Have 1,000 miles on my 2024 Sierra.  Super disappointed in the backup lights.  Changed design from bulbs to leds and they are really weak and don’t illuminate to the sides at all.  If backing up at night there are major blind spots and the camera is useless unless you are backing up straight.  
 

anyone aware of aftermarket light upgrades or additional lighting kids to add more light when backing?

I just added these.  the lamps on my 2024 were pathetic and dangerous.  These are very bright and make a huge difference.

thanks.  Is yours a 2024 Sierra 1500?   My 2019 pickup used these replaceable bulbs but my 2024 has completely sealed lights with internal LEDs.  Seems like I can’t just upgrade the bulbs.

Hi Matt. Did you ever find a solution to this? I just bought a 24 Sierra slt and the back up lighting is pathetic. Seems like the lasfit as recommended in this post would not work on the 24.

Anyone have an answer on the sealed beam issue? I bought LED that are supposed to work. Not sure I want to mess with the sealed unit.

I too purchased a 2024 GMC Ultimate and i can say for the money spent it was short on options and features that I expected and wanted in my new truck purchase .

The reverse lights are next to worthless and very much need to be fixed by GM , not sure why they would think of making the taillight assembly into a single fixture with no options to replace individual bulbs/leds ? I imagine that a 20 dollar cost reduction was found ?
Other thing that bothers me is the lack to power fold mirrors automatically when locked the truck , really should be a software inclusion  .

Other suggestions.

1. air ride and load leveling suspension , with ability to raise and lower as needed .

2. having a stalk mounted lighting controls instead of dash mounted .

3. locate 4wd drive controls down to the shifter location where it makes sense.

4. when buying this i was very disappointed not to be able to purchase the volcanic red in this Ultimate version  [ why?]

5. gm should consider a full moonroof for this truck as having this little roof port is not befitting

6.  door mounted seat controls so you can see what you are doing , as passengers constantly turn on seat massage or lumber .

Rear lights are fine with my 2023. I can see everything with my rearview camera mirror. 

 

Air suspension would be a nice option. I had it on my Ram Limited. I got rid of it before the bags started to leak. 

 

I don't want anything else on a stalk. 

 

I rarely touch the drive control. Fine where it's at. 

 

The big pano roofs are prone to rattle. I had them on the F150 Platinum. 

 

I haven't had issues with the seat controls. 

 

 

Edit... Forgot about you saying the mirrors don't fold. They do. Look in your settings. That's how I check if I remembered to lock as I walk away.

Anyone have any updated solutions to back up camera issues at night or the back up lights on the 24 MY Sierra and Silverado?  I am flying blind backing my truck up at night.  The camera at night is pathetic and the back up lights are way to dim.  It's a serious safety issue.  I had my front windows tinted which makes it even more difficult to back up at night.  If I put my front windows down, I can use the mirrors, but the back up light is still barely useful.  With the windows tinted and up, there just isn't enough light back there to see anything in the mirrors.  I purchased my 24 SLT in July and really didn't drive it late at night much so the reverse lights and camera issues weren't noticed because it typically wasn't fully dark yet, but now that it's November and getting dark a 5:30 or earlier it's an much more noticed issue.  Any help or advice would be appreciated.

you have a lot of secondary lighting in that pic, try it some where with no extra lighting and when its raining out, then you will see how bad it is

It doesn't matter. It's plenty clear. That isn't nearly as bright outside. The camera aperture makes it look much lighter than actual. It would be hard to see someone walking in the street by just looking out of the garage.

I'll try to get a picture of mine tonight.  From what I've read this seems to be an issue with 2024 MY vehicles and possibly 2025.  It appears @Jus Cruisin with the good photo has a 2023.  I don't know what, if any change there was between 2023 and 2024.

Here's what I put in my '23 reverse lights when I got it new. Still in and zero issues, no codes, super bright. On Amazon.

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
