Really hoping someone can help. So I bought the Oracle halo kit and they sent the wrong one. After I opened the headlight housing in the oven. And FYI to anyone who is interested there are two ways to seal the headlights. One is an easy to pull apart glue and the other is a heat activated plastic that you have to almost destroy the housing to get apart. Yes I got the second one in my truck. But anyway I had to ducttape the lights together so I can get to work. The right parts finally arrived and I noticed a few finger print smudges inside the lens. I sprayed the duplicolor wax and grease remover I used to clean parts with all the time and there is some sort of coating inside that turned white and cracked. Ive tried to get it all out and everything I do just makes it worse. Does anyone know where I can buy just the lens? Ive looked and cannot find the lens listed alone. Im sure with people baking the headlights this is not the first time someone has needed just the lens. Please help this has been a huge nightmare and I just want my truck back together.

I seriously doubt it you'll probably have to start from scratch. Just did a quick check, factory stock replacements from the bone yard run ~ $500 per side if you just want to put it back the way it was.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

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

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      By davester · Posted

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
