Adding a 2024+ gooseneck wiring plug

What is the proper way to add a “factory” gooseneck plug on a 2024 HD? The truck seems like it is almost fully prepped with part number 86520227 which brings the wire into the bed. And then I picked up 84056018 which is the plug itself. Problem seems to be that the wires from the 865… harness don’t have a connector on the end to fit into the 8405…plug. 
 

What am I missing? I don’t want to get an aftermarket setup if the truck seems to be 90% of the way there already. Essentially seems that I just need to terminate those wires into a male plug which then connects to the 8405…bed plug.

It seems that I need something like this. Not sure if this specific one fits though

I saw that but sadly part numbers have changed for the 2024-2025s

Similar to what AndrewF said, on my 2024 2500HD, I used 84663240 harness, 84670050 harness, 84166962 retainer, and 25774623 receptacle.  Everything simply plugged together, no individual wiring.  All from GMPartsStore.com for about $152, including shipping.

Hmm so you used the same part numbers as pre 2024 trucks. Interesting, the gm parts websites say those won’t fit my 24 truck. But then say they fit a 2023 equivalent version so who knows

Just to bring this to a close, in my situation the Curt 56229 plug worked for connecting my existing wires to the GM bed plug. There may be other/better options out there (though this was Delphi made) but it worked and overall other than the wire connectors that were included seemed well made.

@AndrewF I am in the same boat as you were when you made this post. I want to add the wiring provisions in the bed, for a future gooseneck hookup. 

 

Just so I understand: You purchased GM Part 86520227(wire harness) and hooked it into GM Part 84056018 (receptacle). And then used Curt 56229 harness to tie it into the factory wiring under the bed? Sound about right?

 

Have any photos of the completed wiring setup?

 

Thanks in advance.

When I search for these two part numbers (below), it comes up as a 12v plug receptacle and retainer. Like the one inside the cab for a cigarette lighter.

 

84166962 retainer, and 25774623 receptacle.

My truck already came with the 86520227 wiring harness which is shown in the first pic above. But otherwise yep I bought the Curt 56229 and crimped the wires to that 86520227 harness, which then plugged into the back of the 84056018 plug. 
 

I didn’t take a pic of it all together but essentially it is the first pic with the screenshot of the curt harness in between. 
 

I think if your truck doesn’t come with the 86520227 harness I think you can get a different one (not 100% sure what part number tho) that will plug directly into the plug.

I'm not sure what harness is currently equipped on my truck. I has the factory tow controller and tow package with the 4 pin and 7 pin hookups on the bumper. But nothing in the bed. 

 

So you're saying in the little box in the bed where the wiring goes, there was already a wire there to hook up to?

Mine was the same, only had the hookups in the bumper.

 

Underneath that corner of the bed this wire (86520227) in the pic was already present and coiled up/taped together.  I had to unwrap it and feed it up through the opening.  

 

You'll have to crawl under there and see what you have.  It was fairly obvious to see in my situtation.

So mine had no wiring whatsoever behind that blank. I found a local RV shop that is going to install my B&W hitch and they do all the wiring too. They just did a 2025 2500HD this morning so they are very familiar with the process. 

 

Having it done tomorrow. Easier than me trying to diagnose and troubleshoot the wiring. And I don't have the time or help to install the hitch myself right now.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔

      cam upgrade in CA

      By AidenVorpagel · Posted

      hello I recently bought a 2012 gmc 1500 with a 5.3 and have a AFM disabler on it I'm interested in doing a cam but I'm worried if I remove the AFM system I will fail smog does anyone have info if they are able to detect that or a work around to it (not talking about hot smogging) please let me know thank you

