My local dealer quoted me over $240, it was only $137 on gmpartsdirect.com (Which is a SC dealership) I got it delivered to my door in less than a week from them.

I tried ordering from GM Parts Direct. They canceled my order due to the backorder status of the kit. Either they lied to me, or your info is outdated. My second online order that was canceled was GM Parts Online. My third canceled order was Tasco in Rhode Island. The info I've been posting is the most current and up to date info available at this time. I'm now using a dealership in San Diego, CA.

For those struggling, I've compiled a Google Doc with all the kits, part numbers and my install process.   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cudKHwiVgJA549Vl_Dyt6bqa1RRblfEMvxkkEm8c9-s/edi

I contacted GM upfitter support and got this response a couple months ago:       ImageAndParts.pdf ImageAndParts (1).pdf ImageAndParts (2).pdf

Because your kit is for a keyed ignition. Mine is for a push start ignition. I need 84942073.

Got a call from my dealer today. He said all the parts arrived to do this project. Again, the kit wasn't available so I had to order it by the piece. Even though I have my dealer the pay numbers he decided he was smarter and didn't order the fuse block parts (GM part #84669070). Going through the paperwork I've confirmed I need this part, so I get to call him back in the morning and get it ordered. It's going to be a few days until I can get it, so no install this week. I'm not pleased.

If you order the aux switches when building the truck at the dealer, does the factory build it that way,or does the dealer/ hack/ tech install them?

I tried to buy them from gmpartsdirect but they immediately cancelled it. I bought fog lights at the same time and I’ll have the dealer install them at my next oil change. Will talk to the parts guys when I’m there about the upfitter switches.

Alright, so I'm having some fun with this. Sarcasm implied. Installing the upfitter switches is fairly easy. Getting started is the hard part. Taking apart the dash in the right order to get the knee bolster out is a PITA. I also managed to break 2 red lock retainer clips on the plugs after disengaging them. Their fault for being in the way, and for being so weak when my fat fingers were trying to press down in the tabs that keep the plugs in their sockets. Oh well.

 

Ran into a few problems. Only 1 is relevant to this thread. I can't find the female plug for the 14-pin connector that comes from the fuse box that I mounted for the switches. Out of frustration I stopped searching and started working on the wiring under the hood. If anybody can help with identifying where the 14-pin plug is, I'd be greatly appreciative. I can't work on this project Friday due to rain, so I'm hoping somebody will post a pic of info before I can finish this project Saturday. My stock ride height truck is too tall and too wide for my garage.

Ok so your up to your arm pit trying to get it all done. Have no fear. Check this link and it should help as it has additional pics. That plug can be seen looking close to the removed fuse panel. It kinda hidden in there but not a figment of anyone imagination. 

 Start on page one and they go thru the entire install. I also have a word document on removal with photos of the entire console as it really helped me got it off and back on. I attached the word doc see if it helps you. I got it off a magazine.

Thank you! I read through it. During a break in the rain I went outside and looked for the plug. Found it, but removing the fuse block like that thread suggested did nothing to help. Interior is put back together. Spent the evening changing a weatherpack terminal on one of the wire harnesses in going to connect to 2 of the switches. No rain tomorrow, so I'm going to work under the hood and get the wiring finished up. I need to run 2 harnesses through the firewall and plug them in, then work at the battery. Otherwise, the cable are already fitted and installed under the hood from Thursday's time spent on the truck. If this works, I think this will be the first T1 with the GM Accessories light bar installed to switches instead of a remote key fob.

Great on the progress. When that light bar is activated take some photos and put them up here.

hey guys, I want to order this kit. My interior looks dark gray but not really black. Is that what is being referred to as Atmosphere? Any help would be great. Thanks

I've run into some roadblocks, but Baja Designs has been very helpful with getting the lightbar to work. Hoping to have this completely finished by next weekend.

The next question will then be, what should I get next for the auxiliary switches? I'm thinking about an ARB air compressor, and mounting it in the bed.

Anyone have recent luck ordering the full kit online? Would really rather not deal with my local dealers. 
Nope. "Indefinite backorder per GM" is what my dealer told me. I had to order everything piece by piece.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Have considered installing a DC to DC charger in your camper to replace your isolator?

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
