Yes, another LED tail light thread.

 

I will be doing this mod soon. I really like the Winjet design, because they look so unique. Any comments on the quality of these lights? Or comments (pics preferred) on any other lights you like?

 

Thx

I saw those winjets. I didn't know how they would hold up here in northern Ohio.
I love them. Let me know how they work out.

I bought some aftermarket LED tails last spring, and love the way they look. The closest model I can find like mine are currently called Axial Smoked (americantrucks.com). I wasn't sure I would like the configuration when I ordered them, but they were the least expensive smoked lens I could find at the time. I must have gotten lucky since those are running twice the price now. As it turns out, they work very well as replacements in my Summit White truck. Quality was good, and my guess is that most will be fine for our application since the tails don't get the pounding that headlights do. My 2016 needed an unusual 3ohm resistance to prevent hyperflash (most need 6ohm) but other than that it's an easy plug and play upgrade.

 

FWIW I replaced the high brake/cargo light with a smoked lens and that one was not as good. Be wary of the model if you choose to do that mod.

 

The truck is REALLY dirty right now (and more snow on the way so it is what it is right now) but I took a quick snap since I couldn't find any of the tail.

I have K2Motor tails and love them. I've had a few random voltage fast blinks on really hot days but other than that I love the look of them.

I have the winjets on my 14 silverado.  Ive had them on for about 2-3 years and havent had a single issue.  No burned out LED's or leaks and the fitment is perfect.  They come with nice resistors to fix hyperflash too, at least mine did.  This is the only pic i have right now.  No issues with the OLED running light bars either.  The brake light LEDS are nice and bright too.

That looks good. I will probably end up with these.

I recently purchased the Recon smoked tails. No issues thus far it’s only been about two months though. So far they’ve held up with all our negative temp and snow here is IL. 

 

Only quality issue I had was I noticed some of the electrical connections were not properly heat shrunk. Other then that they were plug and play.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By BlueV8 · Posted

      A complete delete is the most thorough mechanical solution, but it is also major engine work. On a quiet truck that is still under extended warranty, opening the engine purely as prevention is difficult to justify. A plug-in disabler stops commanded cylinder deactivation, but it does not remove or repair the collapsible lifters, so it should not be treated as failure insurance. I would keep the oil full, document the maintenance, and have any persistent tick, misfire, or loss of power diagnosed promptly. If the engine eventually has to come apart, that is the logical time to compare an OEM-style repair with a complete delete. The right choice depends on the truck’s symptoms, warranty status, expected ownership period, and whether the engine already needs to be opened. We explain that decision in more detail here—full disclosure, this is our own guide: https://www.bluev8.com/blogs/news/do-you-actually-need-an-afm-disabler   One exception: some 2021 L82/L84 trucks have RPO YK9, meaning cylinder deactivation was already disabled in the factory ECM; on those trucks a plug-in disabler is redundant, although the AFM/DFM hardware remains inside the engine.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.
