[Apologies if this is a dumb/uninformed question - I don't have my Sierra yet...]

 

In Mike's original post, it looks like the top and bottom "row" of the DRL are lighting up to the same intensity. Is that a separate mod? I thought I had read elsewhere in this forum that the top and bottom rows don't light up to the same intensity (or even that they don't both light up all the time). Rather than go back and re-research the entire topic, can anybody provide an overview?

 

I'll be getting an SLT or Denali.

 

Much appreciated. Thanks.

Not a dumb question, the LED strips run like this:

Day: (only when in gear)

Bottoms only, full intensity

Night:

Both strips, 50%-75% intensity (not sure but I would have to guess they are somewhere in that range. Hard to tell when comparing them during the day to during night.

 

Since those pictures were taken at night, all 4 strips we're illuminated and at the same intensity so your eyes don't deceive you [emoji106]

surely that isn't the stock Anzo?

It is, just plasti dip trim, HIDs, and the amber mod.

Finally got around to doing this by using hutch08's method. Simple mod, took me about 20 minutes. No need to remove headlights, just the airbox to get to the passenger bulb. I used a dremel to grind of the lower tab of the bulb, after this just plug them in and ur done.

 

I used 7440 bulbs and kept the originals in the glove compartment just in case I ever need them.

7440's fitment is good or did it take some modding to get them to fit?

Any way to make both LED strips light up at 100% intensity?

      Injector update

      By iso221 · Posted

      Because single shot injectors are ancient and multi hole injectors provide smoother running engines and sharper throttle response due to the fuel being atomized better..the best lead I have is a 24lb blue top injector almost everything matches up but the injector will put out about 26lb/hr which is just outside the gm threshold.figured id ask here to see if there was an absolute answer

      Injector update

      By CamGTP · Posted

      Why is my question?   Any change in injectors requires a tune. Unless you are going back with the OEM part number or a newer part number of that same injector.   Any size difference or type difference like the EV6 style injectors all have different injector data for them. And there is no EV6 injector that matches the factory 25 lb/hr size that your truck comes with. I've been messing with these trucks and tuning them for a long time and what you trying to do doesn't exactly make sense to me.

      When a condition becomes a business model.    https://www.gm-trucks.com/gm-truck-suv-incentives-pricing-2026/   Zane posted this in "Latest Articles".    The honest bottom line   Truck buyers have spent three years assuming this is a temporary condition that will break once inventories normalize. GM just presented it to investors as a durable strategy, on a chart, as evidence of good management.   Inventory did normalize. GM is at 511,000 units and squarely inside its own 50 to 60 day target. The discounts still did not come back, because the low incentive number is the goal rather than a symptom of shortage.   Plan your purchase around that reality instead of waiting for it to change. Follow our ongoing GM News coverage for pricing and incentive changes as the next-generation trucks land.

      Winter Returned

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Thought it was raining this morning when we woke. Nope. Dew point was over 80 F and humidity 98%. Zero visibility distance. Everything was 'sweating'. I've seen rain come out of clouds but never out of Pepper or the tree trunks.    Wicked storms just missed us sliding off to the east but by blocks. Heat index about 110 F with air temp in the 90's.    This is  our third wave this month of multiple days of this type of weather. And yet the grass is going dormant and the ground is cracking this side of the street and water up the the hood opposite. Just weird stuff going on.
