Installed these 5000LM LED headllights http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/351578649307 ... The color matches perfect to the factory DRL LEDs but the light output is not any better than stock, not sure if I'm going to keep them or switch back to HIDs

Only LED headlights that seem to work well, atleast from what I've seen cause I used some for a while, are some that are like the LMZs and can adjust at the collar.

 

I had some LMZs and they were almost as great as HIDs

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

I considered it, but idk, i think i wanna stick with the oem white led theme. I just cant decide on another color. Ive been wrestling with this on my projector headlights too. I kinda wanted to do an ambient led in there for when the headlights are off. My truck being silver, its such a neutral color... if i had a blue or red etc truck it would make my decision easier

Dude, a nice blue would set off the inside.. Nothing light, but deep blue. IMO, that would look sick.. Blue accents good I think..

Blue would probably the only color other than white i would go with. I think that would look good in my projectors as well. My goal however with this truck is to make it the way I think chevrolet shouldve made it from the factory (level front end, 22" wheels, lighted footwells, under rail lighting, running board lights, etc) and i just dont know that blue would even be considered by chevy. Im pretty torn. Should i really step into the realm of full aftermarket look, or high-end oem look. Idk but for less than $6, i figured id try it out and see. Eventually im sure ill get bored and mix it up a bit lol Edited by dbcooper748

Good concept to drive your vision. At least that way everything you do, or think about doing will be thought through based off of what you'd be looking for if it was offered stock.. I like that thought process, keeps you within a realm of reality..

I too am a new truck owner but have always modded my vehicles, some more than others. My last ride was a 2010 accord coupe, and my goal with that one was to basically make it the coupe that Acura shouldve made, and it seems i am now stuck on continuing a similar theme. Like my accord, i couldnt afford a $60k high country (or an acura at the time of the accord), so i have taken the opportunity of using this 32$k LT Crew as a blank slate. So far, ive got way less than 30k $ in upgrades, and short of a few things (mainly a 6.2 v8), i have the truck that i feel is coming close to that level (and in some cases eclipsing it), all while being able to pick and choose exactly what i want in a vehicle along the way. So thats my approach to how ive been modding Edited by dbcooper748

Awesome travel, and great vision. I have the 15 Sierra Denali 5.3L. Although it's top end, I still see mods that seem as though they should've been options or standard.. I too will do things that are in due bounds, but set it aside from other Denalis

They look rad! Just ordered 6 sets to do the inside of the bed, the foot rails and in the cab... Any pics of how they actually mount?

well they come with 2 sided foam tape. I already had some 3m red stuff, which i trust a little more than the provided tape, so i removed it and applied mine. Other members here have used the tape that comes on them, with no issues, but i figured since i had a few rolls, that i would just swap it. Im sure they will be fine just the way they come. Heres a couple pics. One showing where i installed the light above the running board (basically went in between the 2 plastic knock-outs), and the other showing the back side of the COB light in the process of applying the 3m red stuffpost-148296-0-80230400-1448515891_thumb.jpgpost-148296-0-01341300-1448515910_thumb.jpg

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I would have to read back to get a better picture in my mind of some of the other comments and what they were using for a driving scenario they based the fuel mileage off of. That is why the fuel mileage conversation is extremely difficult to make fair comparisons from. If I was to be living in town and only driving around town, light to light and some longer stretches that doesn't have a light every block, and the usual stop at a grocery store and the bank and so on and so forth, my fuel mileage even during the summer time would be so bad with my truck I don't even want to know how bad it would be !. Then add in winter time and idling to warm it up to clear the windows and driving through snowy streets etc, large heavy trucks with gas engines have NEVER been worth crap for fuel mileage and why some little pot licker of a car with wheelbarrow tires and a 1300 cc four cylinder non turbo engine was the ticket to using a mere fraction of the fuel over a full size pickup.    By the way my truck has the 34" tires as its a HC but not the BFG KO3 tires ( that was an option for my truck but the sales guy couldn't figure out what the tires actually were so that never got on the order until it was too late to change the truck order ). So what fuel mileage your getting actually sounds good for "town driving" and with my truck when I go to town the fuel mileage keeps increasing as I get closer to town because it takes quite a while to get the driveline oils warmed up ( and why it always shows better fuel mileage on the return trip from town because its already warmed up ) but once I am in town that fuel mileage average just keeps dropping the more I mess around town and then has to recover back to something reasonable again by the time I get home for an over all average.    I'd be curious what your sticker says for the factory weight of your truck, mine is close around that 7700 lb due to the options it has. But anyway the long and short is, vehicle weight, higher rolling resistance heavy tires and a hefty driveline and a relatively large gas engine make for crap fuel mileage in stop and go scenarios, all one can do is drive it easy off the line at each stop and as my dad had said over the years, drive like a raw egg is under your foot and that's the best one can do. Years back with a carbed engine and if the carb was getting a bit out of tune etc as would the ignition system, the fuel mileage on pickups with larger engines was just awful compared to what your getting. We pay the fuel price penalty for driving HD trucks over some little vehicle, that is the reality.

      Slate Electric Truck

      By KARNUT · Posted

      We had two Toyota’s with that engine in the mid 80s. We had 50 gallon fuel tanks, a toolbox full of tools, an air compressor and assorted parts for our equipment. We beat those up and down pipeline ROWs until we started buying diesel trucks. Then they became parts runners and first vehicles for our teenagers first cars. Our shop Forman wrecked them both two years apart when we hired him out of high school as an apprentice. Good thing he’s an excellent mechanic. It took awhile before he could be called a good driver.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      I have a 2025 GMC Canyon Denali.   On a trip recently the engine failed.  The dealership diagnosed a bent valve and says there is a service bulletin that indicates to 'relace the engine'.  The truck only has about 14K miles and is under warranty.   The failure occurred 5/11/2026.   So far I have worked with GM Customer Assistance and Roadside Assistance.  Evidently no engines are available and nobody will offer a date when a new one will be.   Coming up on two months with no repair or timeline and no loaner from the dealership.   GMC Customer Assistance is 'ghosting' me and keeps closing the cases I've opened with no resolution.   Hoping someone can help me on how to escalate this issue.
