I believe that you reuse the bolts/nuts when you remove the covers. 

Can confirm this is not the case for Sierras at least. Got under there and the covers just snap in. No nuts or bolts where the instructions say to add them.

I had my flashed at the dealer, someone said in this post you can do it your self I would like to know how.

Hey. This may be a stupid question. But did you have to do step 10?   

 

Im looking on the brown connector and I see a brown and white wire but I swear I don’t think it’s in cavity 10.    I can tell there is a wire in cavity 10 but I don’t think it’s the brown/ white wire 

 

 

Step 10.  ocate the BCM under the lower instrument panel on the driver’s side of the vehicle. Locate BCM connector (X5 Brown) cavity 10, circuit 1317 (BN/WH). It is giveaway on certain trim levels. If circuit is present in cavity 10, disregard steps 11 through 14, and 23 along with the single wire jumper that will not be ne

I'll caveat by saying I have not completed the dealer flash to ensure my installation was correct. However, my assessment was that there was a wire in every slot in that row and for that reason I didn't need to run the wire from the BCM across the front then through the dash to the engine compartment. That's probably the most difficult part of the whole installation. I'm not going to subject myself to added work if a wire is there. As you probably saw, the wiring in the BCM is so tight that it's tough to distinguish the slots and wire colors. Getting a single wire in there seems like a real chore. 

 

My challenge with the installation was the fact that the hardware to mount the lights to the bumper were not in the kit. For Sierra at least, the covers were just snap-in so there wasn't existing hardware there either. I had to procure my own.

Dude. That sucks.   I called my dealer. They said 75 dollars for the flash. Which isn’t really bad.  Guess I’ll proceed with the next steps. Hopefully it’s right when I take it to them lol

You had me second guessing. I confirmed my wire in slot 10 was brown/white. You should be good to go.

some say I have to do that step. Others say no.  

 

I don’t know lol.  Guess I’ll just take it to the dealer and let them charge me to death lol

Mine had the wire in place at the bcm so I didn’t have to run the wire

For those that have done this DIY - couple questions re: Step 25. 

 

1) How did you remove the existing wire from the connector? I see the that there’s clips from looking at the jumper harness but don’t have anything skinny and small enough to reach them from the top. 

 

2) How did you route the wire from the jumper harness up through the bottom of the UEC so that everything can be put back together and closed properly?

Can anyone advise on adding the Delphi connector to the UEC (step 25). I tried everything to remove the existing wire and replace with the one from the harness. Paper clips, staples, screwdrivers etc. Everyone seemed to have no trouble installing. Any advice?

For item 1. I’m at a loss that no one else has described this step as it’s the most cumbersome. I gave up and I’m going to the dealer. For step 2. I cut back the plastic from the single lead to the UEC leaving about 8” or so of the wire exposed. I then mashed the top of the skinny plastic cover of the single wire into the larger plastic of the main bunch going into the UEC about 8” below the UEC module. I then taped around the plastic At the point I merged the 2 together. This left a single wire lead up to the UEC module. I managed to take a photo surprisingly as it was really tight to work. 
I welcome any input on the Delphi connection. 
Also, the dealer pricing for programming is all over the place. So far I’ve read of $75 and $135 for full install and programming. My dealer quoted me $150 just for programming and explained that GM charges them just for the call to get the download. They quoted me $250 for install which is how I ended up installing myself. It seems dealers are not clear on installing these. My dealer explained they had not done an install yet with the 2019s so I imagine they are just throwing out numbers without experience.

    • Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!
    • If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.
    • My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.    
    • I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w
    • I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
