The philips are red, so they aren't as bright. But they do shine backwards to hit your reflectors.

 

The other ones have a proctor and are bright white.

 

After they are in the tail light you can't tell a difference. So either or really do the job.

 

Philips say they last 12 years tho.

I ended up getting these off eBay yesterday. Hard to pass up for the price. If they're not as bright as I want, it won't be too much of a loss and I'll just order some other ones. LOL

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.

Same kind I have on the bottom half, you will notice that they aren't as "all around bright" as your stock bulbs but do one side and than the other and you will see the difference in the amount of time it takes for your stocks to light up before your leds.

 

Don't forget to order resistors! lol

You only need them to stop the hyper flash they will still work but your vehicle will give you a notice, that will automatically go away when the turn is complete.

Got the rear lift blocks on, looks like a truck should again with a rake. Had to keep the stock shocks, had an issue with the new ones. Those are to be added in a week or two now.

Added some LEDs to the rear steps, hooked them up to the reverse lights, took all of about 30 minutes, start to finish. That includes mounting and connecting the wires. Reverse lights and cargo lights are all LED also, next up are those brake lights. :thumbs: I'll try to get some night shots today and post em up for those that are curious.

Definitely want to see night pics

Drove up a mountain. No alleged shakes. Did a advance scout for hunting season. Spent 3 days hiking in the bush. Came down the mountain (no new commandments). No alleged shakes. Washed outside vacuumed inside. Perfect.

Looks good! What blocks did you use and how much lift are they?

Motofab. They're 3" total blocks so it gives the truck 2" of lift when you replace the factory 1" block.

I went on a spending spree again and have a new set of LTZ head lights and an FX-R retrofit kit from fastheadlights coming! Now I have to explain to the gf why I have 3 sets of head lights for the truck.

Dropped her off at the dealer. Ever since I dropped the gas tank to install the new bds lift springs I can't fill it up without fuel running up the vent hose. Let the experts figure it out. They put me in a brand new 2017 Silverado WT single cab long bed, I made it cross 1k miles while driving home. Suspension feels much more refined than mine did from the factory, may just be the 17" wheels though. Nice little truck honestly, I could do a lot more with an 8 foot bed [emoji23][emoji23]

 

I took the loaner to the LGS after dropping my truck off to grab my 3 AR-15 lowers, one AR-9 lower and my Springfield XDS 9mm I had ordered from Palmetto State Armory last week

Tell her it's to see better at night. Safety first! 6 headlights are better than 2 :lol:

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.
