Hi all. I just joined this forum to help me with upgrades to my newly acquired 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE. It features the X31 off road package along with 20-inch wheels and factory 2-inch lift. I installed the factory performance exhaust and have a cold air intake on order. I just ordered a factory fog light kit and am looking for the installation instructions. I know I will have to have the dealer program it but no issues there. I looked on the web but so far, I have not found them. Can anyone help? Thanks for any help you might provide.

Welcome to the Forum, nice looking truck. The factory system is cold air intake so all you gain by changing it is looks

Thanks. I think I will just buy the K&N intake tube to get rid of the big factory air tube.

Those are all dealer installed options. 

 

Did the kit not come with install instructions? It is my understanding they do then you get a code or something to take to the dealer for them to program.

The instructions do come with the kit.

 

Its not depicted in the instructions, there are 2 plastics locks on the sides of the green(green for me) fuse block that you need to remove a connector and add a connector, you HAVE to remove the locks prior to pressing the release pins/captured connector. 1938322030_Viewrecentphotos.thumb.png.67fd24a952bb23463ce1b9aa2c8b1e05.png

Thanks, I was under the impression that the kit did not come with install instructions since it is supposed to be a dealer installed item. I do not have the kit yet. Just ordered it this morning. I hope it comes with a code since I ordered it from a GM online dealer.

It SHOULD come with the instructions, but I know some parts just say ask dealer for document BLAHBLAHBLAH for install instructions. My fogs came with the instructions and the code. The problem is the dealer wanted to charge at least $150 to ACTIVATE the fogs, even though I had installed the kit myself and all I needed them to do was activate it in the BCM. I thought the whole point of the code and paying out the nose for the GM kit was that that cost INCLUDED the BCM update to enable them. It pissed me off so I used a diode to jump the parking light trigger to the fog light trigger so the fogs come on and stay on any time the parking lights are on.

I spoke to my dealer before I bought the kit and he said that he would activate it. I also have some other things I want to update so I will see if I can get them to give me a break when I take it in. .

$150 is probably the minimum charge they can do. I stopped at a Firestone store yesterday  for air in a low tire and they said if I pulled into the bay they would have to start a workorder after they said the hose wouldn't reach out the door, it was plenty long enough come to find out

      Yes, you must have seen my thread on the Blazer. HOT GARBAGE, but I love them anyway. I'm convinced every car guy has a soft sport for an S/T series somewheres. Probably even a Panther too, if I'm being an honest car guy. That doesn't mean they aren't junk. And they definitely don't get better with age. I sometimes play with old cars, but that's by choice. I don't rely on them and they aren't my everyday fleet.   Derek plays the common man on Youtube and that's no doubt where he started. Now he has Youtube money (and Motortrend, etc). You think his crews and his wife ride around in old beaters when they're chasing him and his wrecks across the country? No he's got newer and nicer stuff for that, you'll see glimpses of it in the footage.

      You refuse to own anything made in this century yet you reportedly own... a 2007 Silverado, which is now almost 20 years old. The dissonance.... turn up your hearing aid?   You clearly don't understand the government contracting process, brother. We send people to die on front lines, keep the public safe, and make people's husbands, wives, children enter burning buildings with equipment from .....wait for it.....   ...the lowest bidder....   Just because something is used for a long time doesn't mean it's good. But it might be cheap and plentiful.   Please, continue to whine about new trucks in a thread dedicated to new trucks, which you've said you'll never own. We get it. Go tell everyone how you're stuck in time on a Panther forum. I mean, Jesus, an 86 isn't even one of the good Panthers.

      It really is comical when people don’t agree or see the reason some people prefer the older vehicles. They become condescending. All the while they may be busting their knuckles on old vehicles. I have found memories of swapping out engines in my old GM cars in a weekend without much hassle. Unlike today. One wrong move a computer will shut you down. Even on something as easy as a brake job. There’s a pretty comical YouTuber called the car wizard. A garage owner who puts it all in perspective. Another Vicegrip garage that’s shows just how tough the old stuff is.

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.
