Just got a set of the OEM lights 20979073 for my 2014 Silverado.

 

My truck came with a set from the factory , but I wanted to add the extra 2 like everyone else has done .

 

I don't see the place to mount the extra 2 in the bed .

 

There are no spots to screw them in , unless I make spots 

 

Any ideas ?

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

When I put a second set in I just measured a good distance between the two drilled some holes put some plastic clips for the screws bolted them up

My kit came with the clips for the wires .

 

I am mostly concerned with how to attach the lights to the bed .

 

Drill holes ?

There are no other factory locations for the lights if you have the "short" or "standard" bed (they are only supposed to have 2 lights).  The kit should have come with self-tapping screws.  I just held the new lights where I wanted them up under the rail and used a cordless drill with a nut driver to run the screws in (stop before they go all the way then finish the tightening by hand or you will crack the plastic tangs on the housing).  After that just run the wire loom from each light back toward the existing lights and splice the wires together.

Does anybody on here have an 8 PIN connector left over they would like to sell? I got the 6 PIN with the kit I purchased and I need an 8.

The six pin for the '16 and up harness with both Stop Light and Cargo light wires is back in stock on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07C488SBN 

 

The 8 pin harness is available on ebay.  User mtushmoo

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      By Black02Silverado · Posted

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
