Yeah like I thought. You need resistors in the rear.

If you have resistors for the front led, it shouldn't be the problem for the rear signals. It's the low consumption of driving/braking LED tail lights that may trigger the light out on the dash.

 

 

That was my belief and assumption, but thought he may test it.

Sorry I'm a little late, I've been in the Caribbean for a little over a week and just getting around to posting pictures. I know there was a lot of fuss of whether or not the SLT lights would so I bit

Well, I finally got around to installing my 16-17 LED headlights. A huge thanks goes out to @zmnypit for fabricating the adapter harnesses.

Headlights in tomorrow and can't wait for tails

You can.

 

You are looking at a 2015 Denali Cluster in my 2015 SLT.

 

There is a thread all about it. If you want the details PM me so we don't run off track in this thread.

 

Now if only someone could figure out how to get that dash in a 2014 SLT LOL

Sorry guys. It was pretty here all weekend so we went fishing. I have not tested but I see arth did (big thanks for that) and resistors are needed. I will get the harnesses made up this week and start getting them out to you guys!!

Installed my LED headlamps with zmnypit's harnesses tonight after work.

For anyone about to install theirs, it's pretty straightforward. Here's a quick "how-to guide" since I didn't see one posted yet.

 

You need to remove the bumper top pad, then the grille, and then you have full access to the headlamps. There's a 7mm screw on each side from the wheel well through the fender trim/flare and bumper top pad. Pull out on the flare to get it out of the way so you can remove the top pad. There's a T15 torx screw a little further back on the flare you can remove to allow more movement of the flare as well. There is then a 7mm screw going straight up through the bumper top pad into the fender. Once you have those out, you should be able to pull out on the top pad to release it from the retainer holding it up to the fender. Once you get that released, the top pad is clipped into the bottom of the grille. You should be able to pull it forward and the clips should release, or you may need to gently pop it loose with a small flat head screwdriver at each attachment point. There is 4 10mm bolts along the bottom of the grille, and 4 along the top. You'll need to remove the upper cover off the top of the grille first. After that, it's just 4 10mm bolts that hold each headlamp in place. I attached the resistors on the new harnesses to the side of the radiator support with small screws.

I wish I would have taken some pictures along the way, but hopefully this made sense.

 

Before:

During swap - one old one new

 

5D192CF6-23FD-4518-B810-9F7E9C48BD01_zps

 

Picture doesn't show the difference between the old and new very well, new is bright white and old seems very yellow

 

AFF6CA4F-5FFC-4662-A2B4-1B1DBDBD7E74_zps

 

Done!

 

A93DD4AB-AD40-4C5F-9FBD-A79311137AF4_zps

 

Definitely need to get LED fogs. Stock ones look very out of place (again, photo doesn't show that very well)

Signals/flashers on:

 

33993D23-747E-4AD1-AB9C-D31264A8C70F_zps

 

I did before and after pictures of the light on my garage doors, but the difference doesn't show up very well. I can tell you however, that these headlights are bright as hell!

I also got quick video of the flashers on. I'll have to upload that to YouTube or something and post a link to that if anyone wanted to see that.

Nice job guys and many thanks to Vann for opening the so-called flood gates for making the conversion super easy.

Awesome to finally see the chrome version installed! Can't wait to get mine installed once the harness gets here

No regret what so ever! In person, think I like them more than black housing when lights are on!

Raised to 1250 OBO now. 3 sets. I'm sure he will take 900 again

 

They look to be out of box brand new. Mounting taps have no sign of ever been mounted. Back of the housing is just too clean to come off a used Sierra.

heatsink

After a little more research, this is actually the LED controller GM has it labeled as the K166L and K166R LED controller if you remove it you will see a 20 pin connector. The case functions as a heat sink as well but the brains are inside of there.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      on-wheel cellphone control: 2026 1500 WT (2.7L 4WD std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
