I currently have 2011 1500 ext cab 4x4. Hopefully going to be buing different house. House has driveway about 800' long with slope upwards. Thinking of getting plow for my truck if we close on house. Also thinking in a few years may look to upgrade truck to a 1500 crew cab. My question is if I buy a plow for current truck will it fit on new gm body stylke truck that I may buy in 4-5 years?

actually after looking at survey map I guess 800' feet of driveway is a bit of exaggeration. It is actually around 550'. Still quite the driveway. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.

I looked at Fisher's eMatch and it says the same frame plates from the gmt900s will go on the new body style '14s.

Its a hard call to say that a current plow mounting carton will fit on a newer not

yet produced vehicle as mfrs. change things at will.

Certain Douglas Dynamic companies GMT-900 mounts changed in 2010.

Also note that GM will deny factory warranty work on non VYU equipped plow prep

trucks also.

 

Just a few things to keep in mind.........................

I agree with sonjaab to far out to tell mfgs. are always changing but if the frames don't go thru any changes like the past 15 or more yrs. probably work,save the plow.Anyone know what ford T-bar keys interchange with 2000 chevy silverado 1500 z-71 4x4 for 2-3 in. lift thanks

Has the house got a lot of lawn?

 

Maybe a blade or blower on a garden tractor would be a solution.

I wouldn't plan on it fitting. It took my plow installers a few extra hours to put the plow on my 2014 because they said the frame was a little different and the front bumper assembly was different from 2013, so they had to make alterations they didn't expect.

 

So just trying to put a plow from 2011 to 2014 cannot be done without some customizing and alterations, it's safe to say the same for 4-5 years from now.

Really seems overkill getting a plow for your truck just for your own Driveway.. You'd be better off buying a snowblower or an ATV with a plow. I picked up a perfect condition 2006 suzuki eiger 400 with a plow and winch for 3000. Plows great

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      This is NOT impact damage nor neglect. There were previous class action lawsuits because of such paint preparation st GM manufacturing plant. Not just the Cherry Red Color. This paint is applied in three processes to obtain the desired color.  The manufacturer will cover for 36 months or 36k miles only. That rust is actually corrosion because of the paint process failure. Corrosion is covered for 100,100 miles or a certain months. However their corrosion doesn't include this type. Go figure. Clearly manufacturer knew from previous paint issues. This started 3 weeks ago out of the blue.

      Is it time to put a piece of tape over the CEL?

      consider doing electrical testing?  I would guess some power or ground wire/connection has a problem.   alldata.com has wiring diagrams, connector pinouts and diagnostic procedures you can use to find where the problem is.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By davester · Posted

      can you tell if the reader is actually trying to get codes, and the pcm is reporting none, or is your reader just silently failing because it's not communicating with the pcm?

      Any joy with this truck seems to be short-lived.   The CEL for P0172 ("bank 1" too rich) is now "intermittent".   I'm not sure where to check, or re-check, and my energy to keep chasing problems with junk is wearing thin. The P0172 seems to set as I'm coming to a stop, completely off the throttle, when fully warm. At least, that's what it's done the 3? times it's set.   Everything appears normal on the scanner EXCEPT long term fuel trim. There's only one bank on this vehicle because it's an OBD 1.5 with only one upstream O2 sensor. At idle, it's around -16.4% and will dip to -18% occasionally at idle or off-throttle. LTFT approaches 0 when throttle is held at 2500rpm. Short term appears normal, much closer to zero all the time. The LTFT tells me the engine is running rich at idle but compensating at higher load. But, why?   The EVAP purge valve doesn't appear to be leaking/sucking fuel vapor continuously. Is it sticking just as I come to a stop and the engine is choking on fuel vapor and sets the P0172? But that doesn't explain the persistently negative LTFT. Disconnecting the purge valve doesn't seem to make any difference.   I suppose that leaves another dang issue with the fuel injector. A leaking fuel pressure regulator, a new leak in the spider, or a leaking fuel injector/poppet valve I didn't see, or a small crack in one of the spider legs.   The vacuum line leading to the fuel pressure regulator doesn't have raw fuel in it. It doesn't even smell like fuel when it's pulled off, not until you suck air through it, then you can tell it leads to a fuel component. I'd consider that normal? Nothing is signaling this is a FPR issue from the outside, at least.   The oil smells like fuel but it's not building volume. I've noticed most oil in most engines smells like fuel to some degree so it's hard to say if the smell is an issue or not. Or if the engine just still smells like fuel because the crankcase was full of it a few hundred miles ago. But it's been changed twice since that original issue of the leaking fuel line dumping fuel into the intake.   Patience is running very thin. Every win seems to be accompanied by two steps backwards, or another issue that leads to removing at least the top half of the intake manifold. Enough! LOL
