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.

      Cam chain tensioner question

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      So I'm in the middle of a DOD AFM delete on my 6.2 L86 Sierra. I had a pick holding the tensioner but after I got the Cam phaser gear off I was cleaning off all the rtv and apparently I didn't have the pick seated far enough in. I bumped it and the tensioner sprang forward.  I think everything is good but I want a second opinion. The top of the tensioner is just a looped piece of plastic that rides in that channel right? There is no spring or anything is there? I got the gear and chain back on and it seems tight and everything looks right. I'm hoping nothing fell out.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      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.
