Yes. I have a 3500HD LTZ on order and was told the cab lights were not available.

Same here.  It's been off the list for a couple of months now.

Are you talking about the marker lights on top of the cab?  I thought they were required by the DOT because of the overall vehicle width.

Yes, and no.

If it was a requirement the OEMs would be required to install them as standard equipment.

 

Here's a somewhat decent written article aimed at pick up trucks:

If you still have questions, your local State Trooper/Highway Patrol office can explain further.

 

Hope this helps, as it's pretty murky and could use an update to the CFR now that our trucks have grown as wide as our office chair asses.

Has anyone ordered a new HD recently and been told cab lights are unavailable? 

Won't the drw's be required to have these? Maybe that is what constraint means in newdude's post.

Good question.  I can't remember a dually without marker lamps.

Just for fun I went to the build page, and selected the dually option.  As soon as I did, it added Cab marker lamps, and gave the warning about availability issues.  Would need a dealer to advise if the truck could be ordered.

Just for fun I built the same truck as what my order is, except as a long bed dually.  What a sexy beast! :thumbs:

There was a thread about a year ago where someone showed their installation project. Probably in this subforum.

I just texted my sales lady and said I heard scuttle about cab lights are out now - I said, don't hold mine up over what's basically decorations. She replied, "I would've called you or had them taken out to keep it going" ... and I said that's what I want to hear, leadership that can make decisions! She knows me and she knows what my deal breakers are, certainly isn't roof lights. But she has a lot of distrust and dealers all think they are just being lied to because GM can't deliver anything and staging lots are sitting full of half put together bag of jellybeans.

      2007 Silverado classic Cooling fan running

      By Mistycool · Posted

      I am having similar issues.. 08, 4.8L granted I did had a fender bender and minor damage up front passenger side but I don’t think it had anything to do with it.. I had the high and low pressure checked and my fan for my radiator keeps coming on.. replaced the pressure switch and don’t want to keep throwing parts at it. I did have some minor problems here and there like on long road trips sometimes the ac would get a little warm and then on the highway as soon as I give it a little gas or get a little heavier on the petal it started running cooler. Never had an issue with the ac besides the here and there.. but I also started having issues when I fuel up now it takes a bit to start ( super embarrassing) it runs fine and once started ( only happens after fueling up) starts fine any other time. Could they be related?

      Spent a small fortune on fuel this weekend.   $6.69 diesel, 18 gallons of that. $6.99 92-octane ethanol free, 10 gallons of that for yard machines $5.59 87-octane for one of the cars, 11 gallons.   $250+ and I didn't even get a tug.   Hormuz ain't Hormuzin again, did not see that coming...LOL

      Auto start stop disable

      Appreciate the advice. I've watched multiple videos. Most showing the most complex for those that have a center console, to one that showed maybe 2 pieces of trim being removed, like 6 screws, pulling back the screen and switch assembly, and installing the inline module. And this was a new/newer Silverado. That didn't look too bad. All the others show alot of trim pieces that need to be removed. I've broken those kind of tabs/clips on my C8 Corvette trying to get to the battery, and that was a lot less clips than what I think is involved here after watching multiple videos and looking at my dash today. I have one on the way. Called a reputable stereo place about installing it and got a "minimum" price of $175. Ouch! Looking forward to seeing what the instructions have to say.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Atlas · Posted

      Hard to say what the issue might be. Anything from the ability to cool the AC condenser up front, to blend door issues in the HVAC unit, to refrigerant charge, to compressor issues or issues in the lines.   Report back what the techs find on the 29th.   GM has service publications which list acceptable vent temperatures and AC pressures at given ambient temps and humidity. They probably won't touch the system if it's operating within those ranges.   I'm also surprised to hear your 2024 with the L8T is still using R134a? I was pretty sure the HD's had switched to the new refrigerant around 2020.
