Can i use both wiring harnesses together, the fog light one and the SLT modification one? My wife bought me the SLT/ LED harness for our anniversary and now I kinda want to get the other one too now that I saw it. Thanks in advance for your help

GUY's.................. I have done it, well the team @ Legit LED performed this task for me. I went to Legit Led and asked if i bought some GMC Denali led headlight could they wire the up and make them work. I told them to go to this sight and research all the issue with other's not being able to and if they thought they could i was game...... A couple days later Legit LED called me and said "sure no problem, they could easly install the lights". I was amped, so i asked them to order the lights for me and once they received them i would come by. I talked to Legit and they had already assembled the harnest before i arrived. The connections were so proffesionaly installed with connection like the truck has. Not butt connectors or cheasy connections. All wires zipped tied and covered with the wire plastic covering. Here is the most important piece....... THEY WORK AS IF THEY ARE FACTORY........ DAY TIME LED IS ON WITHOUT THE HEADLIGHT, AND WHEN THE SENSOR KICKS ON THE LIGHT FOR NIGHT THEY DIM ( NOW BOTH TOP AND BOTTOM LED'S ARE ON ) AND THE HEADLIGHT KICKS ON.......WOW WOW....... LEGIT LED CAME THROUGH. Now im having they painta nd install custom rear tail light............ I have a 2015 GMC SLE, which i have installed a denali grill and denali headlights giving me that look without the sticker $$$$$ lol. ( Pics are truck off the dealersip lot vs up grades " Grill and headlsghts "......

Nice. The harness from Gen5 is professional made as well all in wire loom. It plugs in and works as it should (no more headlights on during the day) plus an extra little feature when you use the keyless entry remote. I have my harness all zip tied as well running under the radiator shroud cover and looks as nice as you can get.

Please answer this question for me.... I've been reading through all the posts trying to figure out if I need to order 1 harness or 2??? is it 1 per headlight or does the harness take care of both sides?

is it possible to have the LEDs be full powered when the headlights kick on? instead of half-power?

Probably could but no really there's no need. Top and bottom LED's on low power are bright enough at night. The bottom LED's on high is designed as DRL's and the purpose is to be seen during the day. Bottom LED on high power at night serves no purpose because the LED's aren't designed to project and give you more light for driving plus, they may be too bright for oncoming traffic so really there's no advantage to you. I'll try to take a pic of the top and bottom on low at night and post it.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.
