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.

Works fine, have this kit in my truck and had the BCM update.

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

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
