I found a company that makes a bypass that only makes the Task Lights work while driving when you turn your brights on.

prove it.  :)

Boost automotive has a product that does have the mirror lights on with high beam but does not have a way to shut off and on.  also some do not like the T-tap connection and would rather use a diode method of this mod.

Right. That is what I plan to do. 1N4004 diodes. I download the wiring schematics from uplifter, just have to take the time to figure it out. Boost automotive has some YouTube videos that will help to.

I plan on making it so the fog lights and the mirror lights turn on with the brights. Just have not had time to look at what connections will need a 1-way resistor 

Any luck with that? I was going to just make my own harness, because $70 seemed like a lot for something that I had to Ttap into my $50k truck....

Does anybody know the part number for the light in the mirror I was driving down the highway and a rock hit the light and chipped the housing and it just looks bad with a big hole in the middle of the light and water is getting inside?? Part number??

Is there a work around to get the mirror lights to be turned on while the truck is in gear? 

Boostauto makes a harness for it. You can run them when you put the high beams on.

A lot late to the party, but 3 posts up, the one and done is asking for a part number???

There is a QR code right on it in plain site, how do you afford a new truck when you can not even figure that out🤔

Yes! This kit makes it so when you use you high beams both mirror lights come on also. https://boostautoparts.com/products/high-spot?utm_source=GM+2019%2B+High+Beam+to+Spot&utm_medium=Description&utm_campaign=YouTube

You end up finding your way around this? I see Boost’s product but can’t imagine $50 in actual parts. Looks like 2 connections between brown and grey BCM and a fused link and a relay are what they used.

I have a ‘21 rst and I have task lighting. But I do not have the mirrors. If I get a set of mirrors, will they work as they should since I have the rest of the task lights, or will other things need to be done as well. Thanks in advance

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