      Possible lifter tick after DOD delete

      By B14Sierra · Posted

      Update. I started chasing down my symptoms. Started first with pulling valve covers and looked at everything. Everything looked good and couldn't hear or feel anything different. Then a compression test. 240 psi or really close on each cylinder. I was worried I was a tooth off of timing. Not bad for an engine with 173,000. Granted I did put new heads on. I sprayed water around the injector area to see if I could hear a change. Nothing. I hooked up my new hp tuner which I should have done in the first place but I don't really know what I'm looking at just yet but am learning. I noticed the fuel trims were way off so that told me I have to have either a bad injector or exhaust leak. New injectors, so I did the shop vac on blower and in the tail pipe. Sprayed soapy water and found the exhaust flange on the drivers side was leaking. I didn't think it would be that considereding I pulled the heads and left the manifolds attached. I did have the transmission replaced not long ago. They must have not seated them properly but I guess I didn't notice. I put in new gaskets on both sides. Which by the way isn't a bad job but I had a hard time getting them to seal right. Took two attempts. Reset the fuel trims and the ticking is gone, engine runs smooth and acceleration has improved. Got to feel the real difference with that stage 1 cam. It's not that big of a difference but it does add a little more. It feels like how the truck should have been from the factory.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Can it still be Assembled I?    Stribeck says that we need a certain amount of viscosity under conditions of load and velocity to prevent two surfaces of a know roughness from tearing each other asunder. And we have marketing trying to tell the masses that those two surfaced require less of that commodity due to more exact limits being placed on the same old clearances. We also know that there are limits to how hard something can before it becomes to brittle to be viable and to smooth to 'wet' the surface and that both of those conditions have been known and met since about the Second World War.    That viscosity value shook out at 10 centistokes at 212 F just under a hundred years ago.  Give this a look: [Anton Parr]     What is advertised is the Kinematic viscosity (mm2/s) or that which has been density adjusted but the value we are after is the dynamic viscosity (mPa.s) or true viscosity. You can see that this number is dependent on density thus base stock and temperature. You can also see that an SAE 30 doesn't reach that value in this example. However an SAE 30 that is at the upper end of the SAE 30 range; 12.5 cSt (mm2/s), might. 12.5 * .83 = 10.375 (mm2/s). If you could find an SAE 30 at the upper end these days.   Then there is the complication of viscosity modifiers or VII or VM, whatever you wish to call them. Polymers added to very thin base oils, perhaps 3 to 6 cP oils, that will meet the SAE *W30 spec at 'tested' shear rates and 100 C/212F  target temperature. So a polymer fortified base that is a fraction of the 10 cP requirement Stribeck insist upon.   This could be all well and good if those polymers didn't have two very problematic 'features'. They shear or loose viscosity both 1.) permanently and 2.) temporality. And they do both omitted in the advertised data with the distinct  purpose of deceiving the consumer of the actual operating state of the fluid. I've shown the example of Warren Oils COSTCO 10.91 cSt 5W30 formuation several times where the 100 C HTHS value is 6.9 cP!! That's the temporary shear down and with and SSI or shear stability index of 9.4 cSt. Note the intentional deception in using mixed units?    After a short while that 9.4 cSt oil has a viscosity corrected dynamic value of 7.8 cP. But as the SSI is still within the range of an SAE *W30 whose lower value is 9.3 cSt.    This allows them to continue to call this SAE 16 weight oil a 30 weight, the cake, and still meet the API requirements for fuel efficiency IMPROVEMENT mandated by the EPA. The eating of the cake. By the time you've worn out your motor doing the responsible thing by adhering to the warranty requirements, (the stick), you get deprived of the carrot, wear control. So sad, to bad.   So what can be done? Do I need actually say? [Anton Parr]       Even this must be monitored if the oil is on the low side and the VII an organic or you opt for a 0W40 with an even lighter base oil and more / higher MW VII. (Note the lower density of the 40 weight versus the SAE 30 mono-weight?)    There is another workaround. Temperature. An SAE *W30 run at a bulk temperature of between 180 and 195 F.    Being the belt and suspenders sort I am I do both. Run it cook and run it heavy.    In Part II I'll work the AW package.
