Good morning all, I'm looking to remove the halogen headlights and install LED lights. Does anyone know if the 2015 Silverado 1500 is a CANBUS system? If so what LED lights and defeaters did you use? Thanks

I forgot to put that in my initial post. I have reflector headlights.

Don't put LEDs in if you're not willing to pay the premium for ones that mimic the halogen, such as diode dynamics SL1

If it was me I would stay away from any LED that has a fan.

I like these. Best warranty, nice price and no fan.

 

I have been debating getting these LEsS for all my truck lights. High , low and fog.

Through emails with this company they say they design the LEDs for each application.

Now I'm leaning toward and LED light bar. Great light output, less money.

Horrible advise. Fans are how they cool. You listed overpriced garbage that will blind other drivers.

Read the reviews on yours then mine. Look at the product pictures. Look at the company reputation. Who wouldn't spend $50 more and get the best product for this application? The ones I listed are actually showing his vehicle unlike the generic ****** pic others use.

OK, you have your opinion and I have mine.

Agree?

Your brand has no high beam LED.

3 year warranty.

 

Reviews are opinions and I like to evaluate things myself so reviews don't mean a lot to me.

 

I didn't recommend the brand I like to start an argument or a debate.

How do you know my brand is garbage and will blind other drivers?

 

I don't mind you posting your opinion but your not an expert.

And by the way I don't hold experts in high regard either. Expert or not it's an opinion.

 

Done.

I certainly appreciate the input. Does any one know if I will need the warning cancellers? My last car had a CANBUS system where the computer monitored the whole car.

I would not buy the junk from headlight experts posted above. I would buy the diode dynamics bulbs.

 

Putting led's into projector housings is generally a bad idea because most LEDs are not designed  for that type of housing, they're often cheap sales gimmicky products that won't give you a good result. It doesn't matter how bright the light is if you are spraying it everywhere but the road.

 

And Led's are okay, but I prefer a good HID retrofit to led light, maybe in the future LED's will catch up

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
