Would Fogs Be Plug And Play?

Seems like everything is plug and play now adays. I have a 08 Sierra WT and want to add fog lights to it since the black holes in the front is kinda ugly. The fog light switch is already in the cab. Does anyone think or know for a fact that all the wiring would already be in place?

 

If so, where would the wires be located? I tried looking near the headlights but, there is a bunch of brackets and junk over where the headlight wiring is and I can't really get a look. I am not real auto savy and don't want to start tearing things up under the hood especially for a lost cause.

Anyone... Bueller?

 

 

im running into the same problem. i've checked many forums and cant find where the plugs are in the engine bay. i've pulled off the fuse box and found where the fuse connects, so on and so forth. but im at a stand still.

all the wires that come from the headlight harness seem to connect to everything.

but i have the relay the fuse and under the there is a green and white wire that goes some where.( it looked like the highbeam).

i have the fog light switch(ordered and installed) and when i push it in, the dash indicates the fogs are on (although there arent lights hooded up yet)

sooooooo when i find out, i'll post it here for ya.

I'm sure they are, that's why it's a kit, GM is not gonna make a fog light kit to have you cutting and tapping wires.

i installed gm fogs when i had my 01 silverado, all the wires and everything were there but the thing i had to do was go to the dealer and had them turn "something" on with a techII, all worked after that. Now with my Z06, i installed the factory fogs and that was it, no programing or anything...

Have you checked around the fog light openings?

 

+1, I can't say for sure they are there, but my guess is if they are, they would be down around the fog light openings.

not really, if you buy the end caps, fog lights, switch, harness you would pay over $500 and you still have to paint the end caps.

      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. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
