Default LED Replacements?

Anyone have a list of the LED light numbers that will replace the bulbs on our trucks?

Mainly looking for exterior right now. Interior, maybe later.

Hope this makes sense.

If you are planning to replace halogen bulbs with LED "bulbs" be aware that some aftermarket LED "bulbs" emit RFI that can effect the TPMS and/or remote fob operation.

The list of bulbs numbers is in your manual.

For the 3rd brake light (CHMSL), this is especially sensitive to cheap LED bulbs and will greatly reduce keyfob range. Best option is the OEM LED part, which has better optics as well and is a huge improvement.

A user here just had range issues that were partially mitigated by removing cheap LED bulbs from that location.

One of my replies in that thread:
----
Try to find a used one by the part number or the engineering part number.
Here is one for $130: https://www.ebay.com/itm/314062536349
Another: https://www.ebay.com/itm/265326790545

Part number: FL3Z-13A613-B
Engineering part number: FL34-13A613-B (sometimes this helps find deals on eBay since people list by the number written on the part)

Be awhere that the cab light fixtures between factory LED and Halogen are different.
In the LED fixtures, the Lamps are not replaceable according to the owner manual as of 2018 so look at this for option difference before purchasing Lamps.
Also a program change may be in order going from Halogen to LED in the head lights and marker/stops and for flash rate.

Forscan can test each module.
If they come back all test pass, it was loss of communications over the Bus.
I have seen this playing around with the ignition key on and off cycling at close intervals and replacing a battery attempting to crank the engine on a low voltage condition.
Usually nothing to worry about.
In the DASH engineering display mode, you can see there are indications of code set when stepped to that data display.
After some drive cycles, this indication goes to zero if there are no real faults.
These trucks really have nearly all you need for on board diagnostics to get a good idea of what is going on.
Good luck.
