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

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.

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
