Have a 2015 Silverado and one of my right rear taillight sockets already corroded to the point that it doesn't work. Looks like the wheel well liners don't cover enough to keep water and dirt off the housing. Anyone else have this issue?

Yep just had the wiring harness replaced,mine was left side tho.

Did the dealership cover it under warranty? Truck only has 23k miles. Taking it in Friday. Hope the dealer covers it.

The housing sizes and mountings appear identical in the '16. At 8 months of use had to pull both housings to run the wiring conduit to install bedlight LEDs. All lights work, no evidence of moisture intrusion or corrosion.

There is no moisture in my tail lights either. I think it's just cheep material. I wouldn't be surprised if a recall is in our future.

Dealerships replacing the harness but they are not sure when it's going to be in. From what I can understand is they are back ordered from gm. Have a feeling a recall soon if that's the case.

I had to drive 50 miles just to find the mini J fuses for my trailer lights and none that I could tell besides just the socket itself had some condensation on it.

TSB? No way as this is a safety issue. Tail lights are required and if there is a possibility that they fail due to crappy piss poor overseas inferior products due to cost savings attempts, then it will be a recall. If I had a light out because of this and the police pulled me over and gave me a ticket, I would force GM to pay for that ticket (if I had to keep driving waiting for a part).

 

GM has no shame in penalizing their vendors if they give them crap products for safety issues, even if it is their own fault for sourcing and not properly testing the products. Hopefully it becomes a lesson learned for them through this as every recall is a blemish and costs them potential buyers.

 

My '14 has already had 3 recalls and one item fixed for a TSB (which is now a recall). Pretty sad.

Did you take your truck to your dealership with a taillight not working and they sent you away?

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That should answer the maximum depth difference between the stock and the PPE so its not hugely lower. As to the PML pan, they don't make any claims that it fits the L8T with the same transmission and in fact leave their information confusing, however on the surface it says "for Duramax" and so its hard to say. I know a while back and not sure which brand it was that specifically stated that the extra capacity pan that particular company made did NOT fit the gas version.

      Installed Bilstein 5100's on my 2024 2500HD - Worth it - VIDEO + GIVEAWAY Inside

      By fondupot · Posted

      There are several versions of the 5100's. Some for stock height, some for leveled, some for lifted.    Side note. I finally had a chance to tow with my 30' gooseneck with about 10,000 lbs of material on it this past week. Hands down the 5100's made the trailer towing much more stable and comfortable. I even had 10 cmu blocks in the bed. What a difference over the stock shocks.

      According to PML, the stock pan is 4.3" deep - (PML info): Dimensions: at deepest area, PML pan is 7 inches, stock pan is 4.3 inches    PPE is 5.4" so roughly 1.1" deeper than stock

      I had not realized that PPE has come out with a version of a cast aluminum oil pan specific to being able to fit onto the 10L1000 with the L8T engine sometime this spring. I was doubting that anyone would come out with something beyond what Dorman had in more of a direct factory pan swap. I see from one comment that is on the PPE site that they found the pan to be tighter to install then the factory unit and having to flex the exhaust down to fit it. I didn't lookup any specs if they have any as per how much lower it hangs but as it holds more oil and has fins outside the pan it would no doubt hang a certain amount lower.    I looked back at the site and they do have some depth measurements to get a rough comparison to the factory pan total height or hang down if you will at the front and rear of the pan so that will give a good idea how much further down this pan would end up being for ground clearance issues.    2024-2026 GM 6.6L Gas 10L1000 Heavy-Duty Cast Transmission Pan – Pacific Performance Engineering

      I'm in constant amazement over the number of people that do oil maintenance by how they feel, what they were told, what materials cost, what brand A claims vs brand B.     Come to think of it, this behavior isn't exclusive to oil. 🤔 They drive this way too. 😬   There is a 20 plus page thread on BITOG on Mobil 1 Advanced Clean vs Valvoline Restore and Protect it would be amusing if it were not so........humanly pitiful.   Last Sunday we were are sitting at services and listening to a speaker talk about Jesus parable of the wide and narrow gates and he said something that hadn't dawned on me but totally fit the way people in general are about just about everything. He said there are so few people on the narrow path leading to a good reward not because the the narrow gate was hidden or hard to find but because the wide gate leading to a bad end it so darn easy and uncomplicated to follow!!!
