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. :jester:

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. :jester:

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

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....

      Winter Returned

      By OnTheReel · Posted

      .30” of rain all month and it’s been weeks since that. “Mowed” our two properties today for the first time since July 2nd. It only took 30 minutes because all I had to do was level some weeds and saplings in a few problem areas. Everything else is dead.

      Shift to Park Message Warranty Claim

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      Dealer reported a failed shifter module assembly so the whole shifter is getting replaced. Yet another premature repair… up to $12,000+ in extended warranty payout in only 5 years and 80,000 miles!

      2021 with Intermittent AC Cooling Issues

      By tjonesdfw · Posted

      According to the dealer it’s an internal leak/failure of the compressor.  Again, another failure that shouldn’t happen at only 5 years and 80k miles.  For some reason the compressors must be hard to come by right now, because the truck’s been at the dealer almost a week and they just located a compressor at another dealer several states away today.  We’ll see if this fixes the issue.

      Brake Bleed Procedure

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a reply on this thread or a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - ACDelco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles. When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so i did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance.

      Slate Electric Truck

      I wasn’t commenting on your post. Certainly wasn’t arguing. I was making an observation on my long term experience with supposedly proper length of driving for proper heat cycles. Works for me. Although I have seen water or vapor come out of exhaust when vehicles weren’t run very long and shut off. It’s very humid in the morning. Then hot and humid.
