This is probably a very self explanatory answer and may have already been asked( i couldnt find it if it was, i looked everywhere) but will 2014 sierra headligbts fit in a 2014 silverado without mods besides the fenders grill and possibly bumper, Just looking for a better looking front end tbh

It con be done. Not sure how. Theres a guy on offerup in dfw, texas who does these swaps or grafts.

Pretty sure you would need an entire front clip from a Sierra. Fender cutouts are different so you would need.

 

Sierra:

Front fenders

Grill

Headlights

Hood?

Bumper?

 

The Sierra has different fender design so it wouldn’t match the Silverado box.

 

I’d vote going for a 2016+ refresh Silverado front clip or aftermarket.

Would be a good excuse to go with the ram air 2500 hood

There are many ways to change the look of the front end without making it into a Frankenstein truck.   As trucks get older, the ones that look fresh from the factory garner the most attention.  Try a little paint or maybe a custom bumper but don't disfigure a beautiful truck!  (imo)

I was thinking about it, and as much as I love the Sierra front end, now that you mention it I’d rather not go all doctor strange and make my Chevy look like a GMC Do you happen to know if the refreshed look of the 2016 would bolt up and be plug and play, I like the fog lights more that the 2014/2015 models, but if I just changed the bumper plus those I feel it would look half done, or a “hack job” but I’d want an honest opinion if it would bolt up and if it would look good/be worth it;

do you have any pics of mods you’ve done to your truck weather Chevy or gmc, looking for inspiration for my truck; also would 2016 tail lights bolt up,plug n play etc, sorry for all the questions, only got my truck a few months ago and want to mod it a bit, I’m not lifting it to the moon, if anything I’d do a leveling kit but that’d be it, I don’t like the look of lifted trucks unless it’s for functionality, either way thanks again

 

Thanks

I wonder if someone has changed the front clip from one of the 2019/2020 new style  Truck to look like the old Square wheel wells, is it just me or do people like the genders on the Silverado's from 2019 /2020 new model where they’re more rounded, Might just be me though

The answers to all of these questions are previously discussed in this forum.  Take some time getting familiar with the search feature and do some reading.  Tip:  Google your question/topic and hit the link that leads to this forum. (GM Trucks.com)   BTW  A well designed custom bumper will not look like a hack job.  If it does, you likely didn't do your research ?

    • 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.  
    • 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.      
    • 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?
