Anyone making something as a replacement for the JUNK that is on the new models?  My 2020 fog lights actually lit up the ground and my 23 does nearly nothing.  I'd be better off with a 3 D cell Mag Light taped under the truck.

Check with Diode Dynamics, I have their top of the line clear fog lamps on my 2021 Silverado. These are the best fog lights that I have ever seen and don't blind other drivers. They work great for driving on dark city streets. The only negative is that they are very expansive.

The lights are actually VERY bright.....it's the stupid strips of plastic across them that screws that up.

There's a guy on the Tube that removed it and didn't notice any difference.  Can't seem to find the video now but it's something to do with the lens.

Don't see anything for the 23

 Aftermarket plug-n-play for T1 GM trucks in general is pretty weak overall. I did all my lighting (except Diode Dynamic fog light kit) as DIY.

 

Refreshed is even less as far as I am aware.

Yeah, it seems that in many ways, my refresh is a downgrade.  My interior door handles no longer have lights, fogs are junk, shifter configuration is janky (who thought pushing forward would be reverse instead of park?), backup camera intermittently doesn't work, truck turns on parking brake when on the slightest incline......  

 

Might end up going back to a 2020.  The only nicer thing on this is the larger screen

I have a "foggy" backup camera on my 23 T.B. but not the cool large screen.

This literally gives me an error message now and then with a black screen.  "foggy" would be OK :)

I'm  with you on the shift pattern.  Push forward to go backward and pull back to go forward?????  Guess I'll get used to it someday but I don't understand the logic.

It doesn't bother me that much.  I mean most all center console shifters going back years, forced you to move the shifter forward from drive to do reverse, so it follows the logic.  It's more that Park was moved to the vicinity of the neutral position.

      The Peckish Synapse

      Well that book won't sell many copies. Taking ones right foot off the loud pedal never gets applause. Funny really, It isn't that people don't know what to do...they just don't want to do it. But they will complain about it. About bad craftsmanship, about the cost of fuel, about the cost of part and repairs and mainly they complain that the solution while still possible isn't one they are willing to do.    I observe this daily. 'Gas cost to much!", they wail, while they mat it passing at 80+ mpg and scoot down the road like gas cost a dime a gallon. Then complain about the few that will lift and save both fuel and iron like they are owed and own the road.    Good thing they haven't an ounce of influence on my equipment. The rest I just laugh at. Stupid is as stupid does, right Forest?

      Gas Prices

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Today I filled up with 4.899 gallons of fuel at a cost of $4.899 a gallon. $24 bucks. 290 miles. 59.2 mpg. After my 4% COSTCO discount just under eight cents a mile.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.
