Swapped mine out this acternoon after bringing the CHMSL inside to warm up to room temperature. MUCH easier to turn the sockets w/ a pair of Channelocks.

I bought 2 pairs of the ones Luster posted, as well as a 10 pack of generic 194's for the license plate lights and whatever else I can think of. Bright as ****!

I ordered 4 of them so I can do the cargo light too. I bought some cheapo ones for the license plate light and we will see what they do.

I just put in a set JDM LEDs in the rear the other day. Super bright, back up lights drown out the tail lights and they are bright also

Lights showed up earlier than expected. Put them in this afternoon and love them. I don't know that I can tell a difference in the backup camera other than the tag lights, I love the color however. I was really more interested in doing the cargo lights and those made a huge difference. I just did the reverse and tag lights because I figured why not.

I put these in today, they appear to be more blue (or purple) then white. They definitely do not match my tow mirrors, again, more blue/purple then white. I purchased enough to do the cargo lights as welI, but I will be sending these back..

Have you tried them at night? I think they're really bright and the color is exactly the same as my 6000k LED headlights. I bought them based on the near-5-star reviews and I've been really happy with them.

 

But I do understand that some people don't like the blue-ish tint. Pretty extreme color difference from OEM halogen! :eek:

 

(Most LED manufacturers describe 6000k as "White with a Blue-ish tint".)

I'm waiting for it to get dark as I sit here and type, lol. I have read this thread and the the excellent reviews of this LED, have see the pic's and the ones I have don't seem to be all that bright or be as white. Maybe when I try them once its dark I will change my mind :dunno:.

 

Yes, big difference in color compared to OEM.

Okay here's one of the things that frustrates me about GM. You have a Duramax Denali, one of the best-equipped and most expensive trucks on the market. It has led daytime running lights, HID headlights that are white, LEDs on the interior, LED mirror lights, and then they still put the cheap incandescent reverse lights and cargo lights on. Why not do it right and just put LEDs everywhere? But instead they make you go out and buy aftermarket and struggle to find ones that match the other lights exactly!

I agree.

It's like they were confused with the Denali's identity, its part 21st century luxury work truck and part 19th century work truck. Why they are still using late 1800's technology is beyond me.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      I have a basic 2026 1500 WT  (2.7L/4WD reg cab shorttbed). Comfy, generally happy with electronics/radio - but is there a way I can add switches to steering wheel right-side position (curr. empty) so I can adjust volume, push phone button to voice dial, etc? Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
