Don't know if everyone knows it or not, but I turned off my DRL's for good. I simply opened my hood on my 03 Z71, and pulled the fuse. Now no more DRL's. The good thing about that is the fuse only controls the DRL's, and nothing else..

The DRL's are great.......... Adds a cool look in town. I used to be the only one with amber DRL;s however it's starting to catch on........

Yes, you have to push the "dome override" button 4 times in a row. This disables them...Until you turn the truck off. Then it reverts to them being automatic. :thumbs:

Do the Chevy and GMC trucks have a switch to turn the DRL off like the Escalade?

Youse guyz need to post year models with some of the questions and contributions since the General constantly makes revisions as the years progress. I'm talking to me, too. :thumbs:

 

Anyway, the '03 Silverado allows the DRLs, headlamps, anything to be turned off, or turned on for that matter. You basically have nearly full control. Even the dome light can be switched to stay off, for example. The DRLs certainly can be told to turn off. Can't recall if they stay off when one returns to the truck and cranks it back up, though.

I think I'm still the only one in Albany with the Amber bulbs in the DRL's. And there are hundreds of these trucks running around!

Couldn't agree w/ya more! :thumbs::D

 

This a cheap mod that will make your truck stand out from the crowd! :smash:

    • Thanks for the info but wow, these are pricey! $100 apiece. A full set of smaller ones can be had for less that the cost of one of these. Gotta be a cheaper option out there but I have yet to find it. I don't want to use grommets as I can see leaking in my future. Now that I am looking at it, I might be able to just get the valve stem and modify the sensor to fit. Looks like I can just modify the hole a bit to adapt.
    • I recall paying $5.00/gallon in 2007 as well, although, different circumstances. A severe windstorm followed by a rare ice storm knocked out power in our region for days. We had a gas generator keeping the fridge cold and our furnace on power, and fuel stations either didn't have power, or didn't have gas because deliveries were delayed because of the storms. Driving around, we found one station that didn't have power but had a sandwich board set up out front. $5.00/gallon. They were hand-pumping it out of the underground tanks. I'm not sure that was legal or even advisable, but we needed it, and they had it. So we filled up. I was just out of college, just bought our house. Times were tight so $5.00 felt really outrageous. Local supermarkets couldn't keep stuff cold so they were basically giving food away. Fridge/freezer cases were literally being emptied out before the food expired. Never seen anything like it before, and until this day this event serves as the boilerplate for our winter storm prep.
    • Have you spilt anything on the console during ownership?  Water, coffee, soda, juice, etc.?   GM has been seeing contaminated console shift controls causing all sorts of issues.  Requires replacing the shift control.
    • If it's something they cannot figure out they can contact GM. They have a case open for noise in the suspension and my whistling drivers mirror they cant figure out how to fix.
    • Thing is gorgeous! Definitely been a LONG time since I've heard that sound!      I wouldn't call myself a purist, since I'll throw Wilwoods and power adders on anything. For me, that engine makes me cringe as a former shop owner remembering all I've been through with some of them. Plus I hate LS engines for their oiling system (MANY places to lose pressure from, especially on the AFM ones which I wouldn't be caught dead with), and the dowel-less front and rear covers - an engineering decision that irks me to no end! And I despise electronics with every fiber of my being.   My main reason for avoiding modern electronics is that when they fail, they typically leave you stranded. Tied for 1st place is also the fact that sometimes troubleshooting super-annoying problems can suck the life right out of you. I've wasted so many hours of my life chasing gremlins on those in all kinds of vehicles. I find carburetors and simple HEI style components much more suitable for keeping my sanity, lol. Different strokes for different folks. I probably get more hate from the younger crowd for sticking with my old school ways of thinking than you would for doing an LS swap.   When everything's working, they're certainly a ton of fun!
