Those codes may actually be from that old service bulletin dealing with oem bulbs in the 14-15 Sierra. I had the dealer order the volsa bulbs and was to come in and get them installed and the truck flashed to send more coltsge. I actually never went in to have that completed though.

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.

One more night pic that should help.

So can I ordered the headlights and harness from you? I’ve been looking for those headlights but I can find them anywhere for some reason

Hard to say. I know it did on the denalis but I have yet to see any 5.3s that flicker. I've asked around as well as check with all the locals and not one has seen or noticed a flicker. Im scratching my head on the 5.3

I have the 5.3 and the 2016 LED headlight swap and had the Volsa upgrade PIT done before I had ever done the swap. Noticed my drivers side flickers every now and then now too.

Looks good but just curious why not shell out for LED 16+? The hids in the 2016's are only 25W, you can throw 55W's in stock housings and have much more output.

i went back and forth between the leds and hids for a bit. 1. I couldn’t pass these up for what I give for them, 2. unless i misread something, if i would have went with the leds, i would have lost the ability to run just parking lights if i wanted. i have actually had these since Feb, just haven’t had the chance to put them in. i thought about doing the 35w morimoto upgrade, or doing a retro with a different projector, but decided to see what it would do first before shelling out more money. To me, they are as bright as my 16 silverado was with hids and xb fogs

What'd you get them for by chance? PM me if you like to keep it private.

Wow only 400? Thats a steal, dont blame you. I havn't seen even a single headlight that low.

yeah it is! and you are right, i haven’t seen them that low for just one side either. I am happy with the outcome amd the output of them. My windshield has a layer of 35 on it, and between the headlights and xbs, it is like driving with nothing on the windshield at night.

If you know of another set for 400 let a brother know :D

Reviving this thread as I've been away on vacations over the last 2 months and I sold my truck. Seems like here lately I spend the majority of my online time searching for a new (used) truck. Im currently in the market for a 15-16 2500 so Im still in the game. I did keep my headlights and taillights for the 2500 of course once I find one. I also have one drivers side headlight like new condition for anyone looking, It has no broken tabs or missing pieces. $775 shipped with a set of adapters included.

Welcome back Vann. Finally found a set of 2016 SLT headlights. Now I just have to get the courage to take apart front end and install them. Thanks again for the adaptors.

Thanks! Nothing to it once you get going. Hardest part is the piece under the grille. It's easy with two people, one prying the tabs underneath and the other pulling in it

Thanks for the tip. Looks like new headlights this weekend :D.  Good luck with the new (used) truck search.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      By jaszr2 · Posted

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      By jake111 · Posted

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
