Hey Folks,

 

I get my 2017 Silverado LTZ in two weeks and was wondering if the adjustment screw/bolt for the LED headlamps is easily accessible. I've head that many seem to come from the factory dialed in a bit too high.

 

Regards,

John

I'd say mine were too low - just a bit - but recognize the cut off is purposeful. Id like it higher but got used to it. Not driven any highway distance at night however.

 

I have never been flashed by oncoming drivers.

 

(Yes, LED)

My 2016 has a phillips screw for adjustment. I moved mine up just a little, Have not been flashed at all.

How do you know how much and if they remain even? I'd like to do this but afraid I'll get them out of whack and never get them back.

Awesome...thanks guys. I typcially check headlamp aim right away. I've had a few vehicles with the lamps aimed way too high.

I think the problem is a flare up on the cutoff line of the projector. I noticed it when I parked 10 feet from a wall. The cutoff line doesn't stay level but goes up on the right side of both projectors. I think this is what is causing us to get high beamed. It would also explain why signs on the side of the road light up, but the light isn't as high directly in front.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
