They look sharp on there bud! Thanks for clarifying that. I'm assuming after digging around, that the led module is the big silver piece on the back. I saw a listing for one without the module, and the metal piece wasn't there. I found a set like new for 1450, I've about bought them twice now lol. I'm waiting to hear back from my question of whether they work or not since it doesn't actually say that anywhere in the listing. If that's all good then I'll join the upgrade club.

Thats actually a heat sink. Keep looking as there are cheaper lights out there. Check car-part.com, email some of this vendors or call asking for pics. A lot of them will text you pics etc.

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.

Completed my swap.

 

With Zmnypit's help I didn't have to cut anything. He made up a harness from what we had and it worked perfect. Not sure why Gen 5 didn't just go that route from the start.

 

In progess:

On the left are my OEM 15 lights with 35W 5K HID's. Right is the 16 LED headlight.

All done:

I have the Morimoto XB LED fog lights.

 

Love them.

PIc of the harness used in Arths truck If anyone would rather have this than repin feel free to PM me.

 

This will only work with the 14-15 SLT trucks. The SLE's would need an external power source for the DRL.

I just received a harness from Gen5 for 2016 led to 2015 slt, I don't see where I would need to do any cutting while installing?

Looks great, been looking for a nice clean set to come up for sale. Definitely doing this in the future. Zmnypit i'll contact you once I find a set for my swap.

You won't. That harness you have is excessive though. Also with that it forces the DRL on with the key not when placed in drive.

 

They are severly over charging for it.

I agree on the price. I've messed with some wiring and splicing on speaker components before, and I honestly just didn't want to sit down and work it all out as it's not my forte. Had a little extra play money after getting our roof fixed from the snow damage, decided to take the plunge. Found a used set with tabs for 350 a piece semi-local. Hoping they get here today.

Got them installed and everything is functioning properly. Took a test drive to the grocery store, all was well. Ride back from the store I had a check engine light on, any ideas?

 

Edit* remote start does not function either, lights blink once and you hear a click, but nothing. I think the check engine light is preventing this from working.

 

Edit edit* I'm thinking MAF sensor, going to unplug the battery tomorrow for a while and see what happens.

Easiest thing to do would be go use the free code reader at the auto parts store.

 

Yes remote start is disabled when the check engine light is on.

 

I don't know what your install entailed using that harness so whatever you messed with is a possible problem though the lights should have nothing to do with the engine.

MAF sensor wasn't snapped in completely, tried to hurry and get done before dark. All seems good to go, I'll take some pictures once the rain stops!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      By davester · Posted

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By davester · Posted

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
