Hello everyone,

 

I am new to the Sierra family, just picked up a 20 Sierra SLE 1500 and enjoying the truck so far. Looking forward to learning from everyone here on the forum. I have a few mods in mind but want to start with fog light installation. I noticed the higher end trims have a different bumper cover with a different part number that allows for the trim bezel piece insert, does anyone know if these parts are interchangeable, the SLE does not come with fog lights or the bezel/clip and I want to add this to the look of my truck, if I were to obtain the SLT, Denali, or AT4 bumper cover would it fit on my truck that way I can have the fog light trim bezel?

 

Thanks in advance,

Thanks for the response, however I was hoping to get information on the silver trim ring around the fog lights. The higher trims have inserts in the bumper cover that the trim ring attaches to. Is there any info on the bumper recovers being universal to all 1500 models?

You would need the plastic upper bumper from the SLT+. Then you could get the trim pieces you are looking for. I think the fog lights are probably the same with just different surrounds.

It's interchangeable. Just a matter of getting the required parts and paint work. Here's some of the parts required not including the wiring, switch, and dealer programming to make them functional. 

 

I installed the gm accessory fog kit shown above on my sle. But used a harness from gen5diy.com that doesn't require dealer programming.

      287,500 Mile Service   8/13/2026   Reset Fuel Trims   Since the work done in the previous post there was a good improvement in response in all areas except right after a fill up where the LTFT would go -20%+ for about four miles while the STFT was near neutral. Before the work they both went very negative for a few miles after a fill up but act normal thereafter.    We did a systems check of the vapor recovery system for functionality and ability to hold a vacuum. That checked out fine. But this doesn't mean the charcoal canister is dead in the water. Testing that is next up. For now the reset of the fuel trims.    I intentionally shorted the fill exactly two gallons to eliminate any chance of filling the canister. On start up the trims were behaving normally until I got up and rolling where the LTFT went -10 / -11%% but the short was + 2 to 0%. Within a mile the the STFT offset the LTFT and by 2 miles they were neutral. HUGE improvement but still not hunky-dory.    I'll watch them for a few days. Perhaps another tank where I will fill completely to 'first click' and compare. Meanwhile on the hunt for a new canister and I'll toss another purge value at it for good measure. Pending the outcome of the canister test that is. Progress of any kind is welcome.    Fuel economy improvement with bringing hole #3 back to the living was a noticeable bump to the positive. Even on the few miles I drove after the refill I already see another bump up by the trims reset.     She's purring like a kitten with a warm bowl of milk.    BTW, adding 50 rpm to the idle took the majority of the negative timing out on cold start up and leaned the cold idle. No longer burbles in the cat. What a dumb way to heat a cat.

      Yeah, shame I can’t really get that filter easily anymore. Running a PureOne. Your fave!    TAN would be neat to see. Confirmation I ran it too long probably. 🤣

      Roll up bed cover experiences

      By superdave160 · Posted

      My son and I both bought new trucks in 2017. Both of us immediately put Truck Covers USA American Roll Covers on our trucks. My son still has his truck and it never sees the inside of a garage. We live in Alabama, so not much snow. My truck was my daily driver and was in the garage when I wasn't driving it or at work. No issues with either cover even after almost 9 years. About a year ago I sold my truck to my brother and bought a 2025 Silverado 2500. The second thing that I put on that truck was a new Truck Covers USA cover. They are very well made and have a very positive locking system. I looked at a Retrax and my concern was the way that the cover locked to the rail. BTW, the first thing I put on the new truck was step bars. Those new trucks are high!

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

      The Allison 10 speed torque converter doesn't "lock up" like the previous transmissions. It has 4 operational modes; open, slip, transition from open to slip; transition from slip to open. I have an Edge CTS3 monitor and I monitor transmission torque converter slip. Step on the gas and you get a little slip. Take your foot off the gas and you get a little negative slip. I have not found a way to display the torque converter mode beyond that. My Edge CTS3 also displays something that our trucks should already display, the current gear. I also monitor throttle body position and engine load. If I see the engine load getting too high, I'll manually drop a gear.

      Nice result. Your filter is working well  I'd have like to have seen the acid number for this sample. Curious type that I am.
