They do light up too, the 4 blunt cuts out the bottom are for your connection. #5 is the roof beacon wire that is coiled near the 3rd brake light. (snowplow prep pkg)

I’m happy to report that my 2020 Black-on-Black GMC Sierra 2500HD SLE CC LB 4WD "L8T” Gas truck was delivery on 02/14/2020 with Upfitter Switches Factory installed.

Well the first picture is similar to the one in my truck. Just a different color. Well I added a 5 aux switch panel to it today. I didn’t want to cut into my dash just to add some switches. Plus I wan

I also opted for the Upfitter switches in my 2500 build, waiting for the truck to be delivered to the dealership.   Dealer claims the UF switch has to be installed by me.   No big deal, but it should have been factory installed.

Mine came loose in the truck, install is customer/ upfitter responsibility. looks like a big job.

Kevin, I was wondering about that. Every photo I have looked at that had that option was installed did not have it in the photo. I figured if the factory didn’t put it in the dealer would install them.

Tony, my truck is also on order, but I don’t think I’ll see it until after the new year.

It may come in sooner than you think 

I hope so. The dealer just told me today that the factory "Should have picked up the order" this week so I'm not sure what that means for me getting the truck.

Yes, correct. If you dig into the upfitter link above, it shows “some” of the steps. Everything around the lower trim knee bolster comes off including the radio. Why couldn’t GM install this at the factory!!

That is ridiculous. It's $150 for the switches ordered from the factory on top of the 50 - 70k+ we pay for the trucks. You would think someone besides us would install them after spending that much money.

Just finished the install, took about 9 hours going slow and figuring how it all comes apart. Mine was missing the red hardware bag and the battery stud kit  (bulletin#147) https://www.gmupfitter.com/files/media/photo/1143/UI Bulletin_147 Snow Plow power provisions_V2b.pdf  Probably when the dealer took it out of the back seat pre- delivery thinking it was left in there by mistake during assembly.

That's sucks we have to install, thought it would be like Fords ready to go from factory. I ordered mine with upfitter too.

      Missing thrust bearing? And oil selection

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I find it amusing the OP doesn’t realize this threads heading includes several engines. He should have posted in the off topic section if he wanted a more narrow focus. I really appreciate and find amusing that he actually pointed out one of my many vehicles. The Odyssey. That happens to use 0-20 oil. I love pushing his buttons.

      Maybe, but it seems he is the only one that has backed up data to prove what he is stating. I think he is doing this more because he enjoys it and wants to get the information out to us. He's got the knowledge and access to the proper equipment and having the funds doesn't hurt.  I would love to do what he is doing and would do it if and when I hit the Powerball.  I'm not a Tribologist by any means but love to learn what I can.   I would bet there would be doubting people out there if a completely independent lab with high quality work and highly respected in the automotive industry, put out information like this.  The world can't be pleased, one just has to take the information that they are given, do more of their own research to find actual lab data to back up what they are trying to figure/find out.  Most don't bother, they just want to believe what they first see.     I don't have the minimax but my 6.2 in my 2019 Silverado with 64k miles shows excellent UOA results with 0w-20 and for my own purposes 5w-20.  Since not much of a change using 5w. I liked the data sheet information on the SS 5w-20 and figured I would give it a try.  Still the same viscosity at 100℃.   In the end we all just do what makes us happy, life is too short to get upset over trivial social media.   On a side note, I do feel GM has dropped the ball and just cares about the bottom dollar and not quality anymore.  "Like a Rock" has been long gone.  Seems "Built Ford Tough" has as well.

      2026 sierra bad brake controller

      By flattop · Posted

      Hello, my 3 month old Sierra Elevation wont recognize a trailer with electric brakes? All the lights work correctly, but no power to the brakes?   This is the factory installed brake controller. If you manually push the knob, the display shows the power % but does not light up like my 2022 silverado.   I have an appointment with the dealer, but was checking to see if anyone else has seen this issue.    Thanks,

      Post your latest oil change.

      Been using SS 0w-20 from new, but wanted to change to the 5w-20 because I liked the data on the data sheet, to me it seems like a little better product. But as you can see, not much difference. This is also with running a mix of 10 gallons E85 to a tank topped with 93. It isn't a flex fuel vehicle so any higher I get a CEL for running lean on both banks. Yes my mileage takes a hit. Instead of 20 mpg I normally get on trips I get 17mpg. This is also using EaO17 filter.  What is amazing is I have the AMSOIL cone filter on it since I have the GM Performance intake installed and that air filter has 44k miles on it.  I just take it out and shop vac it off once a year.  I use the upholstery tool on my shop vac.  Works well.
