This last weekend I went ahead with putting in the OEM LED tail lights from the LTZ model on my new 2018 Silverado LT.  Overall the installation was successfull and fairly easy to do. The tail lights

Reverse bulbs to LED do not require resistors. Only turn signals if you upgrade the bulbs to LEDs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey Everyone! Sorry I haven't been responding to everyone on this thread.  Soon after I posted this I packed up everything and move half way across the country.  Its been fairly hectic but just now getting into the swing of things.  I will try and answer anything that has not been answered previously.

Is there any way that you can provide a link to purchase these lights, haven’t been able to find them for my 2018 LT for the last two months 

These were purchased from ebay.  The guy that I purchased them from had about 3-4 pairs and was able to make me a deal for two sets.

I think he bought them on eBay. There is a member here that comes across them used. @alexg I’d try shooting him a message..   You’ll then need @pgamboa ‘s harness. Good luck. 

I love the @pgamboa harness and highly recommend getting it to anyone that wantes to do this swap.  Made the whole process way easier and he was SUPER helpful.

I ended up ordering a set from Diode Dynamics.  They weren't the cheapest in the world but they are designed and manufactured in the USA and that matters to me.

Will this conversion work? I have a 2018 ltz with the factory led tail lights. I would like to change them out for a set of Anzo tail lights. Is changing the wiring harness the only thing that needs to be done?

For some reason did you run into a issue where you plug everything in and the right tail light doesn’t work but when u turn the turn signal the reverse light blinks

How did you get the dash to not say check rear lights?

I got the necessary wiring harness from@pgamboa  and highly recommend getting it to anyone that wants to do this swap.  Made the whole process way easier and he was SUPER helpful.  This is what resolved the dash warning.

      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 ?.

      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.
