Awesome. I appreciate you sharing the pics. Where did you get them? Did you order the kit from somewhere? If so where?

 

Thanks.

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

My truck came with it but the dealer never installed since the box was hidden underneath the rear seat . They download the instruction from GM and gave it to me.. Lulz

Since the inside of the bed is virtually identical, they should work. Wiring to the back of the truck would need to be accomoplished. I am looking to put these in my 2013 Sierra.

Will these work with a GMT-900?

 

They should mount fine, I would think since the beds are pretty much identical. Only thing is, will they be plug and play? Look at the instructions that were posted in this thread and see if you have a junction box by your spare tire. I doubt it will have the plug connection, but you could tap onto it, I am sure for power, etc...

The photos clearly show plugging into a junction box so I'd say its plug and play.

Those instructions are for a 2014. He was asking if it would work with earlier models. So plug and play is in question unless you know for a fact that there is a connection by the spare on earlier models labelled "up" like it is for this 2014 specific accessory.

My GMT-900 buss is different than the one in the photo. I can't see the labels but there is no open slot.

 

Do they have their own switch or are they connected to the cargo light?

They are turned on with the cargo light.

I was under the impression that if you got these factory installed they had their own switch in the cab next to the switch for the cargo lights. Am I wrong? Now that another month has passed, what is the cheapest place to order these from?

The cargo light switch activates the bed LED lights as well. There is no other switch to turn them on seperately at this point. It would be nice if it were seperate if you had the bed covered per say.

I agree, wished it was somehow tied to the tail gate being opened. Hate the fact that if I want to turn it on, I have to open the truck and turn on the cargo light. There wasn't a lot of thought put into these by the GM engineers.

 

Maybe the aftermarket will come up with something. I'd like to see a company like Pop a lock tie it into their design. You hit the unlock button, the doors along with the tailgate unlock and you get 4-5 min of light in the bed.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

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

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
