Just completed this with ease thanks to spurshot's instructions. I went the 10 to 18 route (on w/highs) since I don't want them on at all times. I'm fine with just my LED DRL's.

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've been wondering would it be possible to have the lights underneath the side mirrors turn on when you press the cargo lights button? By this you can turn on the side mirror lights with the cargo lights. And with the previous mod the reverse would turn the cargo and the cargo would turn on the side mirror lights as well. Would anyone know how?

So you are looking to have the cargo lights come on whenever the reverse lights are on? Or whenever the puddle lights are on? (I just noticed that you talked about turning the cargos on when in reverse earlier in this thread)

 

Either way, a better topic to post this question in would be this thread.

Its for doing what I think you are describing as being the cargos on with reverse lights

Check post #64 of the cargo lights on w/ reverse thread. Morris Lee did it where the cargos come on with the puddle lights just like you want. [emoji106]

Did this mod and the 9011s. Wait and see about the TSB. Also mounted LEDs with ACI license plate mount with a remote switch. Led fogs helped also. I can light up the night.

I just read all the posts regarding this topic... some fantastic information on the diode mod. Will get after this mod as soon as the temps rise above freezing. A quick question, close to this thread, I just purchased LED fog replacement lamps off Amazon 18w Cree Genssi. (H-16-80w-w) It looks easy to remove OEM and drop these in their place. I'm concerned with the computer thinking a lamp is out, due to lower voltage draw. I guess I will find out when I get them installed, but "if" this does happen, how do I fool the computer??

Will also have to wait to hear if this causes static on the radio...? The Denali is almost 3 months old and from day 1 I've seen condensation in the headlights, so as soon as the dealer sees them and hopefully replaces them, I will be back here to get advise on upgrading the headlights. HID? LED? xenon? just not sure what is the best/brightest way to go. 3 things I have always been concerned with... good rubber (tires & wipers), good lights and good brakes... these things keep you on the road. Cost is not a compromise for me on these 3) issues... I would prefer a plug/play option, but would like to hear from the GM truck experts...

thanks

Plug and play x 2 no problems so far. Not a lot brighter but very different look.used 5202 with dielectric grease. LEDs draw less amps.

I have the putco LEDs for fogs and other than not snapping in all the way...no issues.

I know other brand trucks that inform driver when a light is out (or almost out) an led will create issues due to resistance.

Well I just tried this mod and the cargo lights with reverse lights on and when I completed both mods one of my rigid industries reverse flush mount lights went out and will not go back on even if I take out the diodes. If anyone knows why one of the lights is out please let me know.

Can someone point me in the right direction to do the low beams on with high beams on a 2015 Silverado 1500?

 

I've been looking at this thread for the last week and I'm totally lost on where to start. The underhood fuse panel

doesn't show any headlight relays on the lid diagram. Where to I have to go to install the diode?

 

The cargo with reverse lights described in the other thread has pics of a connector bundle under the drivers side

dash.

      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.
