Yes. The Helm manuals are like a maintenance encyclopedia for your truck. Several thousand pages of step-by-step instructions, diagrams, schematics, troubleshooting steps, etc.

So how does one go about getting their hands on this "Helm" manual...? Thanks

I just purchased some gm factory headrest/DVD players (RSE - rear seat entertainment) and can't find installation instructions anywhere. A lot of it is self explanatory (fishing the wires down the seats) but it looks like the main control module made by invision has a special cable that should just plug into a jack somewhere (maybe underneath center console??). The main control module also has what looks like a headphone jack on it. Does anyone know if this is an additional a/v input or output. My specific part number is 23309584 but any similar part number would probably have similar instructions. It is going in a 2015 Sierra 2500hd. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

David

Does anyone know the the part numbers for the left and right OEM headlights for a 2014-2015 GMC Sierra. I want to do my own retrofit but wasn't sure if I had to buy the whole assembly. Thank in advance.

Getting ready to install a RC 2.5" leveling kit with rear blocks, does any one have or know where I can find torque specs on all related components with this level kit, i.e. u-bolts, struts, etc

Were you able to find out what those were? I'm getting ready to install an RC 2.0" leveling kit on my 2015 2WD 1500.

Was getting in my truck today with my big fat boots and I broke a plastic piece that covers the front of the seat track slider. Coco Dune. Anyone have that part number for me?

Much appreciated in advance.

Haha, I did the EXACT same thing! Size 15 boots took it to town!

 

Just happened to me a few weeks ago. Same piece, same color too!

 

Here's the part number you need:

 

GM# 23427386

 

Got mine from GM Parts Center

 

http://www.gmpartscenter.net/oe-gm/23427386

 

Paid $20.66 shipped

 

Hope this helps, easy to replace. Just move the driver seat all the way up and lift it to the max settings and you'll be good to go.

Wow - Thanks for the fast response! Glad I'm not the only one. Wish I could get this in unbreakable PVC!

Passenger side view mirror on a 2014 sierra power mirror led turn indicator. The glass portion slides onto a plastic then snaps onto the gimbal. I have 2 little black wires connecting behind the upper left side on the backside. Is this for the auto dimming mirror?

    • There would be one way of determining the quality of the factory oil although probably more than a typical oil lab test, and that would be to draw out some oil from a new truck and send a sample to a lab that could do a more elaborate test of the oil. The issue with too little oil in the diff may not be the lack of lubrication of the diff bearings and gears themselves ( although a lack of oil volume for cooling ) but the wheel bearings because at some point the oil would be too low to properly get onto the spinning axle or fed along the axle tube. That was the claim by the local dealer from a couple of trucks in recent years that had the wheel bearings fail and they figured from lack of sufficient oil due to a severe underfilled diff and some of the bearing material made its way to the diff and it got damaged as well so the axle housings were just replaced on warranty. But your right that if the diff is over filled by whatever margin that it causes more churning of the oil than is desirable and that is no good either and can cause a pinion seal to leak. Also old oil I believe can tend to loose some of its properties like antifoaming and another good reason to change the diff oil every so often. 
    • I would be surprised if the diff's were not filled (with the cheapest gear lube) at the axle factory before being shipped to GM.  If you ever watched them building trucks they install the axles and all suspension parts with the frame upside down and then turn it over before its time to install the engine.     Too much gear lube in a axle can be worse than not enough especially with a lower quality GL where is get whipped up with entrained air (foam)  weakening its ability to lubricate.        
    • This is the 6.6 gasser section of the forum, you should either delete or modify your previous post as it is misleading for anyone looking for factual information on their 6.6 gas engine.
    • Well....I've done my first intake gasket. Probably wrong, but...we'll see?   Ultra black on the china walls and 1/4" up onto the sides of the intake gaskets. Permatex High Tack (couldn't find Gaskachinch) on the head side of the intake gasket. I read wrong and it says you're supposed to put it on the mating surface of the head, not the gasket. Hoping it's like a PB&J sandwich where it doesn't matter what side the PB goes on so long as there's jelly. That crap is messy/sticky and I got a dab or two on the intake port openings, tried to wipe it off. Hopefully it won't be a big deal and will only aid in sealing.   Per instructions I left the intake (top side) of the gasket dry except for a light smear of RTV around the coolant ports. Wiggling the intake in there was a bear but I had help to free me of surrounding wiring/stuff but I was basically able to set it straight down lined up with the bolt holes.   I did not think to wait until the RTV skinned over but there probably was 5-10 minutes while it sat before installing the intake.   Bolts finger tight first. Then, followed the Chilton's manual pattern to snug them to 15 lb-ft.   Waited a little over an hour, and then did the final torque in sequence again to 35 lb-ft.   Yesterday I replaced the fuel pressure regulator and got my new "nut and bolt kit" (fuel lines) installed. Damn GM used security torx on the spider, which I don't have, so I got scammed at the local HW store for an off-brand security Torx bit set.   The new driver's door mirror arrived yesterday, so, there's a chance this thing could be running and road legal tomorrow? I don't want to get my hopes up.   This will be my first time stabbing a distributor, too. Although, lucky me, someone else marked the old distributor for removal previously, I did see that. (Someone's been here before!!). Engine is still at TDC so it *should* be just a matter of transferring the mark to the new dizzy and rotating it into place.
    • He has his dad’s newer truck he’s put away. He has several old cars he rotates between him and his family. I’ve seen a restored square body and a SS Chevy truck he’s sometimes drives. He did raffle off a new suburban recently. As much as he is watched if he drove new stuff as a rule we’d know it. It would be fine by me. I don’t care what people prefer. I got one more new one in me. I’d rather my wife get one. I can’t get her out of the Genesis. Don’t tell anyone. I want her to get an electric truck. I want to put a generator in the back. Just because. She hasn’t bit yet.
