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

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

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
