Just backtracking a bit, but if you use my original pin locations for the diode jumper, you can tap the fog circuit to a relay to switch on and off light bars, driving lights, or other off road lights, without having to pull wire thru the firewall or add switches. Easy peasy

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

Tried again today and filed down the edges of the diode and it slid in like butter.

 

I just wish the fogs came on during the day super bright like the drl leds in the headlight

Looking for anyone selling diodes. I want to go the 10 to 18 route so my fogs come on with my low beams.

I'm not going to lie, I read through about 10 pages and am thoroughly confused. Electronics and diodes and stuff aren't really my thing. How the hell do I do this and what diode are people using? Being that it's getting to be deer season (saw 6 on my way home from coaching football tonight) I'm going to need to get this done ASAP. Thanks guys.

Anyone in Atlanta, GA area that can help me install? I've already broke 5 diodes trying this. Yall make it sound easier than what it really is.

Wiring a switch in series with the diode would allow one the ability to reverse and enable this mod on command. That's my plan for tomorrow on my newly purchased '15.

 

Edit: Decided to get this done tonight. Had the usual trouble getting the pin of the diode in the connector. So, I changed it up a bit, using two stick pins with ball heads. These slide right in without trouble at all, making removal and reinstallation a breeze. At the other end of the wire is a simple switch so I can turn this mod on and off as needed.

I used the smallest jeweler's screwdriver to manipulate the post on in the hole away from one corner, so I could push the diode in.

Got my diode in yesterday. I’ll be doing the mod tomorrow. Then I’ll be doing my LEDs in the headlights and fogs. Just need to figure out which bulbs to go with. Haha

Apparently I suck at this.  Fog lights didn't come on unless switched on and turned off with brights. I also need a new diode. I bent the hell out of mine pushing it in.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.

      So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized.

      4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.

      All this might be worth it had we actually recovered enriched uranium, a WMD, or an actual nuclear deal with oversight. This is a flub of epic proportion, and they all know it.   $5.10 at a station reporting $4.99 last week. Here we go....
