Bruh... Sounds like your trans is in limp mode. Double check those fuses, particularly the TCM fuse(s) to see if any popped while you were reinserting them. Sometimes an old fuse can be fragile and break when pulling and/or pushing on it. You may wanna check them with a DVOM cuz sometimes they can look fine.
Duh. I feel so stupid. It was the TCM battery fuse missing. I'm not sure where I put that one....into an unused spot that now has a fuse lol. What an idiot. That's why I don't just start pulling fuses, at least not until this morning. I'll reconnect the battery in the morning since it's dark now and this battery is hard to get to. Thanks man.

Please don't ruin such a clean truck with those lights! Everything about the truck is oem+, either do clears or retros!
I like the way it looks now. I'm looking at doing retrofits. I wanted to do those on the Denali but never got around to it.

Glad you were able to figure it out.

Not necessary the heads but some clean led tails would look ****. And personally I'm a cleared oem or retro guy myself. Just some ideas to modernize it up a little.

Looks good. Gonna get a liner for the hood or nah ?
Great, there goes another $150. So I'm thinking yes. It would look nice. :emotions133: I think when my tax return comes in, I'll get a few more things like that. I just found out my Blackbear tune went up to $325 from $300 to add a VIN to my Autocal. But it will be a piece of cake to do. It will be nice to not only firm up the shifting and add a few HP but calibrate the speedo for the 26's and turn off the TPMS since there's no sensors in the intros.

IMO There are way more AM taillights than heads.


Cleanest taillights ever IMO:

Custom job. IDK how to describe it, maybe clearing stock tails?
Take apart stocks and clear aftermarkets, rtv the clear lens onto the stock housing, tape and paint to hide the RTV.
Lot of work, but looks **** and very unique.

Yea I talked to that guy about how he did it. Aftermarket lens on stock housing. But that's too much chrome for Mark lol. Awesome idea, maybe if he painted the housing black or colormatch.

Exactly what I was thinking- some LED tails that look like stock or possibly smoked. But not crazy, just clean and simple. That along with stock retrofitted heads.

Yeah but chrome...I'd have to do something about that. Soec-D has some clean ones for about $300...
