yes 2.5 HMI

I can regreen a HMI with this? This is a game changer man!

 

Now another question, could this tool allow me to swap a cluster and program it to my truck? I'm crossing my fingers on this one.

 

This thread is gold man.

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

Can anybody answer this?

 

I have a '16 Sierra SLE, had an accident and now I have a truck with a broken lower bumper, left fog light, and the bumper sort of "hangs" on the driver side. Will I have problems installing a 14/15 bumper? I figured out it'd be cheaper since the 16/17 parts are more expensive and aren't that common where I live. I know that dimensionally they fit, but will I have problems with the fog lights being different with the wiring? Thanks!

Thank you.!

 

The only thing you need is the hood, front panel, both headlights and bumper. Hopefully your bumper will have the inner brackets.

 

A member here pgamboa is working on a plug and play harness I think., but gen5diy.com has the harness and is plug and play.

I’m about to put a 2017 Chrome LT grille and 2017 chrome HID headlights on EBay if anyone’s interested in the front end conversion. I’d sell cheaper to forum members. I will make a post soon but this just if anyone’s interested here

I don’t have the part number right now, but I have this one for sell, is brand new for 100.00 as I was getting parts for the conversion and ended up with an extra one.

I see in your profile that you have 2016. I have extra materials from a harness I built for my truck. Makes it Plug and Play if you do not want to cut/tap into your factory wires. PM me if you want more info.

So with these do you unplug the existing harnesses with the three bulb sockets further back and simply replace them with these? And then go directly to the new LED tail light assemblies?

 

Do you happen to have the GM part number(s) for the necessary harnesses? (I have a 2017 1500 LT if it matters)

The harnesses as pictured, no. That harness requires you to have the Factory LTZ harness and plugs inline to those underneath the bed, where it plugs into the X63A Junction Box.

The intent was to have a harness that plugs into the bulb sockets, then into the LTZ tail light, with the resistors inline.

Thanks for getting back to me. Guess I'll grab some of the GEN5DIY P&P harnesses... Looks like they're on sale!

      TCM Tuning 6L80E

      I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.

      Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.

      Bridgestone vs Goodyear tires?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.

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

      Atlas, you kill me As aggravating as a project like this can be you have been unable to hide your fascination with learning and using that angst against this beast like a Ninjitsu Master. It amuses you, admit it now.      BTW, love your writing style. 😉

      I gotta say, I'm enjoying your narration. The troubles you've been having are amusing as you describe them. It's good to see that you're finally getting some satisfaction out the old beast though.
