I just bought a set from dieselled today, the LUMENEX LED (921) they are on sale from 100 bucks to 55, the reviews are all great and they’re supposed to be very bright.

That's one of the first mods that I did to my '18.  I swapped out the cargo lights and reverse lights with 921 LED SUPER BRIGHT bulbs, and replaced my high mount brake light bulb with a SUPER BRIGHT RED LED (921) bulb.  My only issue, fixed within minutes, was the left reverse light didn't work, INITIALLY, but I re-seated the bulb and they have all worked fine since.

I got the ones I ordered from dieselled and I can say with confidence these are probably one of the best options to go with, extremely bright. Took maybe 5 min to install both. You get what you pay for.

Put these in over 2 years ago, still working great.

First thing you notice though, they are bright and kind of overpower the factory camera (hope that makes sense), so keep your foot on the brake while backing up, between the 2 light sources, it makes a big improvement over the factory bulbs.

Yeah, noticed that with the ones that I installed too.  It's a little odd that the red lights of the brakes clear it up some.

WOW! what a difference it makes. I replaced my backup lights & high mount cargo lights with LED's from Amazon here iBrightstar LEDs

I also bought & installed the "Diode cross wire" so that the LEDs on my trailer mirrors, the high mount cargo lights & my bed LEDs would come on when I put the truck into reverse or turned on the cargo light. I now feel like 'Tim the Tool Man Taylor' with MORE POWER! With all that light, it's almost blinding if your standing behind the truck at night. I also turned on setting for the time delay on the lights when I get out & now ALL the lights come on. I bet they can see me from any flying plane going over head! I'd post a picture but it's too bright for the camera.?

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By DaleB · Posted

      Hi all - my current truck is a 2022.5 1500 High Country 3.0. I bought the truck used last year. After doing some digging, I noticed that my truck's software is stuck on the original build from 2022. I have no available software updates. I talked to my dealer about this and they recommended not trying to force an update since the 36,000 mile warranty is expired. This is a big bummer since there have been many major releases since that have fixed small issues and improved speed/usability.   For reference, the current software build number is: full_gminfo37_gb-user 10 W158E-W164.4.2-QIH22B-563.3 158 release-keys Has anyone had a similar experience? Should I just forget about it and move on, or try a different dealer?

      Using zip ties but 2-3 they snap due to sharp edges. Just using a shoestring. Last longer. 🤣

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      I ordered the Snap On...waiting for it to come in later this week or early next week.   New front cover, new crank seal and new balancer are on. Water pump, pulley, fan, hoses, and plastics reinstalled. I can move forward knowing all my timing marks are dead on and the front engine is hopefully sealed better than it was. Take 2 with the water pump...trying high temp thread sealer on the lower bolts.   Rebuilt injector and new-new regulator is in, it looks like new. Top intake reassembled and all the bits are reconnected and snugged down.   Thinking about knock sensors again, I located both of mine and, there's your problem, Francis... The driver's side one is broke, plastic is bashed in, part of the wire is bare, and it appears to have been damaged like that for a long time. I saw the wire but didn't think anything of it. The knock sensor might not be my pulled timing issue, but it sure looks suspect. It must still be conducting, otherwise I'd expect a CEL. But perhaps with its sacred crystal inside exposed, jilted and dirty, maybe it's sending mixed signals. So I'm waiting for one of those and a new pigtail to come in. Pass side sensor looks good, except for the spark plug wire resting on it (!). The plug wires are healthy so it shouldn't be causing an issue, but I separated them and added zip ties to nearby looms to keep everything well apart.   So, I'm down to installing a knock sensor AND, oh, replacing the exhaust and cat. I actually think that's going to be fairly easy, it's all bolt-together, all new stuff from Walker is laid out on the shop floor ready to go. Hopefully have this thing on the road again for the weekend.   My luck? It will still be leaking oil, coolant, pulled timing, intermittent CEL for running rich, or it probably won't run at all -- because that's how this project has gone.   I've never worked on a vehicle so ...hurt? ...cursed? in my life. Everything has been effed with SO HARD, but I think...knock on wood...I've managed to undo all the backyard stuff and we're almost reset back to "just" an 80k mile, 30 year old Blazer.

      Would this CV Shaft be bad?

      Yes. You need to check out that thing, and the hub further.
