Yo!  I did upgrade from the stock garbage halogens with LASFIT.  I can't honestly believe they put those in from the factory.  LED fog lights but halogen high/low?  Dumb.  Anyway, Love the upgrade and cost was not too terrible.  Nice and bright but not over the top.  I only occasionally get high beams flashed at me.

That is one of the well designed items on the trucks. The up/down on the lamps are easily adjusted.  Its super easy with a long Philips screwdriver and it even has a funnel shaped top for us older guys with shaky hands.

LED bulbs in incandescent housings is a ghetto bandaid. The plastic housings and reflectors are not designed to disperse LED light. People see more scattered white light so it must work and be better right? No. It's ghetto.

 

Morimoto LED replacements (great black friday deal if you wait) or stock LED is the way to go.

 

Waaaawaaaa it's super expensive. Yeah, so is your $50k+ truck that came with garbage incandescents. Quit being cheap on safety.

Dumb response. I’d love the OEM headlights but the $4-5k it costs is not reasonable for alot of folks. Bulb replacements increase the safety factor quite a bit. If anyone is being cheap it’s GM by putting these crappy dull halogens in these trucks. Ghetto Bandaid or not, it’s an improvement. Morimoto may be cheaper than the OEM conversion but still not worth it when you can achieve the same benefits for 5% of the cost.

Keep justifying your bandaid at the cost of everyone else on the road. Who cares about them? At least you got that sweet glarey off-color look you were going for right?

I have LED replacements in my LT and they are not any of the things you state, in fact they are very much like the OEM LED's that my 2018 SIlverado 1500 had. 

I keep them aimed reasonable (I adjust them when towing) and have never had anyone flash me. My 2018 and the Equinox we have now will occasionally elicit a flash

Conflating brightness with increased actual down-road performance is the most common theme when doing just bulbs.

 

Just because they fit and they are bright does not mean they are working properly. Tons of articles online about this from actual automotive lighting engineers.

 

Does it do what you want for cheap? Seems so. But it's like putting a spacer "leveling kit" on a half ton. It may do what you want but that doesn't mean it's the right, best performing, long term success way to do it. Did I put a spacer level on my half ton when I had one? Yes. Did I argue the merits of it over the proper diff drop lifts and coil-overs for the price? No. 

 

But y'all do y'all.

2024 2500HD Custom. I have the Lasfit Pro DC as high and low beam and I wouldn't trade them for the best factory system I like them so much. I also have the front turn signal lights, the switchbacks, and their backup lights. All have been excellent for me.

I have Lasfit highs and lows on mine. They are awesome! They are really bright, like enough I get flashed quite often. I need to adjust them down like others have recommended. I debated about going back to stock on the lows just cause I don't like being "that guy". 

I had LEDs for both the hi & low beams on my 2017 Silverado HD. I had no issues about getting flashed, but driving during a snowfall (I live in (Ontario Canada) was terrible. W/ the low beams it was like driving w/ halogen or old school high beams on. So when I do the upgrade on my '24, I'll just do the high beams.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
