Don't think anyone found it online. I think someone got it from their dealer.

Agree, I don't think its readily available online. I found it thru ESI (Electronic Service Information)......

These are my before and after photos ...... I do not believe the upgrade is as bright as my 2005 GMC, BUT it is much, much better. I can now see the shoulders of the highway and I can see much farther

Yeah, they are adequate for driving around town, but try them going 80 MPH down the interstate in Wyoming at night, miles from any town.   Where the deer and the antelope play!   It can get kind o

Just got a copy of TSB PIT5374. Dealership could not find it until I told them it was not a recall. Had to clarify twice it was a TSB (assuming that is a technical service bulletin).   Not sure ho

Just heard back, service advisor has ordered the bulbs for me.

 

Sweet!

 

Same here. When I asked the service Manager at my Dealership last week, he had no clue, but said he had another Sierra customer meeting with the "rep" last Wednesday. When I called him this morning, he said the rep knew nothing last week, and he still has not heard anything. I gave him the TSB number, and 1/2 hour later he called and said he has the bulbs on order and they should be here in 3-4 days.

Nice!

 

Yeah when I went in for my first oil change two weeks ago, the service guy didn't know anything about it but when I explained it, he said yeah that sounds possible.

Just called the dealership, and of course the service writer had no clue. No surprise there though. I gave them all the information, and they were able to locate the TSB.

 

They are ordering the bulbs, and I will be getting them installed next Tuesday. FINALLY!

 

As long as your vehicle is within the 3yr/36K, it is covered by GM. I had them check to make sure.

 

Hopefully this works well enough to where I can enjoy driving my truck at night. This will also go a long way to restoring my faith in GM again. I honestly thought they were going to hang us out to dry on this one.

 

Thanks for the information!

I was unsure about getting help on this one, honestly I was considering buying a 16 if changes were made, there is hope yet for this one to be around for a while

What build dates does the TSB cover?

 

Although I drove my 2015 (built 12/14) extensively during daylight before buying I never thought about headlights being a problem. After purchase and living in the country on a dirt road I quickly found out how bad they were.

 

Truck seems great otherwise so I can't wait to get the upgrade done.

According to what I saw that's within a day or two of the changeover

      Oil Consumption

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think this is the closest I'm going to get to reconciling your statements with my experience.    Can you confirm you haven't measured the amount of oil drained from your engine to verify what quantity was in the engine at time of drain?    For what its worth, the quote above EXACTLY replicates my observations on my 2015, 2016 and 2018, no measurable drop on the stick. EXCEPT that when I measure the oil volume drained from the pan - the drained volume is about a quart less compared to a new fill.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By Jus Cruisin · Posted

      A little late to this. I am going to order a 2027 as soon as the order banks open. It'll be a 3.0l again. This time in a Yukon.

      Fluid Change Questions

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I know when I was looking around last year to see if someone handled Amsoil gear oil to buy at the retail level which of course means full price. I found an independent shop that works a lot on GM/Duramax pickups and they did not bring in the 75W-85 as they just stuck to the 75W-90 for the front and rear as a standard practice for the HD trucks which makes sense anyway for the higher hp/torque diesel and pulling heavy loads in four wheel drive. I haven't changed my diff oils yet but still plan on using the 75W-85 for the front diff as I highly doubt I will be beating on the truck and figured for my use type the bit thinner oil would be to my benefit for the winter for that slightly less drag. Very different weather here all winter vs northern Washington near the coast, that's for sure.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Ok that confirms the extra quart theme they are still going with which must mean they have noted some initial use more so then some engines and probably the bigger factor in all of this probably isn't the engine so much as its the insane distance or OLM that lulls a lot of the driving public into driving their new vehicle off the lot and not even doing one short interval oil change because the manufacturer doesn't say different and if the dealer follows that logic as well. Selling the rarely needing to be serviced concept seems to go over well with the public that wants to get away with as little as possible for dollars spent on the vehicles maintenance and I bet there are 3.0 engines just like other vehicles out there that never have their oil checked by the owner which goes back to why they probably felt the need to add that extra quart to avoid a costly theme.    Speaking of cutting filters open, it was probably over two years ago now that a youtuber who buys vehicles to do longer term reviews and pulls a fifth wheel through the mountains of Colorado on summer trips and that becomes part of the testing. Anyway he had a GM HD with the 6.6 gas and a Ford 250 with the 7.3 gas at the same time and of no surprise the Ford had more power etc but somewhere along the way in the few thousand miles he put on the truck, he changed the oil and was seeing glitter and cut open the filter and yeah, things were not looking spectacular. The truck about that time or soon after seemed down on power compared to what it had been and then threw some engine code, I expect the cam/lifters were failing and so he brought the truck back to the dealer and made some deal to get out of it as he knew it would sit for months waiting on a new engine as they were so backlogged at the time. He kept the GM for some time after that using it exclusively until he sold it after buying his next vehicle to do a review on. Definitely the filter can tell a story when things are starting to go sideways, but it would be a sickening feeling to cut it open and be faced with an ugly mess like that and be running a magnet through the pleats and the oil on the dirty side of the filter and see all the fines sticking to the magnet.    The dealer may have some ideas based on experience as to where that coolant smell is coming from, I would imagine if they can't find it but its smelling they would put dye in it to they could give it a run cycle and use the black light to see where it pops up, if its a hose connection, water pump, rad or even a head gasket etc.
