Has anyone ever added safety packages after they already own it. I would really like to have lane departure  and front and rear notifications. I understand my mirrors would be need to change. For blindspot but I don't need or want. Just thought the front  and rear notifications would help in a busy parking lot. Just asking I just got the truck

thanks in advance

you need front windsheild cam for lane departure, lane keep, auto beams and adaptive cruise.  Hardware would be windsheild camera, windsheild, headliner harness, dash harness and switches.  Then for everything to work right you need programming if it can be done.  Rear cross traffic alerts is controlled by sensors in bumper step and I think that can be done.  front and rear park assist are the 4 circles on front and rear bumper there is a module that controls.

Thanks for the quick response. That helps a great deal. Ahh, Then I will go look at aftermarket or leave it alone. Just got it and already looking to upgrade it LOL 

Thanks again

i got addicted to upgrading. i added oem memory seat, power fold, cooled seats, heated rear seats, 360 vision, high country cluster, hud, video rear view mirror and power up down tailgate.  i already had cross traffic and park assist. i may try some day to see if it is possible to add windsheild cam i have some parts i am guessing some things will work partially but some custom programming will be needed if possible.

...you have to have decent chunk spent in doing all that, why not just buy an LTZ?. just curious

buying used parts to upgrade is cheaper than buying an ltz or hc.  had fun doing it. dont like chrome.  wanted white, hc only comes in pearl.

That would be fun. I will be looking into it. As for why I didn't get chevy is that they don't offer power passenger seats in any of their trucks so went with a GMC but ordered one but came in with less options then I wanted. So after waiting for a month for delivery. I took what they had to offer. It sucks trying to find and buy a new truck in today's market.

I have a 2021 Sierra Elevation. Is it possible to add memory seats to that truck? I also have the ior radio but want wireless Apple CarPlay. Do you know if that’s possible? Thanks

with ior radio probably not possible to add oem wireless carplay.  here is memory seats check your harness under seat to see if your body harness has all the pins if it does it will probably work doing what i did.

Where exactly would I check? there are two connectors going to the motors and two connectors going to the adjustment switches other than that the airbag connector...

Would love a detailed write up on adding this! I really wish I had the sunroof and around view option.

if someone can get me a part number on headliner harness from a T1 crew truck with windsheild cam i might consider trying.  the headliner harness plugs in under glove box.  there arent any at dealership for me to look at.

you need to check where seat harness connects to body harness. take side trim sheild off seat track and you should see that big connector.

The Lane assist Camera 84586312

The Headliner harness 84711898

not sure if that's the right harness, there are only two listed, one with vanity mirror and one without

I did and I cross referenced the pins to the GM electrical body builder guide and it seems to have all of the pins there.

 

I'm also wondering if I could just change the seat harness to the memory seat harness, I have power drivers seat and all leather already so I don't want to buy the whole seat...

The PN for the seat harness: 84513012 (With power, Without ventilated, With memory, Without haptic alert)

If I could just switch out that harness and add the memory module and buttons and such it would be way cheaper and easier.

