No I called them and the 7-13 new body style lights are the same and harness is the same as the new 14-16. It's a very nice kit cost 115$ can't beat that my opinion.

I assume since my truck has provisions for the cab lights I don't need the wiring harness? Anyone have this experience?

The roof light provision (included w/ VYU plow prep) is for a single light, not the U01 clearance lights. I guess you could source the power to that circuit which is switched.

I have those too, they are super bright. I went LED and I spliced into the park lights up at the light, never had a problem.

I can't believe they all don't come with cab lights. It was one of my requirments when buying mine. Too bad I missed out on the foglights though

I've ordered them on all my trucks since my '94 K1500. I doubt you'd see them standard as some people wouldn't want them just like some owners don't want ANY chrome on their trucks.

How hard are they to install? Very cautious about drilling holes in roof panel and leaking later. Do you need the Harness? I have a 2017 2500hd and says I do on recons sight. Pricing has gone up 169.90 for lights and harness. Any pics during install would be nice also

I have the cab lights from factory and wouldn't want to install them after purchase.  I also like the chrome bumpers- they are more durable than paint at least to chipping.  But some of us just don't know what a good looking truck is :)

      Some trailer plugs don't work. This one worked for me. Been using it for two years no issues. Amazon.com: Reese Trailer Plug Adapter, 7-Way Male Plug to 7-Way Female Plug, LED Lamp Out By-Pass, Plastic, Black, Each : Automotive

      Transmission temperature 10speed with 3.0 LZO Duramax

      I traced the atf cooling system in my 1500 and it comes out of the transmission, into the bar/plate liquid/liquid heat exchanger, as stated above.  Then it crosses over to the external thermostat/bypass and then  to the aux cooler in front of the main radiator.  Hence, on this routing, the PPE thermostat bypass eliminator is an $85 piece of bling that does nothing for reducing atf temps on this truck.  I think I'll temporarily clamp a needle nose vise grip on the coolant feed hose to the bar/plate cooler and see how much the atf temp drops.  With the use of ULV trans fluid, I'm not convinced running the trans cooler than OEM spec is going to be detrimental to the life of the transmission.    I found this interesting on the Dana/Long site stating that they make transmission cooling/heating bar plate heat exchangers.  I worked with Dana/Long on a few projects when I was at the gas powered fun factory. https://www.dana.co.jp/downloads/PTG/Long/Dana_TOC_SpecSht.pdf  Bar plate heat exchangers are just a stack of stamped parallel path fluid channels, assembled and vacuum furnace brazed to make the final assembly.  Want more cooling/heating, just stack more plates until you run out of package space.   Anyway, thanks for the info, much appreciated.

      I have thought an EV might have some practical value in extending the life of the ICE members of ones fleet. Now....I'm convinced of it. I've been letting my better half access Raven (Mitsubishi Mirage) for her needs while Dizzy has been in the shop. Being the fuel freak I am and given the fact Raven is capable of over 60 mpg in clean air on a warm day I was taken back by the wife's ability to take a car that had used a half a tank of gas that to that point had returned a value of 57 mpg and return in with a decimating 51 mpg for that same tank in that same day in a 15 mile round trip of short hop errands and a stop in the drive through at Micky D's.  😱   Trust me on this. It would take the remainder of that tank driven on the highway to return that tank to just 54 mpg. This is not a Mitsubishi issue. This is an ICE issue that is magnified in vehicles capable of such high fuel economy values. On a percentage basis your 1500 does the same thing. Short hopping an ICE consumes a good deal more fuel and in doing so provides zero additional useable outputs. That entire volume of fuel is wasted in diluting the cylinder walls oil films, creating crankcase moisture and acid content and the resultant wear.    Enter the SLATE. All of that is avoided and the ICE's advantage in range and made useful at reduced wear for your ICE!   Kind'a cool.

      Back in the day people would buy cars based on performance. The charger posted does 0-60 in 3.3 seconds. And it’s fully loaded.  It has a decent warranty and will fit most anyone’s needs. Remember the original Hemi? 90 day warranty. 25K mini truck or that car? I’d go with the car. It wouldn’t fit my perimeter. If I could just talk my wife out of her Genesis. It would be perfect for her.
