All,

 

My wife and kids are always looking for gift ideas for Fathers Day.  I realize there are a zillion options and it all depends on taste, but what are some good accessories under $100 that could be given as a gift?  I just got my truck last fall and pretty much only have Husky Liners and a Tonneau, so everything else is fair game.

 

Thanks in advance

Depending what package you have, you could convert some of your lights to LED's. I've got the LTZ, so I'll be converting my front turn signals and reverse lamps to LED lights. The brand is LasFit, and seem to have good reviews. Turn signals and reverse lamps are about ~$60. Obviously if you have the High Country then I believe you're already all set, ha.

Just food for thought.

I have the LTZ too.  I've already done the license plate and reverse lights.  What light did you use for the front turn signals?

So, not sure how accurate they are, but Amazon says this will not work in my truck.

 

When I look up what bulb to use for that on the pinned post, it shows Turn Signal/Marker - W21/5WLL, this bulb is a WY21W.  Is that the same thing?  Sorry for the ignorance, just double checking.

Nah, all good, sir. Amazon says the same thing for mine, but their(LasFit) YouTube video uses that model bulb and their website listed that same part number as well. You can double check their website for accuracy, but Amazon is for sure cheaper.

I’ve had the Lasfits in front for probably a year now. Great, durable lights. You get what you pay for.

 

Other inexpensive ideas...splash guards, bowtie puddle lamps, tailgate letter inlay, hitch cover, stubby antenna, black grill bowtie if you have a gold one, etc etc.

Thanks for the help. 

 

I found this one too, pretty sure its the same bulb you shared. Check out the text on the side of the box, "for off road use only". Tempted to try it for an extra $25 ???

Thanks for the input. 

 

I looked on the GM website and saw p/n's 84133640 and 84293092.  Besides price, what is the difference between these two? I could have overlooked it, but they look identical, except for the $30 price difference.

 

Thanks again.

84293092 is the tiny little one for the corner of the grill on WT & Custom trims. Since you have an LTZ, you need the bigger, more expensive one (84133640).

Thanks. I filtered the results to only show items for my truck and it brought back both emblems. I will add this to the list.

Console organizer. The GM Accessories one is right around $50 if I'm remembering right.

Bed rail caps and console organizers. I just picked an organizer and the caps myself off Amazon.

I added these to my list.  I haven't looked at the front yet, but I assume installation is similar to the rear?  2 screws and the assembly pops right out?  I don't really want to take off 2 or 3 other things to complete the task.....primarily cause I would probably break something in the process.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I have never seen GM instructions for the other trucks as per the HD with the 6 speed or the half tons but had got the impression that the HD trucks with the 6 speed were not having the same problem that the 10 speed and pan presented. Also video that I have seen of the HD 10 speed with the gas engine starting in 2024 model year showed that it was a real struggle to even make it work when pulling down hard on the exhaust after undoing the exhaust hanger bracket on the side of the transmission as after all there is little room for the pipe to even go down behind the Y joint as it soon would hit a frame cross member. Also that they had tried just like I did with the gasket off and no way was that pan coming out any way they tried to manipulate the pan. From that as well as the local transmission shop talking about the pain in the rear issue, I was not expecting my pan to come out because GM shows it was not even intended to come out without dealing with the exhaust piping.    It would be nice to claim, here's what you do and its easy to remove the pan guaranteed on any HD truck with the gas 10 speed but dollars to donuts the next guy trying what I did would not have the same luck as the exhaust was just manufactured slightly different and be pissed off at my claim that the pan comes out with no issue. Its more of a try and see if your particular truck might work like mine did .... or not !.

      Sorry I didn't see this until now, but it works on both the 6 speed and 10 speeds, as well as all the half tons too.

      Engine vibration after motor mount replacement.

      By 1998sleaze · Posted

      Hello, I have a 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 that I recently changed both motor mounts on due to the driver's side being blown out. After replacement I seem to have a steady vibration that I can feel in the pedals and the back of the seat. At this point I'm convinced that the aftermarket "Anchor" branded mounts I used are not performing as well as OE, the only real reason I ended up using the mounts in question was because my local dealers were out a few months to get a Driver's side mount. I've tried "Neutralizing" the mounts according to the motor mount TSB published for these truck to no avail. My trans mount is also in great shape and seems to be absorbing vibrations swimmingly. As far as I can tell there is no issues idling, my idle RPM is steady and I've recently put GM plugs and wires on, however, I have not cleaned the throttle body or intake valves. Any one else have a similar experience with aftermarket mounts? Patience certainly is a virtue that I wish I exercised here. Thank you!
