"New" stuff at dealership

[doverarjim]

While at the dealership today I was walking around looking at different rigs and saw them pull my truck back out side, and as I started back to the Service department a guy pulled up in what I thought was a Dmax because of the hood scoop on it. But as I had to walk around it because he blocked the door I saw that it had Vortec stickers on it not the Dmax??? As I looked at the tailpipe it had the little tip on it and was not a diesel, I did not know that they were using the scoop on all of the 13 2500 trucks?

Also I looked at the bed and saw that where my truck has openings around the inside top for some reason that this truck had plugs in the holes?? So I go into parts and ask about them and sure enough for $65.00 I can get a set of 9 plugs to fill the holes in my truck bed, great one more thing to order.

Those holes are for the cargo mgmt system

All they manange to do for me is to get the inside of my bed dirty and dusty!!!

I thought all of the 2500's had the hood scoop even before 2013...?

weird.. my truck came with those "plugs". Had the place I got my bedliner sprayed just go over them.. only to find out I had to pull the front ones out when I installed my tonneau cover. ended up drilling a hole out of them instead of trying to cut through it.

I added 2 plugs to the two round holes inside our beds, by the top of the tailgate, on my 2009 before the bedliner was sprayed in.

 

I added these same to plugs to my 2012 Sierra before I installed my bed rug too.

 

I found a round rubber plug on the inside top of our rear wheel openings & they are the exact size as these holes inside the bed. They snapped right in. GM PN# 22579564. They list for $4.43 each.

Southco, since 2011 the Dmaxes had them for sure, (I hated mine) and I know that on the 2012 only the Dmaxes had them. I guess this was the first 2013 that I had seen up close to realize that it was not a Dmax but a gas truck.

Bad Bowtie, the parts guy said that a set of 9 for my bed was about $45.00 so I put them on order.

But like another guy above mentioned, I bet the plugs you've ordered are the oval "cargo management system" plugs....

I looked and all the 2500's (gas and diesel) had them starting in 2011. I was browsing the used ads online and found '11 and '12 gas and diesels with them. The '09 and '10 gas did not. I like they way the hood scoop or bulge looks on them....
