Called the dealer and told them about it, they called me back saying that my 'truck has halogens and this TSB does not apply to it. The new bulbs in that TSB would not fit my truck anyways.'...

 

I have a 2014 Sierra SLT (purchased in October of 2013)... are they playing dumb or am I missing something here?

 

they probably think you have a chevy lol

Morimoto 3five 6000k kit. Best choice I made when changing head light color and brightness. Not too blue and not dingy yellow. Bright bright white. Check it out from the front

^^the morimoto HID Kit from TRS was 179 when I ordered mine I believe. I sold it soon as it made it to the house, but it was right around that price. Probably is right, most have been going with the Sierra spec kits or Silverado kits from TRS for a plug and play setup more or less.

Bulbs replaced by the dealer today and the Computer was flashed. I will report back tomorrow after I have a chance to test them out at night

Can someone confirm the voltage after the update. My dealer says my truck was up to date. I am still at 12.4v though. I was thinking this isn't an update everyone gets, i.e. When they hook it up to update it, there is no update for this based on VIN. They have to find the update and apply it.

I tested the voltage post update. 14+ volts.

 

Do you have Vosla bulbs installed?

Thanks for confirming. I just wanted to make sure before I talk to them again or try another dealer. I do have the Vosla bulbs.

Got out to check my headlights finally last night and noticed they definitely are better. Are they twice as good as they were? No. But they are better. I definitely notice more light shines into the ditches when I'm on the highway and the road is a bit brighter and the light projects further.

 

Once I put some Rigid D2 Driving lights in where my fogs are, I'll be able to see absolutely everything I bet!

      I'm also waiting to see if they confirm Apple CarPlay, because I'm not interested in subscription fees just to use the hardware I already purchased.    In closeups it looks like it gets the Colorado/Canyon center screen based headlight controls which I despise. They also appear to lose all the hard switches for functions like seat heating and cooling, parking sensors, lane control, traction control, etc. which means they're all screen/menu based, so verdict is out on how well those will work with gloves or wet/dirty hands.  Admittedly they don't show the left knee area of the dash, but I don't see hard switches for locker control on the ZR2, and the "mode" switch appears to eliminate the rotary dial with a quick way to access tow/haul.  My 2021 has had multiple screen failures and at times the screen just locks up, goes black, or reboots while driving even after replacement, so loosing the ability to access many of these functions, especially lighting control would be pretty frustrating.   There aren't enough photos or detailed trim details other than one mention of "available microfiber trim" to confirm, but the use of microfiber on the seats and or center console is a deal killer for me.  Just because you drive a ZR2 or High Country, doesn't mean you don't work out of it, and that material is difficult at best to keep clean and looking decent.   Lexus and several other brands are using it on seats, dash, and door panels now, I assume as a cost and weight saving measure,  and it looks horrible 1-2 years into ownership.  I see what appears to be piano black on the doors and center console in some photos, which also has no place in ANY vehicle in my opinion because it mars and scratches too easily, especially for a truck.  Will be interesting to see what GMC comes out with when the Sierra is released as far as materials go.

      Im a fan.  Simply moving the screen up helps the look of the interior.  I feel like GM dropped the ball on the current gen having the screen not at the same level as the top of the gauge cluster.  The GMCs look better with the vents above the screen to close that gap.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I hear you, its just not something one would even think of that the new oil in the container isn't filtered to a spec one would expect it to be.    As to a passenger vehicle theme and the maintenance requirement to meet to ensure a warranty is honored, these days with claims of life time transmission fluid on some models and the limited amount of oil changes that would bring one to the end of the factory warranty, that sells vehicles for those that like to hear "easy care maintenance free", but the manufacturer certainly knows different as to what that more than likely means for the longevity of some of the components if given that minimum spec maintenance. Then again I imagine there are a fair number of people that really don't care as long the vehicle gets them a certain number of years down the road because they are the type that want the next new thing, new and improved ... more bells and crap etc on the new one on the show room floor. Manufacturers have learned the phycological game to entice the customer out of their money !

      Why soooooo many screens? Shall we just replace the windshield with a large plasma?!?!? Besides that I like the looks. And they added back the additional door cubbies,    No SS???
