I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500 4X4 5.3L. The tailgate hinge broke so I was researching a replacement. One parts store I go to said he can get the old body style but not the new body style. All the other online stores don't ask if its an OBS or NBS. I called my local dealer and the want $105.00 for all 4 parts. If it's the right part I can get it from Rock Auto for $30.00 with the shipping.

I was wondering if this is for the NBS or not. Dorman #38642 OEM#s (15074252, 15074253, 15078745, 15078746) Thanks.

P.S. I probably could look at the #s stamped in the part, but I'm at work and would like to order it soon.

Are you really looking for the tailgate hinge (the steel parts welded to the base of the tailgate) or do you just need the cables that support the tailgate?

Very good question, I would like to know as well. Exactly what you're talking about.

The hinges on the lower left hand corner, and lower right hand corner. It consits of two bracket per side. One bracket bolts to the gate, one bolts to the bed. On the bed, one side is completely round, and the other is much like a cresent moon, to allow you to remove it. On the gate it has basically a round peg with flats on 2 sides. The cables are fine. Does that clear it up? Thanks.

I got my hinges from rock auto. FYI they are a brass like color, and for some reason I kind of like them.

      OEM Trailer Hitch Receiver - Impact tightened by shop

      By SoCal Angler · Posted

      After my recent rear end bumper damage, body shop has made the repairs and included a new OEM receiver hitch.  I started thinking about how it was tightened...to specs or by hand or ??.  I called the body shop and asked and they said it was tightened by an impact gun.  I said I wanted it tightened to OEM specs.  They said no problem, bring it to shop today and they will torque to specs, which they say is 74 ft/lbs.   A couple of questions,,,,   1.  Should new bolts have been used?  If so, how many are there (bill shows one and four (I assume different areas of receiver).   2.,  Since they torqued with impact gun and now are going to probably loosen and then torque to spces, will that damage/stretch the bolts?   3.  If old bolts were reused (truck has 9000 miles), is that a problem?   4.  Any other things iI may have missed with regard to receiver replacement?   Thanks!

      Defective Brake Pad Wear Sensor?

      By newdude · Posted

      Is this supposed to be in English?  "close to 100 fake, new brake pads sign on the dash board"     Pull the wheels off.  Check the brake pad thickness.  Check the sensors out.  You could have good pads and the sensors aren't in to the worn out position, but have an electrical fault with the sensor or the plug wiring to the sensor.

      Tomorrow I go in for my third joint replacement in jus a little over a year year!  I am not worried about the surgery but I am a little annoyed about going through the recovery process again!  I keep my frustrations to myself as I do appreciate that I am truly lucky.  Knee, hip, and shoulder replacements are routine, safe and improve mobility.  The next couple of days will be slow but every day following will see steady improvement in my mobility.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Practical Application ISO 4406   I think this oil cleanliness thing is going to boil down to ones personal resolve. The information is there but applying it I believe will test your commitment to the machine. Implementation would involve building or buying a prefilter or purchase of an "ISOCLEAN" oil. Then installing a single digit micron bypass system. A good deal of testing and about 99.9% of you are saying at that point....yea.....not my cuppa tea. So what can you do?    You already did the first step. Get educated and leave the bias at the door. Be aware of the its, cleanliness, importance.    Do your own work if you can. Keep the equipment clean. Not just your funnel but the engine bay. Use sealed containers. Think it through.    I believe you will find, as I did, that the tightest absolute full flow filters (Beta 200) will be around 20 micron. That will yield on average a Beta 75 of 10-15 micron. They are few in number by brand and price point. Loose filters are a dime a dozen and even the best brands have lines of loose filters. Some cleverly marketed as "Extended Service". Others will market flow over efficiency. But I think the take away once informed is that the extra cost of the best offered is a bargain. There are cheaper filters with good efficiency that are equal in performance to niche brands with big prices. Your Quick Lube is about a 40 micron unit. This is where your dealer is a plus. the AC-Delco filter is a good step up from those places. Even better if you specify the UPF line.    Be skeptical of marketing. Buying an oil that is made from GTL advertised as the cleanest base oil is using a truth to support a lie. While GTL's are made from debris free gas the processing equipment and post handling is just like any other oil. It also ignores the fact that PAO's and Esters are also gas in origin. Any private prescreening testing you would do, and some have done, would yield a result only good for the batch you tested. AMSOIL and Schaeffer's have built a reputation for paying attention to this detail.    Context. Cold starts account for at least 75%, or more, of an engines wear. But of the remaining 25% ish, over 80% is caused by particle count. Now where do we find high milage motors that use this type of information efficiently? OTR trucking!      Now, anyone want to build a prefilter or off line cleaning system anyway?
