I finally got around to doing this upgrade to my '20 Elevation. The OE LED AT4 tail lights came with cut harnesses. You can unplug the cut harnesses and secure the new ones. I purchased mine from Ebay, OE LED AT4 harnesses. I added the Gen5diy and secured the built-in resistor to a metal surface as instructed. (see Pic). Everything works, and the upgrade is so worth it. ec48e7bdbc4370300cb4d9001feab606.jpg318b81e4661b778877a489affaff6595.jpg3cb08b8f2362f74bd6afda4e558182eb.jpgf3a8c2c3a5d23f3d0c2a4913a24dd13b.jpg5627cb0e9ae030e0448a8303204605fc.jpgeb8d521e93b764ab84c604e31119a085.jpg

I have OXILAM 7440 led bulbs in my front turn signals, work perfect. $22 on Amazon. Can't help you on the tails.

Keep an eye on those resistors from Gen5DIY. Looks like you heat sunk them well like I did, but both of mine still failed within a year on my 2016, one right after the other. They sold me an upgraded set with two per side and they held up better but it’s a pain in the butt. They get really REALLY hot.

Will do... These are 1000w resistors so I'm hoping they will take the abuse. Thanks for the heads up

That's a typo above, should read 100W

just replaced my front turn signals with the ones from Go Performane I am so impressed both with colour and intensity I have also purchased two sets for the taillights as well. Hoping to get those installed tomorrow.

I replaced my front turn signals with a set from Lasfit and they're awesome. After installing I was surprised they let something so dull leave the factory. Best part is built-in resisters so no hyperflashing.

Have you done your tails yet, i just replaced mine as i wanted them to match the blade light bar, very strange condition from them. The tail/ brake and 4 ways work fine but when i put the turn signals on they flash at normal speed 3 times and then speed up (hyper flash) and of course the DIC in the dash says that there is rear turn signal bulb failure.

 

I purchased these because they are CANBUS compliant but the only solution i see is to add in resistors which negates the point of getting them, either that or put the dim originals back in?

My tail are LED from the factory so I haven't messed with them. It's strange that you're having those issues with the CANBUS compliant bulbs. Maybe have a dealer reflash your truck to a model that has LED tails from the factory?

Here is the video and the bulbs I used.  I dunno why you'd want to go in from underneath removing screws on the wheel well cover.

 

This video covers the turn signals going in from up top with no tools, and your license plate lights.

I just installed LEDs in the tail lights of my 2019 1500 however I am getting hyper flash, I have load resistors but which wires in the rear am I supposed to splice into? I don't have a tool to check for power :( It looks like I have 2 black, a brown, and a green wire. Help? Thanks!

Definitely a resistor based issue, I tried just changing x1 and same results so I have put the originals back in for the moment. Strangest thing is that with the LED bulbs in that they flash 3 times then hyper flash I might yet consider the Recon assemblies, I see one of the guys has installed them recently.

I just swapped mine from halogen to LED tail lights on my 19 Silverado just tap to the green wire and black wire coming from connector coming from the tail light

      Enjoy the new truck, it’s a beauty. I’m glad you’re keeping the OBS, I love those old trucks.

      With large equipment or deep mud it is more of a use the higher gear to avoid spinning tires, getting stuck because of spinning tires and doing damage to your machine. The idea is if you run out of torque before you spin tires you can still downshift for more torque. If you are just spinning your tires in the lowest available gear you are stuck and things break.   Automatic transmissions, traction control and electronic transfer cases change the calculation a little as you the driver have less control over each piece.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      are there any codes? with lots of rust, perhaps disconnect/clean both sides of the connection/examine cable ends (the wires) for corrosion going into the sheath & replace if necessary/reconnect ALL the power AND ground cables between the battery, engine, frame, cab, fuse box and starter charm.li (website) has a no-start diagnostic procedure you can work through to get it working.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.
