Door Handles?

Hi everyone!

 

I just recently (as in less than 24 hours ago) bought a 1999 2500 quad-cab for an absolute STEAL. She's going to be a great upgrade in terms of towing in comparison to my 1500 Suburban, although unfortunately not diesel. :lol:

 

Her main issue is....somehow almost all the door handles are broken. (The front doors worse than the back doors.) You can't open them from the inside, and from the outside you have to kinda wiggle them a little bit...and the doors take a good slam before they're closed. This happened on my car, and it was just a broken metal clip inside that held the inside/outside parts of the door handle together. Totally not a big deal.

 

What IS a big deal, however, is that I can't seem to FIND any new door handles to buy online! All I am finding are the more "modern" looking ones, where you grip the bar and pull. (The outside part.) This truck has the more "old-fashioned" ones where you slid your fingers under the tab and pull upwards. I can't find them anywhere!

 

I'm a Jeep girl, so I know all the Jeep part websites...there must be some for GMC trucks specifically, yes? Anyone have any links that might lead me in the right direction?

 

Thanks in advance!

Ebay is your friend. :lol:

 

If not, I'd consider going to the dealership or a salvage yard.

 

Congrats on the new truck and welcome to the site.

Couldn't seem to find any on Ebay, just the ones with the pull-bar on them. The dealership is my next stop....maybe if I can get the part number I can find the part elsewhere without paying dealer price$$$. :lol: I'm going to the salvage yard next weekend hopefully to find a leather interior in good shape, and was thinking about grabbing some handles there....but those stupid, tiny, easily breakable clips that hold

the whole inner/outer door handle assembly together are such a pain in the butt to deal with!

Sounds like you need to adjust the door lock striker and you may need to replace latch assemblies as well. There are probably plastic clips that attach the rod assemblies at the handles

 

Thanks for the links! The first one is just what I needed, with the black pull-tab one on the bottom right.

 

Edit: Hmmm, except that now I'm reading that that one is for liftgates....guess that's not it! A trip to the dealer it is!

1999 is a split year for model styles, GMT-400 & GMT-800.

 

The GMT400 Chevs that year were marketed as "Silverado Classics". I'm not sure what GMC called the Sierras.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By newdude · Posted

      Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
