Thanks!

Hey, thanks for the response, however I cannot get the center plate out... Just to confirm (for me), are you referring to the small (and appears to be removable) plate that is about 1/2" x 2.5"? I tried using a small screwdriver and only messed up the entire plate. I cannot for the life of me get it removed, without severely damaging it and the sides of the actual cover plate. How does it remove, and when I do take it out (and presumably find screws in there) - where do the screws get screwed back into? That cover plate is closer to the front window, and the part of the trim piece that is hanging is by the sunglass holder, which is way further up. How do you get the screws back in there? There's no access point to put them... Just wondering about that.

Hello all, a picture is worth 1000 words, so here it is. Just wondering specifically if someone knows how this is attached; the front of it (by sunglass holder) mysteriously just unclipped and is hanging down... Wondering how it clips up, and how to remove/replace and put new clips in (if necessary)? Anyone know, or is there a schematic of how the clips work? Pushing it up doesn't do anything, just comes back down... 2019 GMC 3500HD (2015-2019 body style).

Hi all, I have an LM2 (2022 my) 3.0 duramax and for the previous oil change I just used the AC Delco 0w-20, with part #19370138 on previous oil changes... For some reason, it appears that our local parts store now has it under a NEW part number 19370139 (only the last digit is different). Does anyone know if it's the same oil? Anyone else noticed this? One of the Rockauto pages says it's not warranty approved anymore however I can't understand how that could be, as they still sell it for my truck, and it shows GM Genuine OE on it. What are you using (for those who do their own servicing)? Notice the first 2 photos (are of the existing oil that I've ordered and have been using) - PN 19370138 The bottom 2 photos are of the NEW oil - also Dexos D - PN 19370139 The DexosD license number on both are exactly the same, but not sure that matters... EDIT: I wonder if it has to do with the labeling? I live in Canada, and it appears the stuff I had used has Spanish on it, while the new PN appears to have french on it (for us in Canada). For those who use ACDelco OE oil, which PN do you use?

Thanks for the input. Yeah I had air suspension in my old sequoia. It was nice in some ways, but just too soft for my liking. E rated tires also make a huge safety/handling difference, next down from that would likely be shocks etc. For most manufacturers the payload sticker is on the tire placard. I only have room for one vehicle of this type, so getting a 3/4 ton for no more than than 1% of my driving isn't feasible for us (at least right now). Re the EQ hitch - I already have an andersen hitch. In general they're great yes - but they have some weaknesses too (I've used them on several trailers in the past). Either way - proper load levelling is going to be a priority. I need the extra rear load room of the suburban (Tahoe won't work), and with the added wheelbase of the sub I think this likely more than makes up for that in terms of stability from what I'm guessing. A quality EQ hitch will really help. My question though was a bit more to do with levelling the potential load, and if anyone knows any manufacturers of any stiffer shocks and potential overload coil spacer available already for these? The coil spacer makes a dramatic different in my expedition. I was looking for something like that along with stiffer shocks (Bilstein etc)? I'm guessing it won't be much longer before these will become available, but I haven't found any yet.

Interesting. Ok thanks for the heads up. I didn't realize this.

What do you mean by "get a 1500 max trailer duramax when that comes out"? Is that a different model? Is it going to be a heavier built model?

Hi all, I'm currently not a suburban owner (have an Expedition EL) but was looking at the new duramax diesel suburban/yukons. I'd probably look towards an LS or LT model as I want a higher payload and don't need all the extra crap etc. First of all I want to say I know I really probably need a 3/4 or heavier application that a suburban can provide, however I'm hesitant getting an excursion or older duramax swapped 2500 series suburban. Mostly due to age (I don't want issues etc) among the other reasons such as fuel economy when unladen etc. We've a family of 5 but usually travel with at least 2 other passengers (7) plus a dog. Hence the need for a very large vehicle. We are looking to get a light toy hauler - but when I say light, I still mean one with a GVWR limit of lb loaded around 9000lb - maybe a very max of 10k, but likely less - (probably about 6-6500lb dry). We will be over the payload and design limits of the 1500 series suburban. My Expy is getting high in miles now and I want to get out of it - it is setup for towing with bilstein 5100s and a rear overload coil helper (Sumospring coil spacer) that works wonderfully with added weight plus E rated tires, stronger wheels etc etc. I noticed that the new Suburbans and Yukons have a similar suspension setup as the ford, with rear coil and struts, (rather than coil and independent shocks) which I'm not a huge fan of this new setup as I can't get heavier springs/shocks independently. By the way, I'm not looking for comments on being over limit as I'm fully aware of this already, or "you should get a 3/4 ton" lol - I already know this - as we wont' be towing more than 1000 miles/yr (at very most) the rest is all unladen, and I don't have room for a truck and I need a 7+passenger. I'm more looking for some comments around if any companies make any suspension upgrades to help support additional weight, and also some comments from others that have a newer suburban that have tried towing a bit heavier, and what it is that you used? Any comments on this would be amazing, Thanks!
