Figured I would share a mod I did recently, I installed a set of Boost Auto S-Series cab clearance lights on my 2024 Silverado 2500HD. These are an OEM fit and finish cab clearance light that adds to the menacing look of an HD truck. The kit gives you everything you need to install the cab lights on your truck, including wiring. Something unique about the Boost Auto cab lights is they have been engineered to be installed thru a round hole instead of the square hole like the OEM lights and other manufacturers. This makes installation way easier because a round step bit can be used to drill out the holes, otherwise if installing OEM lights, the holes need to be cut with a dremel to be square. Instead of using the Boost Auto wiring kit, I opted to use the OEM GM cab light harness because I had the pre-wired connector in my driver side A-pillar. If opting for turn signals in the cab lights, you'll need to follow the Boost Auto wiring procedure to wire those up to get the extra function of signals blinking. Here is my install video for anyone interested.

To signal the helicopter following you that you are turning.

Boost Auto sells a lot of products that have integrated turn signals. So theoretically someone could have a bunch of boost auto stuff and all would light up in sync. cab lights, mirror lights, running boards, and now even door handles. Just personal preference really.

Look GREAT boost auto parts are excellent products, the ONLY thing that I would suggest is to test fire them BEFORE reinstalling headliner etc.

Just in case.

Thanks for posting

 

Yes! good thought, I actually said that to myself as I was putting in the last few screws in the headliner...luckily everything worked great on startup though. It's really easy when tying in with the OEM harness to the connector in the A-pillar. Thanks for watching.

I wouldn't on purpose add more holes in my roof.

Looks nice. I personally couldn’t drill holes in my roof. 

 

Thanks. Not for the faint of heart, that's for sure.

So far so good, no leaks. The gaskets are nice and wide and sealed nicely to the roof. I'm not worried.

I have owned rigs that were from the 50's (Farm trucks) clear on up to modern day pickups and duallys and have NEVER had a leak, I agree it takes balls to drill on these $70-$100k pickups but I doubt any issues would occur unless one were careless.

You’re lucky. Tons of posts on this forum of leaking trucks. Same over on the ford forums. All from roof lights and sliding rear windows.

Here's a couple still frame shots of the truck all lit up. You can see all the other Boost Auto stuff I have on the truck. Mirror lights, and M1 light up running boards. I also have the Boost Auto heated mirror/signal glass installed.

Did you do the mirror lights too? If so, are they the smoked lens version?

 

Yea, they're boost auto mirror lights and I also have Boost Auto mirror glass. I don't think mine were the smoked ones. Just clear with amber sequential signal and running light

Thank you. I put the smoked sidemarker lights from Diode Dynamics in and wanted to do the smoked mirror lights as well.

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
