5500-6500 are they still being produced? Would have sold better as GMCs as well

      By C/K Man · Posted

      There was talk over the last couple of years that the contract to build these trucks between GM and International would not be renewed.  International moved production of all their other trucks besides the companion CV model out of the Springfield plant some time ago when they opened their San Antonio plant.  That left Springfield only building the Silverado Medium Duty, International CV Series, and some Express/Savanna long wheelbase cutaways.  International also put the plant up for sale some time ago.  This all answered my earlier question as to why GM and International did nothing with these trucks since they were introduced, as they had basically become a market 'placeholder' with a finite life.    The Silverado Medium Duty/International CV trucks were interesting combination of a GM powertrain, electrical system, and K2XX Silverado cab with an International chassis that was supposedly designed for a step-van type vehicle they never produced.  They were manufactured in International's Springfield plant along with the IH MV series initially.  When first introduced, there was much talk that the Silverado Medium Duty/CV would eventually get a gasoline engine option along with other upgrades and GM and IH would work on a class 6/7 joint venture truck.  This was before VW bought Navistar out, after that happened no more was said.  Draw your own conclusions...   About the time talk started that the GM/IH joint venture was not going to be renewed, rumors started that GM would develop a new line of medium duty trucks themselves.  The story is the new trucks will be part of the next generation HD's due in 2028, and will still feature a 'straight rail' chassis design that the current medium duty has.  GM views this as a desirable feature that differentiates their truck from the competition.  A gasoline engine option is also expected.  As the current Silverado Medium Duty remains in production until September 2026 and there is still a lot of inventory available do not expect any official word for some time.   I believe GM remains committed to their successful partnership with Isuzu, and all the LCF models will still be available from Chevy Commercial dealers.  Isuzu is on the cusp of opening a new large plant in South Carolina and there is also speculation that this may result in new product for both Isuzu and Chevy Commercial dealers.

      Software Update

      By nfisherman · Posted

      I have a 2026 2500 HD Ultimate. My phone app says there’s a software update available. It’s something about improved battery management and something to do with the running boards. I follow the instructions for the update but the “Check for Updates” option is greyed out in my settings menu. Has anyone else seen this? How did you resolve it? The help message just says “see your dealer” if the download doesn’t work. I’m just trying to save a trip.

      Exhaust Question

      By newdude · Posted

      Fuel mileage?  That's all how you use your right foot.  Exhaust will give you sound.   Stock exhaust 5.3 is 2.75" diameter piping.     If the truck is nice and worth putting some $$ into it, I'd go for a Corsa catback.  I had one on my 2019 old body 5.3 and it was just perfect.  Zero drone, just driving around and cruising on the highway you'd think it was stock, but when you opened it up it was like a Camaro with the factory dual mode.  Corsa bumps their catback to 3in diameter.
