Can you show a pic of where you mounted the led light strips under the dash on both sides?

For the driver's side, I couldn't find a flat surface to mount the strip on, so I wrapped it around the A/C vent which gave it plenty of brightness. For the passenger side it stuck perfectly to the plastic cover below the glove box by the feet. You can only see the strip if you put your head down by the floor mat.

i'm looking to do the led floor lighting. .but i want like a single style led .. instead of the strips.... dont get me wrong.. you did an awesome job!

 

quick question..... do you daisy chain the wires?... then go to the dome light?.. meaning.. each led strip has a black and red... .can you tie them all together then vampire tap to the grey dome wire?

 

something like these..  https://www.amazon.com/LEDMIRCY-Rock-Green-Kit-Waterproof/dp/B01MECII60/ref=lp_15736411_1_21?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1523389825&sr=1-21

 

not green.. possibly red..or white.

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.

With the help of pgamboa’s thread about tow mirror upgrade I swapped the manual tow mirror for the power fold. And swapped out the amber running lamps for the smoked colored lenses.

 

I was one of the lucky few that all I had to do was change out the door switch and swap the mirrors since my truck came with the manual fold tow mirrors from the factory.

Where did you get those smoked lenses? Are they OEM or do they fit OEM?

 

I also swapped with pgamboa's wiring and couldn't be happier.

Boost Auto has them. They fit right in, newer model mirrors have different connectors so I had to get the pig tail wiring as well and do some soldering.

I looked at them. I considered buying. Good to know they have a good fit.

    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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.
