I know guys were switching the 2020-23 front ends from ltz and high countrys to the lower trims but i have not yet seen the new front end being converted. I have a 2024 Silverado 2500 LT coming that should be here in a week or so. Only took a year lol. I grabbed the harness from Gen5DIY. I got the part numbers listed below from my dealer as no part listings are online yet. I just am not sure on the grill my dealer gave me numbers for. I’m not sure if that comes with the chrome bars on it or not. It seems unusually cheap to have all the parts on it. They are also charging a core for the headlights when you order. 
 

85620357 grille. $481

85615608 front fascia $530 ( comes primed ready for paint )

86514718 headlamp $1319

86514717 headlamp $1319

 

listed incase anyone else is interested in the parts. Looking the numbers up online cheaper prices do come up than my dealer gave me. I will probably be going that route once I can confirm the grill. I will check with dealer tomorrow to verify the grill.

Appreciate the info. I've been mulling over led bulbs or doing the complete led headlamp/fascia swap on my 24 LT.

Did you guys do this swap yet? I have a '24 chevy hd custom I'd like to swap over to the LTZ and up front grill, lights, and fascia. Just wondering if anyone has done it yet and how it all worked out.

I ordered the headlights off of eBay for $900 a piece then ordered the fascia and grill from dealer both for under $1K. Waiting on the order from dealer due to parts being on backorder. Bought the conversion harness for headlights from GEN5DIY for around $400. Harness came in and I plugged the headlights in to make sure they work properly. They do no work on automatic you have to manually turn lights on. Both low and high beams work properly but only one led strip works. I have tried troubleshooting and led strip works properly when only one headlight is plugged in but when I plug both headlights in the led strip of one turns off. I don’t know if it’s a coding issue or harness issue. I’m going to attempt calling GEN5DIY to figure out if it’s the harnesses.

J1Walls, just in case you didn't check, but make sure the LED drl's aren't only coming on when the truck is in drive.  I swapped to the oem led housings on my 22' Custom and that's what mine does with the Gen5 harness.  I believe the trucks that have the led headlights from factory led drl's come on with the truck running, however mine has to actually be in gear before they turn on.  Just a thought.

J1 Walls thanks for the info. Do the headlights, grill, and Fascia all swap directly over? You should do a YouTube video of you swap. I can't find where anyone has done one yet.

I might be missing something but not sure why someone would pay more for an LTZ or HC then spend more money to change the front end to an LT. Why not spend less and get an LT in the first place?

Read the OP post again.  He has an LT and is swapping over to the LTZ face to get the new LED headlights they use, not LTZ down to LT face.

The thread title and first sentence in the OP’s post threw me off.

Did you get the front changed on the 24 lt? Mine should be here anytime and wanting to change headlights and grill for something that looks better. I like the older ltz model grill.

I can do a 2024 Silverado 2500 W/T, LT front end to the LTZ or High country front end swap for anybody in the north Texas area. I will charge $5,000 for parts and labor. Truck will be in and out the same day.  I will also do some earlier models as well.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
