I have a 2016 Chevy LTZ z71. So I assume it would be the same. But I would like to change out my backup and license plate lights. Is it just a bulb change? Or did you have to put on a resistor? Could you tell me the part numbers of the bulbs so I can be lazy and not do any research on it? Thanks in advance.

check you owners manual , dealership . 2015 chev takes 921 (back-up), 194 (license plate) , or just pull the blub and look at it . just change blub, NO resistor .

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.

That's right. I used Philips 921 for the back ups and cargo lights and Philips 194s for the license plate. If you are looking to do the back up lights as well as the cargo lights and 3rd brake light you will need 5 921s.

I used a black, aluminum housing, no lense, 16mm in each step. I used a dab of red loctite on each one to keep the nut from backing off. For the 16mm if you have a 5/8" drill bit it works perfectly.

 

When you have the step removed you look at the top and have the two mounting holes there. I just made a straight line between the two then measured to the middle (approx 3 inches) and drilled it. Simple and worked perfectly

 

Wired in with the led cargo lights in the bed, do not wire them in with the license plate lights as you can get a ticket for that bc you can't have white lights on in the rear while driving

Thanks for the info. This is something I will definitely look into doing on mine in the very near future.

I'm thinking if they are positioned at the back of the step they Would be a great additional back up light. Any reason you didn't wire them into the back up lights? Or any reason they couldn't be?

I put mine on the back of the step. http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/157013-what-have-you-done-to-your-k2-today/page-394?do=findComment&comment=1762767

When I do the cargo with reverse light mod they will go on in reverse.

I angled them a little bit down and out.

I plan on doing some type of LED cube for additional backup light

I have 2668 miles on my truck and I am getting these SR-A's taken off. I have zero traction. I called Goodyear headquarters and they gave me a full refund. I just need to pay the difference in price. So now I have wrangler All Terrain adventure with Kevlar. Hope I like these.

Dang dude I should have tried that, I take it you're getting some different Goodyears put on there? I got $200 for mine at discount tire as trade in's and I was happy w/ that but, I guess I shoulda called GY..... I hated the SRA's one wet road and I knew they were junk.

What did you tell Goodyear to get them to do that? I'm both surprised and quite intrigued as I have less than 2500 miles on mine.

Told them the truth of how unhappy I was with its traction. I told them I had no confidence in my truck do to their tires. They wanted to keep me happy. I still can't believe it myself. But. I had to get a different Goodyear tire and pay for the difference in price and pay for mounting and balancing at a Goodyear dealer. But on the upside I was able to add road hazard and lifetime rotation and balance.

Pushed the front bumper in on both sides (hit two deer). Broke driver side headlight housing and part of the grille. Barely noticeable unless you look. Fixed the broken headlight with JB Weld PlasticWeld lol I don't think I have any pictures. Some chipped paint up front as well

      I will be one of those "blinded". One, I like new shiny things. Two, I've never kept any of them beyond the 3/36. Three, I don't finance anything. Four, yep, it's a waste of money....so,what?

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By marpel · Posted

      Although there is a "recommended" weight by those who sell trailers, my experience has been that they are way too aggressive in their information, for me at least. My '22 with 6.6 Gas, has a payload of about 3400 lbs and depending on your specs (I don't have 4WD so it has a bit higher Payload than others) yours will likely be different. Payload is one of the most important numbers for towing. Although you "could" tow the max trailer weight for your truck, I, personally, would not go close to that number. Having said that, a lot depends on how/where you will be towing. I live in the LMD of BC and often tow to Denver, Co, along interstates (flat and mountains) and I find I need to keep it in 5th (6spd) for the trip and travel at around 65mph. This is for a trailer dry weight of just under 3500lbs. If you are only doing local, short trips, it would not be that big an issue if you had a heavier unit. You will be surprised how much stuff you load the trailer with, so I would only recognize the trailers "full" GVWR weight rating, then decide on the appropriate trailer from that number. If you are worrying about how much stuff you should be putting in a trailer, you might have too large a rig from the get-go. Once again, depending on what terrain/distance in which you will be pulling. Marv

      Disconnecting Battery

      By marpel · Posted

      davester, Thanks for the response, how ever, I think I am now a bit more confused than I was before I posted - - After I posted, I actually found a YT video of a guy who replaced his Module (above tire) and he only disconnected the ground cable of the battery, but you describe rubbing the two cables together after disconnecting. I presume that is to do as you describe and eliminate any residual energy? - When I picked up the Module (between my posting and reading your response) from the dealer, I specifically asked about any re-programming and he stated it was not necessary as it was simply plug and play. Don't know how knowledgeable he is, though. - The video I watched also showed the Module plug to be difficult to "unlock" and remove, but there was no mention of silicone, although the video did show a bunch of dust/dirt in and around the plug (old truck) during removal. Are you talking about silicone that was applied by the factory, or silicone that you applied prior to plugging in? Thanks again, Marv
