3500 Tail Lights,


Recommended Posts

Posted

Does anyone with a new 3500 know the part numbers for the tail lights (the ones with the black trim around them)?  I really like the black trim around them better than any of the slotted aftermarket covers and might be interested in putting them on my truck.

Thanks for any info.

Thanks for the info.  Now is that the P/N's for the whole tailight or just the trim pieces?  

I took my truck in for a couple recalls this morning and the guy at the parts counter told me he couldn't find a number for just the trim and I would have to order the whole tailights, which were ? and some dollars each.  I don't really want them that bad.  

Thanks again.

So did anything ever come from this Tom?

I'm was kind of wondering about something along this line, but only I want the little light bar that is above the license plate on the new 3500's....

Kyle,

I havn't found out anything good.  I'm not paying that much money for each tailight just to get the trim.  GMpartsdirect.com had them for ? something, but that's still too much for me.  If I could get just the trim pieces, I would pay up to 40 or 50 dollars.  My second option is to get some Lund Eclipse slotted tailight covers.  They are basically like the trim on the 3500's except the horizontal parts the go accross the tailight are a little wider and the texture is different.  The Lund's appear to be smooth.

I looked at the light bar on a truck at the dealer also.  I think you could be able to get that from the dealer without buying anything else.  There are a couple pretty good size holes that may need to be drilled in the bed for it to be mounted like the 3500's, unless you modify it in some way so as not to have to drill more than neccesary.

I can't believe you can't get that trim piece seperate.  After all, they aren't all one piece.  Just doesn't make any sense to me.  I sure wouldn't pay that much money just to get the trim.  Maybe before long there will be some wrecked 3500's around that a guy could get them off of.  If I happen to here about something, I will see if I can get them for ya.

I was wondering what I would have to do to mount that light bar.  Last time I looked over a 3500, I completely forgot to look at that.  Guess I got distracted by something else.

    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