    • I have a 2018 Silverado Custom with 156k on the odometer. In the last month I've replaced the plugs, wires and the driver side engine mount. My wife just returned from a trip of about 1500 miles and told me the brakes are making a grinding noise when applied. I drove it and looked it over and this is what I found with the driver's side rear rotor.   I'm going to order new pads and check about having the rotor resurfaced. Hopefully this is easier than the last 2 jobs.   Peace  
    • Any update if the new valve cover help with the oil consumption?  I have a 2014 GMC sierra and my truck is consuming a lot of oil so I’m wondering if replacing the driver side valve cover will stop some of the oil consumption. Thanks 
    • I bought belts and pulleys for my '20 L5P at Rock Auto a couple years ago. I have used them for many years, and almost always save significant money, especially when I buy maintenance stuff ahead of time.   They carry many OEM parts, which is all I use unless an aftermarket is shown to be same/superior, or if it is an insignificant part or unavailable OEM part anywhere else. RA is usually lower priced, often by a bunch, but parts are sometimes unavailable or out of stock, and I do shop around and sometimes find better prices at other sites.   Be aware that you pay shipping, and if you buy multiple items and they are coming from different warehouses, the shipping can kill the advantage. Planning ahead is best if possible.   If you have a transmission service in the near future, check out their OEM (AC Delco ULV) fluid, usually MUCH less than anywhere else.
    • New member here, very long time occasional guest. Saw this thread, thought it would be a good time to contribute someting. It is only my experience and not a claim that everyone will have the same.   I bought my '20 3500 L5P new and have put 99.9% (literally) of it's current ~400k miles on it myself, with over 50% of that towing loads between 4k to 15k, and to me this truck has been nothing short of amazing. For the first 235k I had zero issues, and from there until 321k I replaced a NOx sensor, two failing glow plugs, and three of the notorious injector connectors. I believe this truck is in part, a testament to good luck, but also good care and following a decent maintenance schedule (I also keep meticulous records.) As a result, it looks as good as a well cared for 70k rig, up and down, inside and out.   At some point before that 321k mile mark I began to get a little spooked about the 10L1000, especially the valve body. Word of mouth about potential issues prompted me to jump on the net to sift through all the noise and determine what all the fuss was about. I routinely take long trips, coast-to-coast and points in between, so roadside breakdowns can be '...a thousand miles from nowhere' and a bit of a challenge, and though I had no issues, my guard was up and activated.   And then I stumbled across a chance to salvage some parts off a new 2025 that had been wrecked in transport. I grabbed a few wear items (alternator, pulleys, etc.) and on a whim asked what the ten speeder would cost me. It was cheap...really cheap. I knew some changes had been made in the '24+ version 10L and were supposedly not compatible, but I called service/parts at my local Chevy dealer and asked why and they didn't know. A call to a well known aftermarket transmission outfit revealed it was very likely it would be fine, but to them not 100% sure.   Because it was cheap (really cheap) and I was spooked, I took the chance. Had it installed by a local shop and it worked like a champ, shifted just like the original. At it's first service at 37k, I had the shop put in a Next Gen valve body kit, which after some initial hiccups and rough shifts, smoothed out though with somewhat firmer shifting.   All that said, I have a very serious concern about my newer transmission as just two weeks ago it suddenly began to exhibit a strong reluctance to engage forward or reverse. It was a bit past due anyway so I took it in for service. The reason it was sticking was due to 'glitter' in the fluid clogging the filter...not good folks, often indicates a converter giving out. We ended up going ahead with the new filter and fluid, first to see if it would move and shift, and then if so buy me a little time. It did, and I've driven it over a thousand miles and it is shifting smooth, no noises or slipping. Regardless, it looks like a third gearbox is in my future so I can resume taking long trips with some confidence. In the very short term, my curiosity will have me examining the fluid to check how much glitter has reappeared.   An earlier poster had alleged, in the context of 10L100 failures, that it is another example of how we seasoned citizens somehow descend into hysteria, lose control of our senses, and react irrationally after brief encounters with the idiocy of the internet infosphere. Let me say (and I have used and abused said internet since it's infancy) there is no segment of the populace that has a corner on over-reaction to digital garbage. Just as my offering of experience in this arena is purely anecdotal and should not be considered gospel or all-encompassing, I believe it is still worthwhile information to consider, along with other relevant anecdotal experiences about things like complex transmissions, especially when balanced with other sources.   So to answer the original question, yes I got high miles out of my first 10L, trouble free for 321,000. Now I really wonder how much longer it would have went. Did I 'overreact' to the internet ghouls by replacing a 'good' one with a 'bad' one? Maybe. Who knows, the thing might have taken a puke a 100 miles later. So I'll just fix it again, then move on and start thinking about all the other stuff that will eventually wear out. It still has the original brakes (they're at ~60%), original injectors/pump, turbo, water pump, etc....pretty much original everything. Knock on wood.
    • At peak temperature.  They get to cool down and warm up more, especially those with the external cooler.  I have three GMT900s and one of them has over 225K on its original transmission.  Fluid gets changed about every 36K miles, all of it.     It's not the bean counters, it was the government.  They had to meet CAFE standards and other government requirements.   To get around that, we tune them and modify them to our liking.
