Hey all. I find my self in the market for new headlights. A reckless driver damn near ran me off the road, my front end met some road cones 🤬 

 

So I have a 22 LTD Custom. I had previously posted some upgrade options for the halogen setup. Now, since my grille/bumper is damaged, I'm thinking LT/High Country style led conversion. Been looking around and see a lot of info but, of course, I still have questions. 

 

Does anyone have experience with the gen5diy harness on non GM (aftermarket) led headlight assemblies? Will they only work on GM units? Any good info would be greatly appreciated.

      Ac not keeping up

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      My 2008 started exhibiting similar symptoms, wasn't 'cold' enough. I went through a pretty extensive diagnostic process for a DIY'er with limited OBD access. System evacuation and recharge included.   Noticed one day the passenger side was cold (I'm never over there so took awhile to notice).   Pulled the drivers side blend door actuator out, disassembled it and cleaned it out. Put it back in and did some kind of reset and it fixed the problem.   Long story short, it wasn't the A/C system at fault, the blend door wasn't moving to full cold position.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      By c4racer2 · Posted

      Just got in two back to back road trips of about 700 miles each with my new 2026 2500HD trail boss.  Really nice highway cruiser. Two very different trips - both loaded with gear for my band. First trip was to Durango for an event with Indian Motorcycle - saw some really nice bikes while out there! All mountain driving on back country highways - very pretty scenery - lots of hills along the way including a crazy pass that went up to 11,000 feet! Overall MPG for that trip was 15, speeds were typically 60-70 range depending on road.   This past weekend was into rural Nebraska, so mostly fast interstate (76 and 80) with some fast 2 lane getting to / from the final destination outside of North Platt. Speeds mostly ~80.  Also mostly flat although somehow dropped from 5K to 3K feet and then back up getting back into CO - didn't really notice it was subtle probably over a long distance. Overall MPG for the trip was 14.   Truck is still barely broken in - just got past 2K miles on the second trip. We survived some torrential thunderstorms in NE on Sat. night - especially driving to the hotel after the gig at 1AM.  Truck didn't skip a beat - I think the weight of these HD trucks really reduces the hydroplane chances.   All good - made it back to Denver area mid day on Sunday for fathers day.   I did a quick calculation to compare MPG and overall trip cost to my previous truck, a 2018 Colorado V6.  From previous experience I would have expected to see a 4mpg improvement on both trips.  Based on current gas prices which are starting to come down but still $0.75 to $1 higher than they should be based on barrel pricing, each trip was about $40 more.  Really not much of a concern in the grand scheme of things I must say.
