2020 LTZ 4 High mod help


Recommended Posts

Posted

Hi guys, new to the forum and first post, I have been reading often though since buying my truck a couple of months ago. I have a 2020 LTZ with a 6.2. I've seen on older trucks being able to have the low beams stay on when the high beams are engaged by jumping a diode between relays. I can't find any information on doing this on the 2020. I've found plenty of info about auto on fog lights but not this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for sharing this, unfortunately it doesn't apply to the 2020. The relay and fuse setup is completely different. There is only one headlight relay instead of one for high and low beams. Also the new style relays completely block the contact points underneath them when they are installed.

Sorry - read the post too fast.  I thought you wanted the fogs on with highs.

How about this one: https://boostautoparts.com/products/6hi

Basically the info is the same but the diodes are much cheaper way to go.   If you want to send me a message with your address ill mail you some for free.   I have a hundred or so left over.

I appreciate that, I actually ordered some that are getting delivered this afternoon. That's why I was doing the research.

its super simple, a single diode between the fog lamp relay control circuit 1317, terminal 10 in BCM X5, and high beam relay control circuit 1969 terminal 18, BCM X5 gets the job done

I went from terminal 10 in the BCM X5 to terminal 22 in BCM X5. The fogs come on any time the parking lights come on (you do not have to push the fog light switch) and stay on with high beam

    • HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.      
    • I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it. 
    • So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29. 
    • Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.      
    • I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
