i know i am taking a little shit but pics with words helps sooo much.i have been wanting to do this mod since i bought my truck last year.i have the LTZ trim and was surprised that i did not have them.
     so let me understand, is this available on other lineups like Tahoe or Suburban of same model year?if so it just a matter of ordering the wiring harness and a simple install?

Not sure what it’s available on I know it’s on a 2015 Tahoe LT trim. It’s not as simple as plug and play but it’s pretty straight forward. Mounting holes are already there on the Silverado. I ordered the lights and rat tails which plug into the lights then have to be wired into the proper circuit. Once I get the lights and wiring I will post some pics of the install.

All looks very familiar. Lol. My son said “I thought the box of wire was a sophisticated wire distribution system”. Nope. Just a box with spools in it. Lol

I think the holes on top are meant to be drilled out if you want to keep the spools of wire in the box.

All good! Can you post some part numbers when you get a chance?

I’m actually happy about this too.. I want to have my door handles light up all the time at night and plan to diode mod it to the same circuit.

Curious what you mean by light up all the time at night? The LED's in my door handles are on whenever the lights are on so effectively they stay on at night.

 

OP can you post the part numbers for the lights and connectors? Also what are those plastic pin pieces on top of the envelope in your pic?

The factory intended operation of the illuminated handle is to be just like the Puddle Lamps where they come on at night when you unlock or open the door.

We are talking about the led on the interior front door handles right??

pgamboa is right but confused as what’s being talked about.

 

The INTERIOR handle light works just as the over head console ambient light would function.

 

Cadillac Escalade door handles illuminate on the outside. iirc there is a guy who added them to his K2. Looks pretty sweet.

Not confused - the question that was asked in a previous post that I responded to was about different lighting modes and operation. In my response, I showed the interior Dimming circuit as an option to tap. So the context was lost in subsequent posts [emoji4]. I was able to find this circuit in a closer BCM connector... which made me think of an diode mod for my illuminated handles [emoji4]

That’s both part numbers.

      GM discontinuing interior parts on a 5YO vehicle??

      By Dkd71 · Posted

      The part # is 84520447, mine does not have the cooled seats but I'm willing to possibly change the cover and foam if needed.   I tried that site and a few others,  added to cart and then paid. About an hout later I received a refund stating it has been discontinued.

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

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Thought I would add to what Bruce answered, not only do the HD models use the torsion bar system, there are I believe 5 different torsion bar spring ratings that are all physically interchangeable with all the HD trucks going from a two wheel drive 2500 all the way up to the duramax or a gas engine truck with a snow plow prep package front end weight capacity that use the maximum sized torsion bar. It starts from a 4400 lb rated set in 400 lb increments up to 6000 lb. If one wants to fine tune the ride for a certain truck application they can swap out the torsion bars.

      OIL CONSUMPTION

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      First off pay close attention to what Newdude pasted as he is a GM tech !.    I have a couple of questions which might cross off some questions others on this forum would be wondering about as well. So when was the engine oil changed prior to this trip, was it almost brand new oil or did it already have a fair bit of use on it before you started the trip.   Did you check the oil level on flat ground and was it at the full mark just before leaving on this trip which I gather from google map is about 700 miles or so. Why I ask and this is not the first time in history that has happened, that either a dealer or some other shop changed the oil on the vehicle and the vehicle left the shop and the owner ( you ) assumed the engine oil was full but in reality the person who changed the oil simply did not put enough oil into the engine .. it happens !. Also that a shop put the wrong viscosity oil in and an engine was not happy with that thinner viscosity and oil got past the rings at a higher rate than the proper viscosity. Not to mention if there was any leaking out of a drain plug or the filter gasket etc.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      You could, although in the end it really doesn't make much difference what comes out in exact terms since it comes down to putting enough back in so that there is enough volume so that something flows back out once the trans is up to temp for the check procedure. I presume your putting a pan on that has a drain plug but its probably the same pan mold/size as at least a while back no extra volume pan was made for the gas truck version due to the exhaust cross over pipe issue. All I can say as per volume I put back in and this was based on changing out the filter as some is trapped in it that does not come out until its removed because of the way its made inside and my truck had sat over night with the trans having been hot when shut down and dripping internally before I pulled the pan. I went off of what the trans shop suggested as a minimum volume he found worked which was 9 1/2 quarts and I had enough flow out of the stand pipe that I knew I was right on the money once it slowed to a dribble and never wasted hardly any oil but it would be totally fine to throw in a full 10 quarts too. I guess personally I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pan by drilling a hole in it, not with the cost of replacement pans up here or the dorman one anyway with the drain was 500.00 when I priced one out a while back, totally stupid.    I might not have said before but this trans oil type really expands with heat and I think its been said on this forum and the trans shop said the same so I wanted to try and hit the lower temp of the range vs at the top or go shooting above it as that would allow more oil to flow out which wouldn't be ideal.

      By bruceb58 · Posted

      Since I am going to be replacing the pan, I am just going to drill a hole in the original to drain it so I will be able to catch the fluid easier and measure how much I took out.
