Evening everyone, name is Dave and new to the forum.  Long time member over on the Duramax world, as I have a 2012 2500HD as a personal vehicle.  Recently was issued a 2021 2500HD Custom with the gas burner for a work truck.

 

First thing I ordered was the 9L7 upfitter switch kit (has new knee bolster with the 5 AUX switches, and all related wiring and fuse block).  Over on the GM Upfitter site I grabbed the latest Body Electrical PDF and poured through it.  Looking for assistance specifically on circuit 6821, a white and violet wire in cavity 4 of the X260 Aux Fuse block harness.  From what I can find the Surveillance switch signal is a provision for law enforcement where a user supplied switch toggled to ground will disable all exterior lighting and interior dome lamps, as well as dim instrument panel lighting to a minimum.  I am always one of those guys that rolls the headlight auto switch to the CCW position EVERY time I start as I hate DRLs or the truck doing ****** without me telling it, etc.

 

Anyway, when climbing under the dash of my truck I found that position 4 that should have the white and violet wire is empty.  Curious if anyone has dove deep into this and looked for such a wire.  I fired off an email to GM Upfitter assistance and will see what I can get back.

 

Also, I attached a picture of something odd I found under the dash.  An interesting splice to a small heatshrunk board, with a signal to ground.  Checking the electrical manual shows the signal being spliced is for brake light circuit.  Not sure what to make of it as it clearly looks like an after thought on GMs part.  Curious if anyone else sees something similar.  My truck has a build date of 07/21 - probably one of the last 21 models to be built.

Just to throw some information on the mystery splice - it is a dealer installed flasher unit for the 3rd brake light.  Pressing the pedal causes the CHMSL (3rd brake light) to pulse a few times before going solid.  I unplugged the ground reference from the T-Tap and tested it and confirmed.

 

Still looking for any information regarding the surveillance switch ability and related information on my original post, if anyone can assist.

 

Thanks!

      Gas Prices

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
