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

      Oil Consumption

      By chris21 · Posted

      You seem to be struggling with reading comprehension.   I HAVE SAID 3 TIMES THAT THE BOTTOM OF THE CROSSHATCH IS A QUART BELOW FULL.    I have also said that the manual will not call that "1 quart low" because it is not a quart below the acceptable range in answer to asilverblazer saying that he has never seen the bottom of the marking noted as "1 quart low" in a manual. The wording of the manual allowing for an acceptable range would indicate that .00001" above the add mark is ok. Also, because the manual allows a range, a quart below full and a quart below acceptable are two different volumes. Thus the manual will not use the phrasing "1 quart low"

      injector cleaner 2021 2.7 1500 silverado

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      GDI Injector tips are in the combustion chamber and yes, they are subject to the same aromatic hydrocarbon based carbon build up the entire chamber is subjected to. Chevron Techron is a PEA based cleaner (polyether amine)  that is VERY effective if the dose is high enough.  Carbon the tips disrupts the spray pattern so keeping them clean is kind of a big deal. It will clean more than the injector tips. It will keep the inside of the injector tip clean as well. When they shut off they 'hot soak' building varnish internally behind the pintle. The tip, unlike most MFI systems have several orifices of very small diameter. They have to stay clean to work right. That spray pattern is supposed to spray into the cup in the piston, not all over the cylinder walls. Old guys will understand...    Top Tier Chevron has enough of the cleaner to be effective if used regularly. Other solutions could be Shell V Power Nitro + Premium and Exxon/Mobil Supreme Plus Premium ONLY use a different chemistry to the same effect with the added bonus of a friction/antiwear additive as well. Red Line SI-1 is PEA based as well with an upper cylinder lube. There's a white paper on their site for shock treatment of system left untreated for long periods. AMSOIL PI has a full system cleaner of yet another chemistry that will strip carbon out of the power cylinder pretty quick. Gumout Regane is also PEA based but at very low doses and those that are isopropanol based will not be effective. Alcohol content is way to low. Chevron Techron in any pump gas, Use by package instructions. 10 oz per 15 gallons every 3,000 miles. First use may require two treatments.    So, Techron, Red Line SI-1 and AMSOIL PI if batch treating and Shell, XOM Premium or any Chevron Fuel will not just keep it clean, but will clean it if dirty. No other fuel "I'm aware of will do that".    Flex Fuel motors. If you use at least 40% alcohol on a regular basis they won't carbon at all. PEA is not recommended for fuels over E-20     (www.carparts.com)

      4 Wheel Drive System

      By Another JR · Posted

      It is always a good idea to exercise it at least every few months to make sure the actuators don’t get stuck. It is also a good idea to actually drive it for at least a few hundred feet when you do that so seals experience motion and oil movement.  Off pavement or snow/ice is best for this, but driving wet pavement in a straight line for a  short distance will work if you don’t have other options. I have  forgotten and gone as long as six months between exercising it on my 2021 and it has always shifted promptly.  I usually just use my straight 300 foot gravel driveway.

      4 Wheel Drive System

      Absolutely!  These forums are legion with posts of people complaining that their truck wouldn't go into 4WD when they needed it to.  Most of them hadn't used it ever or in years.   I try to run mine through the paces every month or so and drive it a few miles on a dirt trail near the house a couple times a year if not already off-roading.
