It folds down I believe

That would be my guess.

 

I broke a fog light mount a few weeks ago plowing through the snow so I ordered a new one from Rock Auto. Also took my cigarette outlets apart to add new covers. Ended up breaking a tab on the one so I ordered two new ones from Ebay that come in the GMT900's. Looks like they'll work after checking everything out.

That was the first thing to break on my Silverado with less than 1,000 miles on the clock, in the second week of ownership. The rest broke one by one not long after. Cheap PiecesOS. Never seen such a flimsy piece in my life. Hope they fixed that problem by now.

Good thing they're cheap I guess. Never broke one in either of my 900's, but I was extra careful because they didn't seem to be the strongest things I've used. Edited by Daryl Z71

Damn $12 I had to replace one and it was less than $5 at the dealer

I was too - and they still all came off in my hand, right at the hinge. Damn things should be .50 cents each - about what they're worth if they haven't improved them at all since '07.

Same thing happened with my Ex's Cruze, but it was with the sun visor. All boils down to cheap plastic junk.

Installed a freshly rebuilt alternator. The ole' 105 amp kicked the bucket at 160k. So $75 dollars later I'm sitting with a fresh power maker. Now to install the new belts since they have 100k on them.

 

Was looking at new plug wires as well. Man the original AC/Delcos are expensive.

Can get a set of Densos on there for about $40. Delcos are almost $12 each.

I always run NGK personally. No Bosch though, too many issues I've had with them on truck parts. Make good drills, not so much for vehicle parts in my experience lol

      Differential covers

      By RJL1 · Posted

      I just brought home a 2020 GMC 1500 Denali.  She has 53K miles on her and I want to change out the fluids over the next few weeks.  I see the diff covers don't have drain plugs.  Any suggestions where I can pick up front and rear diff covers with drain plugs?   Thanks,   Bob

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Well, the dealership got the compressor and installed it. Air at the vents seems nice and cold as it should be. The service manager said the repair has a two year warranty and unlimited mileage. Hopefully I don't have to use it. The dealership i went to was one where I bought my 2014 half ton silverado. In 10 years and 168k miles on the truck anything I needed done and two small recalls they were always very good to me. Not a huge dealer either. I think they treat people well because they want you to come back. I have dealt with a different dealer that was too big to care about an individual. Just my two cents.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      By Another JR · Posted

      Hi All, I operate my 2021 3500 SLT most of the time with the tailgate off and in a crate because I have a slide-in camper. However, at least once a year, I take the camper off and put the tailgate back on. Recently I installed the tailgate, but had a hard time getting the connector bail to swing to the fully latched position. The connector seems to fully seat, and everything works, but the bail doesn’t swing to fully latched position.  It swings almost there but stops and I am afraid to push it any harder.    Does anyone have any advice on cleaning or lubrication or anything else I should be doing?  i know how to properly operate the connector. During the time the tailgate and connector are off, i have a double plastic bag over the truck connector secured with rubber bands to keep it clean, but it still had some dust in it this time when I blew it out with compressed air. I didn’t want to spray it with anything other than air without doing some research. Thanks.

      There are a lot of spammer's that do that, quote something and add some commentary to make it seem legit, but modify the quoted text a bunch making sure when posted it's long enough to be "click to expand", and either immediately insert a spam link, or come back after some time and edit it to add the spam link.

      Hello @jaszr2 Do you have a link for the item? I put a replacement bumper on my truck and consequently had to relocate the shutters. I studied on them a while, and figured if you left a couple key blades, you could get most of the airflow with probably no throwing codes.
