Hey guys just a quick question. I just bought a 2014 sierra sle. It didnt come with fog lights but it has the covers in the bumper for them. My question is, are they pre wired for fog lights both behind the switch in the truck and somewhere near the bumper where they would be installed.

 

Thank you for any replies

After looking at the GM Accessories available for your truck it appears that they do not have a retrofit kit for the fog lights on the 2014 Sierra 1500.

 

What I have found with GM is that if there is a way to make a retrofit kit for some option, they will make it. I bought the kit they had for my truck (2010 Sierra 1500) back in 2010, and it came with a new headlight switch, both fog lights, and a wiring harness that connected it all together with ease. The stock wiring harness came wired for fog lights that started at headlight switch, and continued to front fuse panel under the hood. Essentially "roughed in".

 

I think the 2014 model likely does not follow that design. Is the fog/driving light switch built into the headlight switch in 2014 model? I think you will find retrofitting will not be easy like it used to be. You may want to wait a few more months to see if they will create a retro fit kit.

Hello,

New to this web site. However, I have the same problem. 2014 GMC Sierra SLE, V8 4X4 W/O fog lights. It has the fog lamps switch on the dash board lighting control. The bumper has the square plastic inserts for the for lamp bezels. I cannot find any thing on the web to get the lights installed with an OEM look...or anything else for that matter. Any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated.

 

Keep on Truckin

The best (and one of two) I have found is GMPartsDirect.com, item 19170447 Lamp Package for 283.50. Seems to include everything. If anyone gets this Lamp Pkg. please let me know what you think.

That is the kit for the 07-13 GMC Sierra truck. Have you verified the wiring is the same, and headlight switch as well? GM does not show a kit being available for post 2013 model year.

 

Near as I recall, the foglight assembly just pushes into the opening and uses clips to hold the assembly in place. To work in the 2014 and newer, it would be required to have the same mounting system for the lamps.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      Lake Speed is drumming up business for his company just by being in the spot-light so he has a vested interest in stoking the 0W-20 fire.  IMO

      I knew when I bought my truck that it had off road hill decent or craw control or whatever they call it and rolled my eyes at that but it gets throw on with other options my truck has, I just never had a heads up if the highway speed regular cruise setting had anything to do with the brakes and that took me by surprise. If you've ever been to the top of Pikes Peak and watched those ahead of you on the way down with their brake lights on constantly, one can guess they are probably not gearing down or not enough anyway if their vehicle will allow and a good reason their is a brake check spot part way down where they use an infra red heat gun to check how hot ones brakes are front and rear.    Your right that once one gets out of the front range by Denver and I've not been on that stretch of 285 between Denver and Fairplay myself but I know its high and Fairplay at 10000 feet, Buena Vista at 8000, it drops a bit from there but then your going back up and over the 11000 pass and Durango is at 6500 . So yes your definitely right that 6500 and a lot higher is the theme of going anywhere out in that direction from Denver but hey, the down hill sections give fantastic fuel mileage !.    I don't even look at the fuel pumps for what premium costs here, since I live on a farm and up to this point get fuel delivered I am rarely in front of a fuel pump and when I am, I am often using card lock bulk fuel stations so it tells me what the price is AFTER I buy the fuel. Looking up on gas buddy and converting to US gallons but in Canadian dollars, regular on average of the prices listed was around 5.95 and premium is around 7.00 . That was one reason I did not go for the 6.2 half ton aside from its lack of carrying/towing if one was going by the rule of using premium fuel and until recently one could only buy regular farm gas if playing the few cents off game for farm dyed fuel for a "farm licensed pickup". But yes I hear you on the fuel price difference and like the diesel theme with it often being more expensive then gas it doesn't have quite the charm to it either as it once did although right now here for some reason the price of diesel has come down more so its now inline with the price of regular gas.

      I agree with this assessment. As you know I’m testing longevity with vehicles for the first time. I have a few vehicles I passed to kids and grandkids. We’re all past 100K miles some approaching 170K. I’m the only one doing 5k oil changes. The rest whatever the minder says. I’m the only one doing frequent transmission service. My odyssey the trip vehicle at 200K will be finished as a trip vehicle. I recently changed to high mileage oil, Valvoline. I can’t get past the fact that all manufacturers want to claim long service life. I just don’t make sense that they would go with low weight oil for mileage. While sacrificing longevity.

      There's absolutely a mountain of profit in catering to the "I do my own research" crowd, people who are certain they know better. And I don't mean there isn't data to support that 0w40 produces less wear product than 0w20 in an engine like the 3.0 Duramax, that only feeds them the assurance they need. Again, my whole thing with oil selection is, sure, 0w40 or 0w30 produces less wear product. Are we talking the difference between the engine lasting only 100k versus 200k? Or are we talking more like, if the engine will already go 350k on a good 0w20 regimen recommended by the OE, is using 0w40 going to get us to 355k, assuming we can even get the rest of the truck to last that long, meanwhile sacrificing the first 5y, 100k in powertrain warranty. The answer isn't easy, there are tradeoffs.   I willfully use 0w20 Dexos D for this reason, knowing that a 0w40 will produce slightly less wear. I don't believe the delta in wear product is meaningful over the lifetime of the engine, and I place much more importance on driving style and overall feeding and care of the engine as a whole. It's the mentality that someone can abstain from alcohol their whole life which is an amazing boost to health by itself, theoretically. But if they're sedentary, that lifestyle choice will most likely kill them young despite their other, concerted efforts. Maybe someone doesn't drink AND they are the perfect picture of health and activity AND they use 0w40 AND they treat their engine perfectly. If living until 130 years is the goal, sure, do that. But it's going to be a really old truck falling apart around a good engine for that last 30 years, without a doubt.   I watched Demonworks' other video on the 100k+ 3.0 Duramax that had dealer 0w20 changes on what appears to be OLM-prescribed intervals (8-10k).   The QR codes are still present and readable on the main bearings. That's how little wear it has.   That's not proof that anyone else should stick to 0w20, but it's confirmation, for me, that 0w20 is perfectly acceptable to use in these engines.

      Castrol Edge VS Amsoil OE

      1Based on independent testing of OE 0W-20 in the Peugeot TU3M Wear Test as required by the dexos1 Gen 2 specification.
