I have the receipt dated July 22, 2014 and diodes sitting right in front of me. Haven't even broke them out of the package yet. How sad is that?

 

I was waiting for the headlight update, and it is much better driving at night now. Now I can't decide which way I want to go with it, so I am at a stalemate, or impass, or procrastination, or something like that?

 

I may get around to it someday?

 

Buy a set of Rigid lights to go in the fog light position. That'll get you going on the diode mod. :dunno:

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

Thanks Op I did 10-22. Took me 15 min.

 

 

So, with the 10-22 jumper, can you shut the foglights off if you want?

No. They are on at night and if I press the button the dash indicator lights up but the fogs are already on. If I press it again nothing changes. If I am driving in the day I can turn them on manually.

I did the 10-22 mod. It works intended, but I would really prefer to have the fogs come on ONLY when the low and high beams are on. I would like to have my parking lights on without the fogs coming on. Is this possible?

I just did this mod tonight with the diode connected to the 10 & 22 pins. Took all of 2 minutes and works great. Thanks for posting!

The 10-18 jump will cause the fogs to come on when high beams are commanded. When headlights are off or when low beams are on, the fogs can be manually turned on with the 10-18 jump.

Thanks for the reply.

 

On my 2005 Duramax I had it set up so the fogs automatically came on with the lows and stayed on with the highs. I also had the DRL on with lows and highs. I don't care about the DRLs, but I would love a way to automatically turn on the fogs with the lows, but not with the parking lights. I just like the look of the truck with the fogs on but I dislike that the fogs come on and stay on when I remote start the truck.

The only issue I have with 10-22 is not being able to shut them off when I want.

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
