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.

Wow much more advance than other vehicles. I guess I'll wait for your your harness too.

 

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

Got me looking on cost for a Denali Cluster now... I don't need another mod ?

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:

 

A55C3E0C-42C1-4C52-99E9-B5A3014A023C_zps

 

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.

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      So, do I go elbow-deep on this thing or list it for sale and play dumb? Seems to "runs good."   I'm about $1200 away from having: -a rebuilt injector ($300) -a new cat ($250) -a new cat back exhaust (OE style) ($300) -a new AC compressor ($200) -AC refrigerant charge ($150)   In theory, this should rectify the obvious detracting issues from its value and operability. Cold AC with a non-squeaking AC pulley both sounds and feels good. An exhaust that isn't cut/hacked in 17 different places and doesn't vibrate on a crossmember would make it sound and feel less janky. A working cat would help the stink, and will save the earth, but *if and only if* the fuel system is working properly, which would also address the intermittent "rich" CEL.   Heard a good one... CEL for "Rich condition" means you haven't spent enough money on the truck lately, and it's letting you know.   Rebuilding the injector would seem to be the most important part. Replacing the cat would be secondary. I don't think mine is plugged or overly restricted, but it might be a little restricted? I have no good way to tell other than seat of the pants feel. I hate the smell.   The current theory is I have a rich idle problem: A bad fuel pressure regulator, or a leaking injector(s) being the highest probabilities. I already replaced the FPR but that doesn't mean its replacement isn't also bad. It was a new part from Dorman, but the packaging looked like it had been sitting on a shelf for 20 years.   This is the (single) upstream O2 sensor shown at idle. I'm getting a lot of "rich" it seems. Sometimes it stays high like that and doesn't drop down. That makes me think it's processing injector leaks or a partially stuck open injector.     Other times it looks like this. Nice oscillations between rich and lean, which is what I think it should be. Under load and at speed, the oscillations are nice and tight and uniform looking, high and low.     Fuel trims suggest the PCM is compensating pretty hard at idle to pull fuel out. But it's not enough to trip a CEL. Something about slowing to a stop: brake vaccum booster, EGR, or the EVAP purge is delayed, or there's pooled fuel in the intake again that's draining into a cylinder is enough to set the CEL. Of course, in two days of driving, it hasn't set. I was hoping to actually look at the freeze-frame data when it sets. IAT is high because it's idling on an 83 degree day here.

      Gas fill door

      By newdude · Posted

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.
