I have a 2008 CC Silverado with 37,500 miles. So it's out of warranty. I need a left rear door actuator for the door lock. Anyone have the part # and best place for one?

I need the last 8 of the VIN to help me look up the proper one,there are a few different ones.

 

Also I'm betting with only 37,500 miles they would do a "goodwill" repair if you bought it from them.

I brought it in this morning and they informed me about the warranty. I don't hardly ever look at the miles I didn't even think about looking to see if it was over. Anyway 8G298365

I just had my replaced for free on my 2008 with 54,000. I called GM and told them about the lock issues. They gave me a service number and said to take it to the dealership. The dealership replace my front 2 actuators completely free and called it a "goodwill repair". Try this route before you spend you hard earned cash!!

I agree, I work at a dealer and we routinly will goodwill stuff. Especially if its a well known issue like the door lock actuators. We just did one on a 08 impala with 74k miles on it.

I have a 2008 Silverado 3500 last 8 Vin 8F202814.

$141.67 - Driver Front – 2587-6382

$132.17 - Driver Rear – 2587-6383

$154.55 - Passenger Front – 2587-6397

This is what I was quoted for the door actuators. How frustrating that GM didn't stand behind this problem. There are so many of us with this issue. I was offered 15% off at the dealership. I love my truck and this isn't the end of the world. Just thought I would share the part numbers

I replaced all there yesterday. I watched a video on how to remove the door panel. It was very helpful.

When installing the driver front left actuator, it was very difficult to get the metal rod that attaches to the exterior key.

I has to rotate the actuator horizontal and with both hands insert the rod into the hole. Once in, I then rotated the actuator 90 degrees to secure the rod. This process was very difficult to do especially since I didn't know the process.

I also thought the new part wasn't working since I couldn't get the door to lock after I installed it. In my haste, I forgot the truck will not lock the driver door when open. Only with the door closed will the lock work. Don't make the same mistake. I took the actuator out a second time thinking the part was bad. My mistake, oops.

The only tools I used were a small screwdriver, 10 mm socket with extension, T-30 torques. The process wasn't that bad once I figures out how to do it. Definitely worth the time. If you are mechanically inclined. The there doors with out the key lock were simple in comparison to the driver door.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      My brother has a 2007 Avalanche with afm 5.3. It`s got 176,000 miles. Runs like a clock. Never been apart. Co worker has a 2010 Tahoe with afm 5.3. 230,000 miles. Never been apart. Runs like a clock. So, even though cyl deac is a weak spot, they can go the distance.   BUT, these engines had the oil changed regularly, AND had 5w30 as spec. I wonder if they would have lasted this far on 0w20? I`ll bet not.

      I certainly could be wrong but I hear of pickups far newer than that 2007 cutoff which may not be going to the wrecker but are having engine work done and be that a reman engine or new engine or trying to repair the existing engine. Some of it would be design issues as per the cylinder deactivation system that GM has and one of those lifters wiping out the cam and the question of oil changes moving the needle or not on that whole mess, or in the case of Ford pickup engines that have the long timing chains and wearing them out and the roller followers and phasers and some of that certainly goes back to oil change intervals. But in those various cases the truck has all sorts of life left in it and so the unfortunate owner and may be original owner or used market owner that is pouring money into repairs so the truck is not seeing the salvage yard yet but damage is happening by infrequent oil changes. A friends son had bought a 2018 I think it is half ton GM and it had some sort of extended or used dealer warranty on it and of course the lifter issue bites and its rattling and so the dealer had to swallow the bill and was at least 7000.00 and I think they only replaced what they felt they had to replace so yeah, I can see that being a ticking time bomb in the not too distant future. Would frequent oil changes cure all these engineering "marvels", probably not but some engine designs have shown that they do much better if the oil is changed a lot more often then if the manufacturer service claims are followed. New trucks cost so much that there is an incentive to keep the existing truck on the road by repairing.

      Tranmission stays in Low

      get a good code reader, and find out what problems the truck has noticed by reading codes. cheap ones can only get basic engine codes, you may want to get one that can get codes from all the computers in your truck.

      This is sort of my point, salvage yards aren't overflowing with all these 'poorly' maintained trucks - excellent/good/servicable condition otherwise, salvaged only as a result of a bad engine from poor oil change regiment.    In my area, there are no 2007 to newer gm trucks/suvs in any salvage yards. A few are in the 'recyclers' with very obvious reasons for being there - wrecked.

      Stabilitrak conversion to Z71

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Stabilitrack was a stability control, traction control system, that functioned independently from the transfer case.   Z-71 has nothing to do with the transfer case or differential.   If it does have an AWD system, my memory recalls this being specific to the Denali trim, converting won't be as simple as swapping out mechanical parts like differentials and transfer cases. It will require reprogramming at a minimum. Long story short, not likely worth it.   Pulling a fuse, may disable the AWD system, it might also prevent any other transfer case functions.   However, the AWD case was generally based on the same transfer case you refer to in the 2006 Suburban. If it still has a 4-High and 4-Low where the transfer case locks and splits power 50-50 front to rear, what are you gaining by changing anything? A true-rear wheel drive only, what good will that serve? Not enough to go through the trouble of changing out all the parts.    Generally, all the factory systems will handle a 33" tire and re-gearing. Probably a 35" tire too, if you aren't driving like a caveman. If 35" tires are in the plan...   If you do plan on driving like a caveman or are fully committed to 35" tires, an entire re-think of the build is probably in order. Starting with square one, an IFS front end isn't going to be the best starting point for 35's and caveman driving.
