what is the build code for the roof marker lights?

can somebody that has them, post a pic of your window sticker please?

 

I am looking at a truck that is in transit still and I am trying to determine if it has roof marker lights. If so, they are a deal breaker. 

 

TIA

Unlike previous years the 2020 HD’s have roof marker lights as standard equipment 

 

Nevermind, that statement only applies to the GMC, you can still get the Chevy without

They are optional equipment on BOTH Chevrolet and GMC.  Denali and all duallies (Chevy and GMC) they are standard equipment.  

 

Option code is U01

 

Trucks with emissions code YF5 California state emissions requirements you can't get the roof lamps on those.  

 

Why are they a deal breaker?  The OE ones rarely leak compared to all the aftermarket ones out there.

Never owned a pickup without them... even my older F-150s had the factory units.

this makes sense. the particular truck I am looking at, is a 3500 SRW Denail with California emissions. I don't see them listed anywhere on the build sheet or the generic window sticker on the website.

also, I cannot chose them as an option on the GMC website, but I can on the Chevy

 

I don't like them, so I don't want them

We don't call them clearance lights anymore?

I do, but  the order guide calls them roof lamps.

what is the purpose of them anyway?

Originally they (and still are) were mandated by the government to alert other drivers that a larger vehicle was approaching.  I believe if the truck is over 80” wide they are required.  They expanded to smaller vehicles because many, including me, think they look pretty cool.  When I look at an HD without them it almost seems like something is missing..

so why with Cali emissions you get NO clearance lights ?

AFAIK, it's Cali regs. 

 

In any case, if Cali emissions, only the DRW trucks get the roof lights.

California, such a beautiful state, mountains, ocean coasts, desert landscapes, more mountains,

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then the political atmosphere suffocates and kills you, nice.

Thank you!  Now I know that I am not crazy!  I saw a Denali SRW the other day without roof lamps and was just dumbfounded (here in CO), it must have been a Cali truck.  At least we can spot them coming

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.
