Are these just plug n play?

I think they are but according to my dealer there's quite a but of labor involved. There's a couple long harnesses included with the actual sills. So, not plug & play for me. ? 

 

I tried to get installation instructions through the Chevy Accessories website but they told me they were only available to dealers.

I would have no problem installing them myself but would have to wait for someone to confirm they will fit a 2019.

Probably my biggest concern would be what they look like after a Minnesota winter.

Wow - they can't even get the reference images right in the work instruction - every one of them are backwards & upside down. ?

If they fit a 2019, you could keep the old ones & change the illuminated ones out in the fall before snow with the old plates.  That being said, I'd be worried the little tabs that hold the plates into the plastic trim would eventually wear & snap off - the only other alternative would be to have 2 sets of plastic pieces so you don't have to remove the metal inserts.  Probably a bit more $$$ but might be worth it in the long run.

Just to follow up with a picture. Had the dealer install mine for $75 when I picked up the truck. For me, they are worth it. Picked it up yesterday and then drove it on a 250 mile trip.

So has anyone confirmed that these will fit or not on a 2019?

I've had mine through 2 winters. Each fall I take a few minutes and put some 3m protective film over the illuminated panel. Pull it off in the spring. Still look like new.

I just received my LED Door Sills for my 2020 GMC 2500HD Denali 6.6 Duramax!   The Door Sills are plug and play and were just released by GM for the New Next  Gen GM Trucks(2019 1500 and 2020 2500).  The same connectors exist on these Door Sills(one plug / 2 connectors and one ground connector on the passenger side of the wiring harness)  than the earlier version GM Trucks.  The main difference in the LED Sills vs. the earlier GM Models is the LED Sill is an insert into the existing sill where the earlier version LED Sills were a complete replacement of the original / entire sill.  

 

I have not installed the sills yet, however it looks like maybe a 1 to 2 hour job as I will need to run the wiring harness behind the front dashboard / kick panel from the passenger side to the drivers side where the harness plugs into the BCM / Dome light circuit.

I'll post a pic when install is complete.

    • 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?
