40 views and nobody can give an answer?

 

Obviously no one has even given this any thought....instead of criticizing why don't you give it a shot and become the answer man! BTW, if you're talking about door panels, dash, etc., since they are a part of the interior, I don't think you're going to have much luck at all.

i believe the 2008 (gmt900) trucks are wider than the gmt800's by a few inches, an interior swap like that would be very expensive and prolly impractical/impossible

I'd guess it'd be about as easy as putting a Ford interior in a GMT800. It'll fit in the door, but that's about it.

:lol: Whole interior for $250? You'd be lucky to get a set of seats for $250 unless something was severely wrong... or you were buying stolen parts.

 

Oh, and just for your information the grammatically correct statement to make would be "No point IN getting a new truck...."

Hold on...if you are getting the whole interior for only $250 bucks, and assuming you have the time to do this, it might be worth it giving it a shot!

 

If it doesn't work, then you are just out of $250...

(you can even try to sell the used parts to get some of the money back.)

 

just a thought...

Even if the parts physically fit, I don't think there would be any chance that the controls (HVAC, gauge cluster, stereo) would work. GMT-800s used Class-II Databus for vehicle communications, GMT-900s use GMLAN. Totally different setup.

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.
