I sent a message to spurshot about this. He said there are no electrical schematics available yet on GM Upfitter for 2015 or 2016 trucks. Since the headlights are so good on the 2016 trucks, I am going to wait for a while to see if someone finds a way to do it. I have found the Intellibeam works just short of perfectly. Really nice feature. Hope GM keeps it.

Yes. That was the first mod I did on my 2013 Sierra. Using a diode to jump #10 to #22. Come on Mod Guys. How do we keep our fog lights on with using Intellibeam?

Mine work great on rural roads . I just leave it in auto and it does a great job. In town it sometimes gets confused with all the lights or it may brightlight a car pulling out from a side road. The auto feature is easily turned on or off..

If you have the Intellibeam option, and it's enabled, they will dim when sensing nearby traffic.

 

If you have the fogs on, they will always stay on low beam, even if intellibeam would otherwise be turning on the high's.  

If you have fogs on, intellibeam treats this as an instruction to leave highs off.  

 

RPO is TQ5    Headlight, IntelliBeam, automatic high beam on/off
for 16/17/18 - Included and only available with (Y86) Enhanced Driver Alert Package. 

 

(for 2019's it is  - Included and only available with (PDJ) Driver Alert Package II.)

Hi! I just purchased a 2014 GM sierra crew cab, and I’m just wondering if just some of them have the intellebeam feature? I drive for a living in the north, and the 2024 suburban I use have them and I just love them, but I can’t seem to find them on my truck? It says it does have auto headlights, but I’m thinking this may not be the same thing, although this is the term some descriptions use for this feature. 
I’ve tried flicking the lever bnf twice within 2 secs while on auto, and looking for a button and nothing. I’m thinking using a flashlight to see if there is an a symbol on my dashboard, but thought I would ask just the same. 
Also, does anyone know if this option can be installed on your vehicle?

Thanks so much for any help you may be able to give me! Cheers!

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
