Have you seen the Michael J Fox Edition Sierra/Silverado rolling down the road? Looks like the Toyota from Back to the Future. Anyway there is a really cool headlight switch with the option for Off-Ro

For you guys with 2014/2015 or anyone else that this doesn’t work for (due to BCMs not being programmed to output these triggers), please be patient with us. We have an alternate method that allows

Ok folks, for anyone wanting this headlight switch harness, I have them ready made, and ready to ship.   $35 shipped anywhere in the US.   They are built with the same specs as shown in the vide

I programmed my BCM to enable the lights.  The reason that I went that route is because I wanted the light indicators on my instrument panel to light up when the lights were on.  There are several posts on here from people who purchased/built a circuit that includes a relay that will remain energized after your finger is no longer on the button.  The button is momentary, so the circuit needs to include a circuit that holds the relay energized until you press the button again to turn the light off.

 

I have no idea if the dealer will perform this programming for you.  I ordered a device from the website below and it allowed me to enable the fog lights, among other things.  For instance, when you unlock the doors with the key fob at night, the turn signal lights come on.  I was able to change is so that the fog lights come on instead.  I do not know if the dealer will do this for you.

Well i bought the buttons for my truck because i found out it had the heating elements. All of a sudden the passengers sest would get hot. I didn't believe my brother once he told me untill in was sitting on it then it turned on by itself. So i bought the buttons and yes it was wired but the buttons dont turn ON or OFF. 

 

I will check with dieselworks thanks for the response.

I haven't experienced that situation but my truck already came with the heated seat function

I am looking to buy the blue version, but I am seeing on multiple websites that the 23458492 and 84168423 has been replaced by 84448506.  Although I don't see anyone else on here struggling with this, I just wanted to make sure that the part number was actually replaced or if these sketchy GM Parts etc websites are putting out false information.

Not sure if you bought it already, but yes, the new one(blue color) is the 84448506. I bought mine off RockAuto, cheaper than what I saw on eBay and other gm parts store(online).

 

On a side note, didn't even know about this thread, so much info on here I could have used as an alternate to the OEM switch.. just so happened to see the YouTube vid and went for it... sigh..

I have kicked around the idea of doing this as well so searched the part #. Many online places show it as not available or discontinued. You're right on eBay as it shows it north of $200. RockAuto shows it as an option so they must have access to some. Maybe I will order up one just to have it on hand. Thanks!

Welcome! Yeah, they are either over $200 or they are out of stock. Just got lucky my search showed RockAuto and it was cheaper than the rest.

I paid something like $30-40$ for a blue back lit one. And $130 for the f#$%^ red one. Seriously considered switching the back lighting to blue in the 2014 before buying that switch.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
