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

Thanks!

I did most of the install.

I bought the new knee bolster but decided to use it to make a template and just cut the hole for the switch.

I ran the wire across the engine compartment and through the grommet.

I didn’t get started until 5:30 and ran out of light.

Tomorrow I will find the end of the wire under the dash, put it in the plug and then connect the battery end.

It took me around two hours so far... The last 1/2 hour was spent searching for the power wire in the driver’s knee well. I should have given up and waited for daylight.

It will also probably help to have a second person move the power wire while you’re under the dash so you can see it easier.

I’m going to hook up a ham radio, an air compressor and eventually some extra lights.

Nice work! The hardest part is definitely installing the new knee bolster as the whole dash has to come apart so good call drilling a hole in your current bolster!  Have a few lights hooked up to mine so far, probably going to add some more with a back rack!

Does the 5th switch always have to be used for snow plow prep? I would like these for adding some auxiliary lighting. I don’t have any need for a snow plow so it would be nice to use that switch for something else.

No just have to find the wire that feeds the beacon

I purchased a 2020 2500 Denali about 2 months ago. I'm not sure if it's because I live in Canada but there was no option for upfitters switches. I didn't know they where available until I found this thread. For reference I have the snow plow prep package and 5th wheel prep.

Did you custom order it from the factory? It should be available for U.S. and Canadian markets. 

 

If you "build" a truck on the Chevrolet website you should see it listed as an option to select.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
