This was on the Duramax forum. I believe it is for a GMT 900. But the principles are likely applicable to a K2. Use this information cautiously. ------------------------------------------------------

OK, After struggling thru the schematics and online mods of past models all evening, I figured it out. This is for a Sierra and should be the same for the Silverado. It involves pushing one Diode in

I'm not planning on sending out 100 one at a time...

 

I'm going to send ~20 of them to four different people then post who I sent them to. If they want to keep all 20 for themselves I'm not stopping them. However the hope is that they would just take out a few then send the rest to others.

 

I'm out like $5 if the first four are all selfish, I've got far more value than that out of the forums though. If it works though maybe 30 people get diodes for the cost of a stamp and envelope.

Just yankin your chain. The ole "buy more, save more" argument is something I often use with my wife. I'm guilty. Edited by spurshot

Sending them around like your talking is a awsome idea.

Diodes came in, broke a lead on the first one getting it into the connector, the second one I figured out if you wiggle the wire while pushing down on the lead it'll go a bit easier.

 

Works just fine for me, turning on highs gets you fogs at the same time.

worked fine on my Silverado. Although I'd like to do a more secure way of mounting one day. Roads get a little rough around here.

 

I'd wait and see if it ever falls out. If it does maybe just a tiny drop of hot glue on each end to affix it to the wires. It would still be easily removable but shouldn't go anywhere.

 

On another note all the free diodes are now released into the wild!

If it's not secure in there, you didn't push it in far/hard enough. It should be very tight. No way it should fall out. Don't goober up your wiring with hot glue.

ya im pretty sure i wont be using any hot glue lol. it could be in good enough. just hard to tell with how weak the leads are. i was more thinking of maybe using some .032 safety wire to attach the leads to.

      Well one of our most reliable vehicles was sold yesterday. The first and only I gave for free to a grandkid. If they got skin in the game they take care of it. My wife bought new. Five years later my daughter got it to use. We got it back and gave it to our grandson after graduation. He did zero maintenance just oil changes. When the AC quit he drove his mother’s car rather than get it fixed. Instead he just bought a beater and sold the Elantra.

      I usually do as well or better than the sticker for mileage. Usually better going west than east. North then South. Wind makes a difference. I’m not usually a conspiracy theorist. But it did dawn on me I’m going by the vehicle calculation. Now that would be interesting.

      What’s missing in all this is patience and investment in the future. Buy a 170K starter home. Ten years later sell it invest in a more expensive home. Eventually you’ll have a 600K home and pay starter home payments. Buy a starter car. Maintain it well. Save the payments after it’s payed for then buy an expensive car if you desire. Buy a tumbler make your own coffee, pack your lunch. Cook your own dinner. Most importantly take care of your car.

      People mislead themselves. Statistics are highly useful indicators.   Here's the tie-in to this thread. If an oil sample tests shows a wear indicator of 7 using cheaper ACDelco oil, and a wear indicator of 2 (lower = less wear) using a particular brand of Mobil oil, and wear has a linear relationship with engine lifespan, anyone could assume that Mobil is reducing wear by more than 50% (let's just say a 200% reduction for you red state people trying hard to do math) which leads to increasing engine life by 2x. Perhaps, in a vacuum, by itself, when dreamed by AI.   Yeah?! That's what the statistic is saying, isn't it?   No, it isn't. It didn't come out and say engine life is doubled. That's a very bad assumption, and a case of severe myopia by assuming something potentially untrue about the only data point in focus.   Average cost of a new car is 50k. You bet it is.   The median cost of a new car is more like 35k. Expensive cars are skewing the perception that "average" now means a $50k price of entry for a very average automobile. And that's not true. People who don't understand statistics twist the living heck out of them to mean all sorts of things they don't actually mean.   "Average" new car payment is $1000/month. Yep, it is. And in that number are all the $35k new car buyers who bring significant equity, and the $25k new car buyers who finance the car for a month just to get a rebate, and then pay it off. Know what isn't in that number? All the payments made by people who don't finance a car.   Picking one's own data point (don't have a car payment, never paid $50k for a new vehicle, my house cost $170k, I afforded a middle class lifestyle on $4.50/hr) is just a data point. Just like earning $25/hr in an area where the median home price is almost $1 Million is a data point. In fact, it's a lot of data points given that 80% of the US population lives in/around major cities. They're not idiots; the vast majority of them do it to make a living because that's where the big money is.   The highs have become higher, lows have become lower, and how your personal mileage varies is not truth for an entire country. At the same time you can't NOT acknowledge the data. While it doesn't paint YOUR personal picture, it certainly tints the reality that you also live in, as does your single data point.
