Whats up everyone, new here. I have a

2024 silverado turbomax. Bought a few new accessories for the truck one of them being a set of Led Bulbs for the headlights. I noticed there is no high beam bulbs. Also, I'm trying to remove the bulb and cant seem to budge. All the videos ive looked for and nothing comes up to this exact set up. Videos i find are for the heavy duty trucks or a couple years older. I have access from the hood and once u pull back the red tab. I try to turn it clockwise and counter clockwise and nothing. Also it doesnt have any rubber seals to pull back. Any suggestions?

did you look in the owners manual?  that typically describes how to replace the external lights, if they are replaceable.

It doesn't say. It points out to a model that has halogen bulbs. For anymore questions "contact dealer"  it says. i also saw somewhere that some models have a sealed led headlight. But I can't seem to conform this. Im able to remove the connector but the socket won't turn. Unless it not supposed to.

Headlight type is mostly driven by trim level, you didn't mention yours. But from your description and from what I've read in the 2023 OM, it sounds like you have LED's. In the 2023 manual, in the Vehicle Care section, page 358, it does talk about bulb replacement for the base trim level. For Mid and Up level trims it says only "...see your dealer".

 

Regardless, there's a specific warning in the manual that states "Do not replace incandescent bulbs with aftermarket LED replacement bulbs. This can cause damage to the vehicle electrical system." So even if you did have incandescent bulbs you'd not want to install LED's - at least not while still under warranty.

Sorry. I have a 2024. (Refreshed front) turbomax LT. Doesn't have halogen lights. I can see from the outside that the high beam has a couple LED diodes inside the light.

Time to return those bulbs then and get your $$ back.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By KARNUT · Posted

      I’m doing an experiment on a vehicle I don’t have much money in. I’m going by the premise that after they last 100K miles they were no mechanical problems with assembly. Or defects with the parts. With oil changes by the minder for the first 127K miles when I acquired it. I quickly went through low mileage oil changes then settled on 5k oil changes with close to 170K miles on the vehicle currently. I did have the option to turn off the cylinder deactivation. I didn’t on this vehicle because it’s in ECONOMY mode at least half the time. It should be a no brainer frequent oil changes are the key. The manufacturer gets away with the long oil changes with its severe service  maintenance. Just ask them what is normal.

      Hot air constantly blowing through floor vents, drivers side only?

      By baglie1 · Posted

      Even set to "recirculated", the air pushes out and is hot. I have noticed that sometime it doesn't want to switch between recirculated/vented air. Say it is set to Circulated Air and I want to switch to Vented, when I click the Vented button, it just quickly lights up/clicks and immediatly switches back to Circulated. It's done this a few times now. So maybe it is an actuator getting stuck? But then, that doesn't explain the hot air when everything is off does it?

      I wonder what the price is out at the coast, Big Sur or other out of the way locations as I bet they are charging quite a premium over the in land pumps.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Were you looking at the HD trucks on the GM website or the half tons as that makes all the difference. As far as I know there are only two options for the HD trucks and that is the standard 2 speed transfer case or the 2 speed transfer case that has the added 4 high auto feature and they put that transfer case by default into the LTZ and High Country although its optional in the LT and not sure if its available in the work trucks.    The half tons, that is where its been a total mess in my estimation for a few years now with most trucks below the top trim having the single speed transfer case as standard but with the option of having the two speed such as one would get by choosing the Z71 package, however then not being able to get the two speed transfer case with the towing package unless it was a higher trim truck AND had the 6.2 gas so one could combine the towing package gearing diffs with the two speed transfer case. Having said that if its a trail boss package then it gets the two speed transfer case but not necessarily able to get the tow package as it would depend on trim level and engine chosen. Believe me, people have bought the GM half tons assuming "of course it will have a two speed transfer case" only to find out after when they really pay attention to what they now own .... crap, there is NO low range !.    I don't believe Ford or Ram have gone that way yet with their half tons but like I say its been a few years now that GM has done this with the half tons.
