Will the cargo Lamps and upper light also go on when u unlock the truck as well with this mod?  Also What mod is the one u got in the gray one?

 

Thanks

At night, when you unlock your truck, your reverse light comes on. So if you perform the cargo/reverse light mod, the cargo lights, bed lights (if equipped), and tow mirror spot lights (if equipped) will come on anytime your reverse lights are on. This includes key fob unlock at night.

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 hate diodes lol. 25min i played with them today to get them in. impossible :lol:

I used the smallest jewelers crosstie/awl to forge a path next to the pin to push the lead into.  My first one was just as rough, when I did this to my 15.  I ran them nearest corners to each pin, pushing leads all the way in.

Saw someone in a 2018 (same as me) today that had his fogs on with just his DRL at dusk.  Looked pretty cool, what is the option for this?  I've been reading through this thread, but haven't come across it yet?  Or more likely I'm just blind and/or dumb lol

There is a thread for Fogs as DRLs, but I'm sure that he/she took a diode and jumped it between Fogs (stripe to BRN-22) and DRL (BRN-7).  Keep in mind, you may/will not have control of your FOGs after this, may/will not be able to turn them off without removing the diode.

I've given up lol. If i never have to touch another diode I'll be happy. sigh

I almost gave up when I first tried it.  @pgamboa gave me some encouragement, I went out the next day a K.O.d it out.  If you lived in my "neck of the woods," I'd do it for you, would only cost you an ice cold 20oz Mountain Dew.

appreciate the offer. tell me, do you find it easier to leave it plugged in or take it out and put them in?

I've never removed mine.  Even after the accident in July, they're still in the BCM.  I had to go buy new ones for my new truck, putting them in this afternoon, after work and running a couple "quick" errands.  I used my smallest jeweler's phillips screwdriver to make a little room along the pin (in the corner closest to the other pin), pushed the stripe end in first, then did the same with the other pin.  Don't remember how deep the slots are, I didn't trim any of the leads on my last truck, you'll need the length if you do the cargo lights & reverse lights mod.

You sure just the parking lights weren't on? I usually just push the fog light button and the parking lights come on, which also turns the taillights on but I don't mind.

I just took a look at the BCM connector on my 2019 and the wire color coding is different and more slots are occupied!  Will have to wait for a 2019 BCM wiring diagram before attempting this mod.

Somewhere in the first dozen or so pages of this thread, is the link to download the eBooklet(s) for these trucks.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
