Personally, I'd trade mine before doing this. It's like the guys who changed their front clips to 2500's or Escalades. Any worries you are creating a Frankenstein that you will never be able to trade or sell?

Here's the before and after. Foglights are working I'm only waiting for the gen5diy harness. But everything went flawless. Let me know if you have any questions on parts. Totally worth it.     Sent

Has a guide been made yet? Would be greatly appreciated. I'll even pay :driving:

No guide yet. If I decide to do this swap (if I can find decently priced headlights), I'll be sure to make a detailed guide as I normally do.

Where do you go to find used headlights? I would like to swap out mine on my sierra 2014 for the 2016 look. I hear it gives better visibility.

I found a set of the LED OEM Tali Lights on ebay for $600 shipped where as others were $1,200. Dealer price is like $700-$800 each.

What is the current issue? Have you been using HID can bus/error eliminators?

Looks great... I will be doing the same to my 2014 sierra.. I am waiting on the fog lamps and a bit of time. Sierra upgrade to 2016 is less involved.... just bumper, grille, headlights,fog lights and radiator cover.

 

Ricker6869, I plan to do this change with my 2015.5 GMC Sierra SLT. The bumper and grill were slightly damaged so doing this upgrade (swap) would be awesome. It sounds like you've done some of the "leg" work. Care to share any additional information?

 

I'm guessing we can keep the hood but we just need to replace the following? --

  • bumper
  • grille
  • headlights
  • fog lights
  • radiator cover
  • molding between grille and bumper

If there is any major parts I'm missing out on, please let me know. I am hoping to do this swap at the end of December 2016 or the start of 2017. Thanks!!

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.
