So, without endless searching of threads that may or may not be helpful - can I get some folks help me with some specific mods I can do to upgrade my 24 GMC Sierra 1500 Pro to do the following?

 Specifically, interested in what harness plugs are there for any interior upgrades like dimming rear view mirror/tow mirrors, etc.  May do the aftermarket radio upgrade eventually with the big screen setup, not sure if there are others that are common.

Searching is your FRIEND.  Don't be lazy.  LOTS of this stuff has been gone over now since this gen launched for 2019 and refreshed for 2022.5.  

 

 

The biggest hurdle is the platform.  Harness Dr. for example makes a bunch of stuff to upgrade but only supports the 2019-2022 Global A trucks.  2022.5-current are Global B.  You can check Gen5diy as well, they might have some stuff.

Mirrors, your only option would be Boost Auto.  GM stopped after the 2019-2022 Global A years supporting factory tow mirrors.  

 

Boost Auto | Quality Aftermarket Accessories for Trucks & SUVs

 

White Audio and Media for factory upgrades to low trims:

 

T1 GM Pickups (2022.5-2026) and Full-Size SUVs (2021-2024) (Global B)

 

As for lift.  If you have the Mono Composite Leaf springs out back, you MUST convert to steel springs when lifting.  Mono spring is not supported by anyone for doing lifts, including GM.

 

The Trail Boss/AT4 kit is nice but $$$, especially if you need the leaves.  But it does get you the CV axles for the front which are a must when lifting these.  If you don't like Ranchos, then skip the GM lift as it comes with Ranchos.  

 

You will need to change upper control arms for ALL leveling kits, no matter what the manufacturer of the kit states.  The stock arms WILL fail if you do not.  Proper lift kits might not as they keep the angles happy.  Leveling kits do not.  

 

If you want a great ride and not compromise geometry...stock IMO, and maybe change shocks.  

 

End of the day?  All of this stuff was one search away.  Also...sometimes its worth the extra $20-40/month payment, or same payment but a year or two older to just get the higher equipped truck and not tally up thousands trying to dress up a WT/Pro.

There isn’t much you can do with newer vehicles by design. My brothers Escalade just came off warranty. Even something as simple as oil changes can be challenging. He took it to a Valvoline quick lube instead of the dealership. They wouldn’t touch any newer than a 2019 6.2s.  And use anything other than the recommended oil weight. 0-20 only not 5-30 like he wanted. He ended up doing it himself.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
