  1. Try this - less expensive than a new bushing and works better anyway: https://www.amazon.com/Dee-Zee-DZ43102-Tailgate-Assist/dp/B003TYP48C/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=dz43102&qid=1599681675&sr=8-3
  2. Not the OEM one but this one is better anyway: https://www.amazon.com/Dee-Zee-DZ43102-Tailgate-Assist/dp/B003TYP48C/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=dz43102&qid=1599681675&sr=8-3
  3. What rav3 said. Tell your dealer to pull up PIT5405. It covers 3 or 4 electrical issues that can cause what you are seeing.
  4. I found this one but haven't bought it yet to try it: https://camera-source.com/catalog/product/view/id/2417/s/2014-2015-sierra-silverado-hd-replacement-camera/category/16/

  6. Mine keeps breaking and my truck is out of warranty. I can change the OEM bushing myself but the best price I found was $35 for the OEM part. I just bought 1 of these, took 10 minutes to install, problem solved!: https://www.amazon.com/Dee-Zee-DZ43102-Tailgate-Assist/dp/B003TYP48C (actually got mine at a local AutoZone with 15% off coupon so it only cost me $21)
  7. There is a procedure written for the Techs to reset the window motor resistance when they install in-channel visors. I don't have access to the instructions so I'm going from memory but it's something like this: Open window the entire way. Close window the entire way and KEEP HOLDING UP ON THE BUTTON for 5-10 seconds. Open window the entire way and KEEP HOLDING DOWN ON THE BUTTON for 5-10 seconds. Close window the entire way and KEEP HOLDING UP ON THE BUTTON for 30 seconds. Leave the window closed (and in the sun if possible) for 24-48 hours so the visor can mold to the channel. I'm not sure that is exact but it's pretty close. I have had the same visors installed for over 5 years without any problems.

  9. Just be careful -- not all the OE and ACDelco rotors are FNC. They sell "standard" ones, "coated" ones (not FNC but it is hard to tell that), and "FNC" ones, both in GM OEM and ACDelco brands. The FNC ones are actually very hard to come by. The coated ones are still very good and will last long too just not as long as the FNC ones. As a side note -- FNC rotors should NOT be turned down. Any shop that is doing that will definitely "smooth" the surface but they are actually removing the FNC (that's where the GM minimum thickness requirement comes in since it relates to the depth of the process into the steel surface). FNC is not a coating; it actually changes the metal properties to a certain depth in the rotor. After that layer is removed the rotors are basically just untreated steel and will warp/shred faster than even cheap auto store rotors.
  10. This! Stay away from Chemical Guys stuff, they are overpriced knockoffs. Adams stuff is pretty good. The Rag Company seems to have better quality towels. Also they have an agreement with Optimum Products for other things like wash soap, shine products, paint protectant. Optimum is what most of the professional detailers use.
  11. Well the first one is not a rendering -- it's the actual Hummer Hx concept that was shown at the January 2008 Detroit show. But since you ask, personally I like the second one. The last 3 just look like an H3T with a new grille.
  12. So does the mid-engined C8 Corvette. Doesn't mean it's a good idea ....
  13. This. There is a TSB out for the vacuum pump and some lines to be replaced. That's the only thing that will fix it.
  14. This is what I ended up doing: https://www.seatbeltextenderpros.com/chevrolet-silverado-seat-belt-extender/ Get the 3" rigid one in the same color as your interior and just leave it plugged in all the time ...
  15. And depending on where you live in PA you don't even need emissions so the annual inspection is cheaper ... ?
  16. Stupid question -- is the truck running? The 12v ports in the rear of the console are not powered when the engine is off (but the front ones are, not sure why GM did it this way).
  17. Just FYI: The tailgate emblem should work for 2014-2018 but the front emblem is different starting in 2016 (at least if these are for the 1500).
  18. Nice lineup! Where in Southcentral PA??
  19. Not if you have a 2014-2015.5 truck (at least not without changing out hardware) ....
  20. Just be careful pulling it off. I bought the same ones and didn't get them on straight. As soon as I tried to pull the first one off it spider-webbed terribly. I put the second one and it did the same thing!
  21. I'm in PA and the same here -- I have carried it in the glovebox with the registration for the past 28 years in 2 different trucks without any problems ...
  22. You can actually get it for $2 cheaper directly from CameraSource: https://camera-source.com/automotive-cams/gm-oe-fit/2014-2015-sierra-silverado-hd-replacement-camera.html I haven't tried it yet but am thinking about it.
  23. I am thinking about trying one of these in my 2015. It is supposed to be plug-and-play: https://camera-source.com/automotive-cams/gm-oe-fit/2014-2015-sierra-silverado-hd-replacement-camera.html
  24. I let my truck sit at the airport for days at a time when I travel and never have any trouble unlocking it with the app when I get back ...
