not really looking for the "upfitter" switches themselves.

I know GM has a bunch of different part #'s for their switch panels....

 

my truck curtrently has:

adjustable pedal , traction, cargo light, parking sensor, and downhill assist (each has their own switch)

 

does anybody know if GM makes one that is the exact same except with an additional aux1 or aux2?

looking to wire up some ditch lights and trying to keep the button as oem as possible

 

shot in the dark here but thanks

Four years ago, I made one up for my 2017 Sierra with seven positions.  Since I only had 3 positions used on my original switch bank, I was able to add Aux1,2,3 &4. I bought a 7 bank switch set from a diesel that had some of the switch toggles and another 7 bank switch set for the others.  I’m really pleased with the results even though I had to buy two sets. It looks totally factory. You could do the same for yours just adding Aux1 & Aux2, but you need the 7 switch board, switches and and housing. There  are instructions for doing this on the GM forum somewhere. That’s where I got the incentive to make mine. Sorry, it looks like my photo is upside down, it’s -34 here right now so I’m not going out again to take another one.

So the switches can individually be pulled out and replaced depending on what icons you want wear?

Those switch banks are not reconfigurable.

Garmin makes a switch system that looks pretty easy to use. Diode Dynamics has one as well. There are others out there as well. I looked at the Garmin setup for the Tundra but put the upfitter kit into my Silverado. It was pretty easy on my model year (and the buttons were already installed) but the 2024 and newer trucks makes it a bit tougher. I am not sure about the 2017?

    • 2024 l8t . Ac has never felt really cold even new. But lately it seems a little warmer. When it gets in the upper 80s and a little more humid it just does not keep up. And sometimes at idle it gets warm. My wife's 2008 envoy is better. My son's 2016 is colder. I have an apointmets for a third try Monday the 29th at a third dealer to try and get cold ac before my warranty is out. The first two told me something about so many degrees under ambient temp blah blah blah seemed like they didn't want to mess with me. This was set at low. Max air fan speed high. 87 degrees and a little humid.   .
    • It isn’t all that bad in the world with purchasing power versus quality. My first car had just basic equipment. My oil choice was conventional oil. The life expectancy was around 100K miles. During that time you could expect to change all the accessories. Today with inflation you can buy the equivalent. It comes fully loaded with 4 doors. The life expectancy passes 100K miles replacing no accessories. If reaching that milestone is your goal you simply follow the recommended service intervals. If you want more miles simply do more maintenance. When in doubt you can check the internet or YouTube for information. The selling of any product hasn’t changed since the beginning of time. The power of the buyer has. The price of the product hasn’t changed much with inflation. The buying public wants more. Competition and the buying public has put the sellers in a box. The greed is on both sides. You can still get more for less. You just have to do with less. That used to be popular. The buying public has changed . It’s the sellers that are trying to keep up. As Grumpy tries to inform the readers in this case with maintenance. If you want more. More effort is required. That information wasn’t available this easily just a few years ago. I believe the public has more power. Getting information is easier.
    • Gentlemen, I'm new to this forum. My question is, I thought I have read somewhere that the rear wheel liners for 2024- 2026 GMC Sierra HD3500 DRW can/will fit the 2023. I can't seem to find that information again and wondering if anybody has any knowledge if these will work or not with the 2023? Part# is 84892542. Thank you for any information. The GMC parts counter wasn't able to give my any definitive answer? 
    • Spacers aren’t safe anyway, so you’re better off just buying something else.  
    • Its because they have thread locking compound on them. I would bet money that they are actually reusable and not a literal TTY bolt because GM and most other OEMs don't trust techs and the end-user to apply thread locker properly in the same way they don't trust anyone to solder properly (and instead instructing crimps everywhere). Torque To Angle =/ Torque To Yield.   If you think dealerships or any technician replaces every 'discard' bolt in every procedure, I have a bridge to sell you.
