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.

How do the 2016/2017 LED headlights compare to a HID retrofit?

Had the retrofitsource 35w kit in my factory lights and output was better but not as good/reliable as the 17 LED lights.

Unless you are doing a full retrofit and putting in new projectors I'd say the 16/17 LED's are the way to go...

Thanks guys. That is helpful. Looks like they have a pretty good cutoff. Where are y'all buying them from?

eBay, car-part.com, here. Couple have bought from gm with employee pricing.

I have a buddy here in town (Wichita Kansas) that works at a dealership but the owners also own a GMC dealership and he quoted me $3095 after tax his cost. I also have a connection at LKQ here in town and he told me they can't get the LED headlights only the HID and the LED tail lights are refurb's and said they are kind of a crap shoot, I won't know what I'm getting until I get it. I'm thinking the LKQ here in town just can't get them they have to be available somewhere.

 

So I have a 2014 SLE I am assuming I just need the lights and harnesses still.

 

As far as the DRL shutting off when the blinker is on is that fixed now as well?

You have an SLE so you need the full harness from gen5diy because you need to grab separate power for the LED DRL. Because of that there no way to interrupt the power when you flip the signal on

I'd like to confirm; if I have a 2015 Sierra Denali I can order 2016 Sierra Denali LED headlamps and install them into my 2015, correct? If so, being that both are Denali's, would I need the gen5diy harness?

Yes you can install them. Get in touch with zmnypit here. He makes the harness you need for about ½ the price if the gen5diy harness...

I have a 2015 GMC Sierra Denali. I'm trying to put the upgraded GMC Denali headlights in it. Being that both trim levels are Denali, will I still require the special wiring harness?

Yes you need the wiring harness from zmnypit. Among other things the connections are different...

      Trading 7.3 (Godzilla) for G.M.C gas

      By James Beyer · Posted

      Congratulations Isttype, on your gmc. Really like my 2024 2500hd sle doublecab now with 85,500 miles.  I checked the oil today at 4800 miles since last oil change and barely reading on the stick.  I don't care if GM says it's Acceptable adding a quart every 2000 miles because that is 100% BS, It is not a 1966 Harley Shovelhead! Sounds like it's setting up a future failure like I had with my 1500 6.2l. Other than oil consumption problems, I really like the 6.6l gas and 10 speed is really nice.  Towed a light 4000 pound trailer last week and averaged 14 mpg.  I was pretty impressive that a 7300 pound gas truck did 14mpg towing, Later-

      OCI, not when but why?

      Long Term Cold Cycle Limited Testing   Back to the 1990's and XOM's million mile test. Since then there have been others and there will be more. Schaeffer's, AMSOIL to name two. Of these Schaeffer's is the stand alone which I will explain in a bit later.    http://papers.sae.org/600190/:   http://papers.sae.org/850215/:   Up to 75% of  engine wear occurs on cold starts. These two links (above) provide the technical reasons for engine wear. In a nut shell, and by a large margin, cylinder wear is what takes out most motors and even with a pre-oiling system that part of the engine is dry enough on cold starts and cold warm up to pierce Stribeck.   So when you put a motor, or a car, on a dyno for a million miles stopping only for oil changes, (yes fuel is uninterrupted) or break down maintenance, you are depriving the test of the most important part of it's wear cycle. Yes a million is then a pretty easy walk even for a mineral oil under those conditions.    How about cleanliness during the long test cycles? Same thing. Varnishes that stick rings and insulate parts are laid down by repetitive 'heat cycles'. It's the cool down the precipitates the varnishes. These long runs also hinder acidic attack caused by cold start richness and less than optimal cold start ring sealing. They hinder water formation and enhance breathing of the crankcase; the petri dish of acid formation, the first step in sludge formation, amalgamation and precipitation. These motors are also monitored and controlled for water and oil temperatures to within the "normal operating range".      https://www.swri.org/sites/default/files/sequence-iiih-test.pdf Note the test sequence in some boutique oils literature for testing, API IIIH, is not the standard used for the ILSAC G7 testing. Does that mean it is irrelevant? No, not as used. As used as a 'visual guide' it makes it's point. The G7 weighted piston deposit minimum is lower.      Back to Schaeffer's. That was a cyclical test of an engine in fleet service and not a dyno mule and if you saw the video it was not mirror clean but wear was low.    There are oils like BioSyn and other 'Renewable" source oils that taught cleanliness and have proven themselves in fleet testing. Havoline an other example.    The newest ILSAC G-7 test prioritize cleanliness, LSPI mitigation and fuel economy OVER WEAR. In comparison Porsche C30 Specification Verses ILSAC G-7 Specification below:      Some will balk that this graph isn't apples to apples and I will challenge that in that this graph represent the SPECIFICATION and not the any One Oil Performance.   It is absolutely possible to minimize wear, maximize cleanliness and mitigate LSPI etc., It just isn't cheap and currently I see none that are not walking toward profit over performance.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I don't think you will need a split, separate product, etc., the OBD port should be able to deliver everything you need. Since your device would be plugged into it all the time, it wouldn't miss anything.    Hardware in this case will be the easiest part of your project - ELM 327 devices will already deliver all the data you need. Reporting/software is where your advantage/marketability is.

      It has happened to me a few times. I carry a jumpstart-tire inflator with me.
