I was thinking of buying a pair and color matching them, not sure if it would be noticeable since my truck is Tungsten Metallic. Was wondering how much those cargo lights put out since they cant reflect to much off the flat black.

I had LED bulbs in my OEM housing and switched the light to this and this puts more light out than my stock, might’ve been the bulbs I was using before but definitely notice a difference for sure

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.

Found an hour of free time yesterday and installed GM - Illuminated Door Sills. Love the way they look! Of course, made a how to video. The box didn't come with instructions and tried searching he

Just installed a new third brake light on my 2017 Sierra 1500 6E315A71-2390-4452-AF84-57928C317B49.thumb.jpeg.3e3d4012769c9ef11d582be902222708.jpeg2B0A0D53-7870-45A1-8AE3-C5DEDB325B34.thumb.jpeg.179d0778ca36fa32a9d0741b01c3d7c7.jpeg

 

Make sure you get a good seal. I got the same style but with smoked lens, and I had a feeling the gasket was a bit thin. Turns out I was right, washed the truck and went to get my rags from under the seat and noticed seat was wet. "I didn't leave any windows down??" And saw the top was wet and the rear window, and finally the headliner. JOY. 

 

Took it off and I saw where the plastic was rubbing on the paint. Ended up taking the beefier seal that was on the stock 3rd light and slapped it on. But being genital with tightening it down, I found out the plastic (on mine) is a bit weak and snapped right under the screw. 

Love my light though!!

Just quoting because I laughed at the autocorrect. 


I used windex then thinned isopropyl alcohol when I installed my 3rd so the new seal would get a good stick.

Yup I just took mine off today cause it cracked on the right side where the screw goes so I’m applying clear epoxy/glue to seal the small crack up cause it’s seeping in water  , let the inside dry out, reseal all around the edges and put it back on tomorrow, this Canadian winter will put it to the test see how long it lasts

I saw that too and laughed at the autocorrect. My iPhone used to autocorrect "Lardass" to "Kardashian." That was a great one!

Gotta get a good seal when you're working with a genital =)...OK, so I stretched the OP a bit.

 

On a more serious note, the 3rd brake light, XM/onstar shark fin, and seal around the windshield seem to be giving quite a few people some leak problems. I'm about to seal the shark fin with silicone or something just around the outside and the small hole in the back. Does anyone know if that's a bad idea for some odd reason? Is the small hole there for a reason?

Goes to show, proof read. Lol!

So it happened to you. Burley guys got to watch out.

I don't see anything wrong. Aside from my spelling blunder lol. I used silicone over the screws on my 3rd light.

Installed the Husky Splash Guards. Very easy instal. Opted to drill the optional hold on the rears rather than the tape and spring clip. Look great.

Used it as a truck today. Went out hunting with my uncle. He got a small doe. And that’s a case and a half of Point beer behind it. b20c5f0f85afc11a6b36b734ba55ebb3.jpg

Decided to color match the grille shroud just to see how I like it. Plasti dipped it first then used some dupli-color perfect match on top of that. Now I can just peel it off if I feel like it but I like it so I’m goin to have it professionally painted eventually.

Finally made a decision on which off-road bumper to go with a few weeks ago during a huge sale from Road Armor and decided to go with their brand new Sahara model with winch plate. I think my favorite part of this bumper is that they rate it for 12K lb winches for our trucks and declare the shackle mounts as tow points. Only company I've talked to that actually declares that shackle mounts as useful tow points. Couldn't be happier with the outcome. I'll post better pictures soon. Hopefully will be able to order a 12.5K Tuff Stuff winch soon if they ever come back in stock

Picked these parts up from the painter. Can’t wait to finally finish this upgrade. Headlights will be installed this weekend. Grille in about a month.

      2021 suburban RST - acting up/lights flickering

      By 520Zilla · Posted

      Hi all,   I just bought a 2021 suburban RST with 88,000 miles on it and everything has been good but I’ve been noticing within the last month or so that there are small electrical things going on and I know what the AGM batteries and all the electric electrical in these big trucks you need to have a constant flow with good voltage   That being said, I bought a new battery thinking that that might have something to do with it but today I went to get in and start it and it said no key found when I had the key right in my pocket   It also proceeded to flash the lights inside and outside for over 30 minutes as I went to disconnect the battery as soon as I touch the negative terminal, I heard the relay reset and everything come back up. I got in the truck and started it no problem.   Anyone else have this happen to them? I’m starting to think it’s the KARR system that the dealer installed short circuit stuff.

      “Service Emission System” & “175 miles until “65 MPH Max Speed”

      By ManyCamaroz · Posted

      I don't drive this truck on a regular basis since I have a new company truck with no out of pocket fuel or maintenance cost. Yesterday I got it out to run some errands and got the title message on my DCI. A quick Google search suggested to first clean the Map Sensor. I pulled it out and it was sooty so cleaned it up and reinstalled it. Issue not resolved. My OBDII is a couple years old so didn't see any codes. Today I took it to a friend at AutoZone to get him to check it with his reader. It had the following codes: P20C3 P02BB P221F Stating the most likely solution is to replace diesel emission fluid (DEF) tank assembly.   So, I guess a trip to the dealer is necessary. I read where there was a backorder on these tank assemblies several years ago so hope that has been resolved.

      Do you keep your tires at full capacity? 80psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Are you using a weight distribution hitch system with your trailer as that alone can change the actual tire pressure requirements needed. It would prove interesting to see what the actual individual axle weights are on your truck when you are hooked up to the trailer. In fact when your hooked to the trailer, typically if anything unless it has a large capacity weight distribution system that is over cranked, often the weight on the front axle will be less when hooked up vs driving empty and certainly if one doesn't have a weight distribution hitch. Really the only times one may get up there with weight on the steer axle is if there was a snow plow mounted on the front or a motorcycle on a rack or with a very large jockey tank full of fuel at the front of the box that transfers a bit of its weight to the front axle.    And of course your tires carry more weight for a given tire pressure due to their size vs a stock sized tire so there is that to take into the equation as well.

      Great info here thank you. I just joined, we have a 2014 Silverado truck we bought about 4 years ago with less than 5,000 miles on it. It has approximately 24,000 on it now. It appears to have all the standard issues that people are talking about. Occasional charging problems especially using 110 volt, occasional blinking triangle where nothing will turn on when first starting the truck but it will reset itself if you wait 10 to 15 minutes. Noisy coupler between the flywheel and the generator. Our truck is speed limited to 74 mph, is there any way to change that? The latest issue we have been dealing with is when driving long distance on the highway at full speed the generator does not keep the batteries charged. The meter will go into the yellow/red border Zone for charge status and the yellow triangle will illuminate solid but the generator will not keep the battery charged, not sure why the controller doesn't tell the gas engine to increase RPM to increase generator output it usually stays well below 25 kilowatts even though the battery is discharging and I have to slow down the highway to 45 mph and eventually pull over and let the truck idle to charge the battery so I can continue driving at speed. Has anyone had this issue before or have any idea how to diagnosed it? When via Motors was around it they were very helpful at troubleshooting. This becomes much if the Terrain is hilly and you're towing a small trailer

      Tonneau cover that does not leak water

      By Z45 · Posted

      I have the GMC accessory (REV) cover installed by dealer. Ordered with the truck.  They did a very good install job, can't find a single issue. Some water gets in around the tailgate but no where else.  You can see daylight around the tailgate but that's not the covers fault.  Installation is means everything. Guys at my dealer were seasoned pros, not inexperienced here today good tomorrow types, like many dealers employ for these jobs.   I don't mind paying for a professional job.
