So, I've been debating whether I wanted to do the rear bumper step light mod or not. I don't need the additional light for backing up, (I have 2" RC Pods for that purpose) but thought it might be nice for illuminating the step should I need to get into the bed at night. I ended up going ahead and installing 3/4" LED white pods that I tied into the reverse circuit. I did the cargo light / reverse light diode mod a while back, so whenever the cargo lights or reverse lights are on, the step lights will come on. Also added 3/4" LED red outer marker lights and tied them into parking lights.

That looks awesome. I have been going back and forth about types of lights/light pods to go with. I came to the conclusion that I want to go this route as it looks cleaner and doesn’t get in the way of anything. I didn’t think of using red to match the marker lights. I do have a tailgate light bar with reverse lights but still want to do the step lights. Which lights did you use? I found a few different sets of them on Amazon that I just haven’t pulled the trigger on. Again it looks great and thanks in advance.

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.

Hardwired my dash camera and radar detector last night.  No more pesky wires dangling in my field of view and no more having to remember to plug in and unplug the darn camera!

Thanks TX LIMO, I'm very happy with the way it turned out. I purchased the LED's from Amazon. Below is a snip of the exact ones I purchased. Thanks again for the compliment.

Finally got around to adding some footwell lighting. Added some white to come on with the dome lights and some red for some accent lighting while driving and hooked both up to a dinner switch so I could control how bright I want them bdeb9fc23a266170fb7190f6bcf7ef62.jpg77d20272e0644a6e35276c9af84b9304.jpg

Does anyone know what the clip goes to? It was in my dashboard by the light switch. I added what my panel has. I’m guessing either trailer brake controls since my 4wd lever in on the floor. I’m hoping it’s brake control so I can buy a new panel and not install an aftermarket one and drill that in.

 

Edit: forgot to add that the white clip has this written on it. (If it helps)

I wonder if it's for the 4 wheel drive selector switch that's there on LT, LTZ, and HC. Your truck has the shifter on the floor.

Yeah that was my second guess but since its on the floor i didn't think they'd run the wires since i doubt its simple to get rid of the lever set up

Just so you know at this time you can’t add the factory integrated trailer brake controller. It is not plug ang play several have tried none have succeeded... yet...

 

This thread hase several different controller options other than the standard knee banger set up.

Not a huge thing, but vinyl wrapped the front/rear bowties. My white ‘17 Z71 had the black bow tie package and was one of the few things I enjoyed about that truck, so I figured I’d recreate it but refused to buy actual bow ties.

I'd go completely insane driving anywhere, following anything for 5 hours at 55-65mph! ?

I've done something similar for my son's high school marching band once but nowhere near 5 hours. It was just a short trip, maybe an hour at most and it drove me nuts! I was a good lane blocker when it came to lane changes for the buses though... LOL

They use the same harness for all the models to cut cost it just isn’t hooked up to the reader same with trucks without the trailer braking

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
