Got a 2014 sierra and had the reflash of bcm and updated bulbs tsb done on the headlights and had to replace both headlights already in about 25,000 miles...... anybody else have this problem. Can I expect this every 30,000 miles or so or what....?

Just had to replace both the new style bulbs, they failed within a week of each other. They were maybe a 1 1/2 years old.

Higher voltage from bcm reflash will surely lead to shorter bulb life. The only solution is HID or LEDs.

Yep, me two. I already upgraded my "fog" lights to these: http://www.diodedynamics.com/store/catalog/product/view/id/16812/, which helps the pathetic factory headlights. My next move is one of these kits for the headlight issue: https://www.theretrofitsource.com/hid-systems/morimoto-elite-hid-system-sierra-low-beam.html#reviews. I spoke with them on the phone a couple times on this. Top notch customer service and advice. 5 year warranty on the 35W models. It sucks that I have to spend extra money to get decent lighting for a less than one year old truck, but I can't stand the terrible lighting on it.

Both of mine have also failed within the year of the update. I replaced with Sylvania bulbs, will see how long these last....

The TRS kit looks good. Anyone know if this will work even though I got the GMC bulletin upgrade (BMC voltage changed)?

My 2014 passenger headlight started fogging up bad and then blew the led and high beams in the last month.

It should not be a problem if you use the relay harness to power the ballasts. The relays should be able to

handle the extra voltage on the coil input. If you are concerned, contact TRS to see if they can give you a

voltage rating on the relay coil input line.

Yes It works. Here is my install video for the TRS kit. I have had mine installed since January 10th. Not a single issue since.

OH just wanted to say, thank you for your video, it is the final thing that made me get the kit and get it installed.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
