I have the upfitter switches included in my 3500 build should be taking delivery of it in the next few days if no one else posts I'll be sure to take a photo or two and send them to this thread.

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.

    • Thanks everyone for the help!   I'm going to stop into the scales one of these days and weigh my axels, for the time being, I am going to run Toyo's recommendations and also do a chalk test. I have a tire shop that's going to try their scanner to reprogram and set the the factory psi values lower, and if they can't I'm going to order a scanner and do it myself!
    • You won’t do better than stock exhaust without headers. Just put your favorite muffler on it and it will do the job. 
    • I have seen different people in different places post different sizes of exhaust as stock for my 2014 Sierra L83. Some say 2.5 some say 2.75. I am considering replacing the muffler with a Dynomax Super Turbo, perhaps 17739.  I had the factory L83 5.3 replaced with another L83 5.3 from Jasper Engines. I also put new Walker Cat / Y pipe on. I would appreciate opinions suggestions about what would be a good muffler setup. My main interest is a low rumble and the best flow / fuel mileage I can get. Not interested in straight through glass packs or loud exhaust. Those days are way behind me now.  Thanks Guys.  
    • Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB 20-NA-166 -  20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"     I'd say its the head, and its either leaking at the casting line and dripping down the intake into the cylinder, or its another spot on the casting itself at the cylinder that is getting wet.  
    • Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.
