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.

I finished my installation a couple days ago. I had a Morimoto kit in the SLT halogen projector headlights. My limited use of these LED headlights leads me to believe they are not quite the output of the Morimoto kit in the SLT headlights. But they seem adequate. I like the reliability of led.

I just purchased these. I been following along with most of the post. I do want more info about the harness needed to make the DRL shut off when turn signals are active. Do I still need to purchase the Gen5 harness or Is there another harness that I can buy that is plug and play, that will control the DRL w/turn signals?

Since you have an SLE you will need the Gen5 harness.

Thanks zmnypit for the harness. I love the look of these on the 2014's.

Anyone had low beam issues with the light not coming on? Local guy got in touch with me yesterday after buying a 2015 2500 denali that already had the swap done. It looks like a gen5 or plain&simple harness not sure. The drivers side low beam will not power on with that harness or my adapter however the bright light will.  I took the light and ran a jumper to the battery and the low beam will power on like that. Everything but low beam works so I'm scratching my head. Using a test light its getting power all the way to the light so it has to be in the light itself. I ran out of daylight so I didn't get to swap sides to see if I could rule out the light.

Is there power through his harness to the low side? When you said you jumped power into the low side pin did you use a harness? Or run a wire directly into the low pin?

 

it sounds like a worn pic connection lamp side (if you have power to it) or a broken wire in the main truck harness.

Yep. All the way to the light. I jumped both the light and the existing harness. Main truck harness is getting power at the factory plug as well. Low beams will not power on though even though it gets power. Pass side works fine.

He's supposed to find out where the lights/harness came from then check with whoever. I'm not certain who's it is to be honest.

Are you saying that power is there for the low beam at the OM wires, and if you connect to the headlight only (no other harness) there is still no low beam?

Well I cant connect the headlight with no harness because of the plug differences but yes thats correct. On the OEM fat plug I get power on the low beam, Add either my adapter or his harness and I get power on the low beam on the newstyle plug.

Got it, here is the good and bad of the new LED headlight, Good is there LED for both the Hi and Low beams, the bad is there LED for the Hi and low beams, so we think the computer on the headlight went bad, and lost a circuit in side that controls the low beam, looked it the one we opened here at the shop, it runs all the wires from the LED board to the computer on the side of the headlight.

      primary drive belt tensioner

      By Deadwood · Posted

      I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.

      10L1000 anyone with High Mileage ? I hate Damocles....

      By Deadwood · Posted

      New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.

      6 Speed vs 8 Speed

      By swathdiver · Posted

      At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
