So I installed a set of "plug'n'play" high and low LED lights on my Custom Trail Boss 2024 and even though I was told by the manufacturer that a lot of clients installed it without any problems, I got an kind of hyperflash or fast flicker ONLY when the truck get in auto stop and then restarts.

So I contacted the seller and he told me that even though it was strange because it was the first time he heard that, I should install an anti-flicker module, which I did. However, even with the anti-flicker module, I still get the hyperflash when the truck restarts after an auto start/stop. The rest of the time, everything work fine.

Anybody already had a similar issue and/or have any ideas?

Thanks for the help!

What brand of LED bulbs did you use?

It is a local guy in Canada where I’m from that sells this brand which is kind of unknown, but I had some good comments from some local folks so I went with them. Probably should have chosen something else I guess : https://ledenligne.com/products/kit-led-chevrolet-silverado-1500-custom-trail-boss-2019-2020?_pos=2&_sid=cf8d63283&_ss=r


Same for the anti-flicker modules : https://ledenligne.com/collections/accessoires/products/decodeur-canbus-pour-led-haute-qualite?variant=18567027785826

 

Thanks!

I had hyperflashing on my last 2021 Trail Boss Custom. The LEDs I installed were hyperflashing on the turn signals. I also had hyperflashing on the license plate lights that I installed. Never used "anti flicker modules". In my situation I had cheap, sh*tty LEDs. I replaced those LEDs with Lasfits. Excellent LEDs no flashing and no modules. I now have a 2023 Trail Boss Custom and I replaced all incandescents with Lasfit LEDs. I did replace my incandescent tail/brake light assemblies with OEM LED tail/brake assemblies and had to install a resister wiring harness inline to prevent hyperflash on the rear turn signal LEDs. Got the resister harness from Gen5DYI. You obviously did not buy cheap LEDs $220 CAD. I would suggest trying to return your LEDs and purchase Lasfits (they have them on Amazon). This is not a commercial for Lasfit. They are just LEDs that I know work well.

 

I hope this is helpful for you.

Thanks for the hint. I might try Lasfit. Can you share a link to the exact ones you purchased for the LED low beams? Thanks again pal!

I realize this is an older thread… I just put Lasfit LEDs n the tails, reverse, side markers and license plate lights. Within a a couple days the turn signals started hyperflashing intermittently. Inconsistent. May stop doing it if I turn blinker off and turn it back on, may not. Anyone else have this issue?  Lasfit refunded my money and are very easy to work with. Just wish these LEDs worked properly. 2019 Silverado LT

I initially used resisters, for some reason the top lights wouldn’t be on when the tails were on. That was just as annoying as the hyperflash. I did resisters on all 4 tail light bulbs. Maybe should have just done 2?  I’m now on my 3rd update of lasfit lights. This last set did perfect for just over a month and now continue to intermittently hyperflash. 🤪. Lasfit is supposed to continue to update and replace as they come up w new bulb.

      Software Update

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am not techy at all but wondered if you have the truck running but sitting still in park as some functions gray out as soon as the truck is moving. I believe in the settings for updates you can choose for it NOT to update and I wonder by chance if maybe that was chosen before and now it won't allow you to chose to press update, I think that is back in the settings menu where it has all the items one wants on or off etc. Also I assume you have a wifi connection and checked that it has some signal strength, not that it would have anything to do with the grayed out updates choice in that case. What I am thinking out loud of here may be be of no value but thought I would suggest it, sometimes it can be the simplest thing that resolves an issue.

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

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      The so called rare failure that some certainly liked to tout ( die hard Ford fan boys ) as per the lifter failing and wiping out the cam. Back when it started happening the blame was being pointed to the lifters and honestly I never did hear anything myself conclusively one way or the other on that. Ford themselves in I believe 2024 had a technical bulletin I will call it that came out and for some engine platforms they were reprograming the engines idle speed but also they had a software update for the oil pump which then some time later was said what that software update did as to be increasing the oil pressure at idle. It is a good question if that issue was completely solved as one Ford specialist mechanic youtuber said he saw failures after that time period. Like anything there would be the variables, what oil is being used and the OCI and how much idle time gets put on an engine. I've seen some comments to claim that the L8T isn't so happy with high idle time either but I also know that companies that require their vehicle to idle a lot on the job don't tend to get the oil changed often enough for all those hours of idle time and go off of the odometer.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By bwiese · Posted

      My 2026 Silv. 1500 WT (reg cab/short bed/4wd) has the 40/20/40 with storage in lower middle seat as well as the fold-down center bolster/armrest.   With the dual glove boxes this is about as much storage as possible in a std cab IMHO. Bill

      2026 Silv. 1500 WT reg cab: how many speakers do I have? Is amp module separate?

      By bwiese · Posted

      I have a 2026 base 1500 "WT" regular cab with basic Chevy "Infotainment 3" 7-inch screen/radio. How many speakers do I have If I want to upgrade? Is the audio amp separate from the radio/display unit]? [I listen to classical and it gets a bit raspy at slightly higher volumes. Don't need a sub etc.] Do I have two or 1 speakers in the doors? etc. Thanks Bill  San Jose

      Bench seat swap for 2021-2024 suburban

      By davester · Posted

      probably won't get a response from that user, as they haven't returned to the site since making that one post.  users don't (at least I don't, and I haven't seen any setting which would notify me via say, email) get any notification other than going to this site, and checking if they got a response on their thread...
