Has anyone put a slider in their truck?  If so, which brands do you recommend?  I kind-of like the idea of the power slider, any info/pics would help. Any problem of leaking?

 

Thanks alot!

I had a friend of mine put a CR Laurance Powr-Slider on my '02 X-cab. I believe they are the only makers of these for our trucks. He has been a professional auto glass installer for about 15 years, he put one on his '92 about 9 years ago and still has it with no problems.

 

I have no water leaks. One thing you will notice, however, is a slightly increased in-cab "road noise" over the factory rear glass even with the slider shut. I notice it and have heard from others that is the case with these. It is not loud or irritating, just there. I am happy with mine so far...if you are going to go through the trouble to put a slider in an X-cab or CC the power one is the only way to go IMO, unless you always have a rear passenger back there to open and close it for you :crazy:

 

BTW- One of my coworkers called a truck place near here a few weeks ago and they quoted him about $450 installed.

I've looked into them.  The CR Lawerence would be my preference for a power slider.

 

However, I was thinking I would probably up the stereo some day soon and the slider will take up what little back wall there is for amps.  Since I have a shell, my tax return dollars are going for a Breezer Window with boot.  It's Avalanche like, with the addition a vent tilt.

I've installed a couple hundred sliders, and 2 or 3 power sliders, ont on my Nissan.  The CR Lawerence Powerslider is very nice, a must if you have an extended or crew cab.  Find someone very experienced to do it, but it's not that hard.  As for aftermarket manual sliders, I don't care much for any that are out now, but if you had to do with one, the CR Lawerence is probably the nicest besides the factory

I have cr powerslider on my 01HD and there is some more road noise with it but it's very convenient.  I don't ride back there so my kids will have to put up with the extra noise. :lol:

When the OEM slider started leaking on my 2000 GMC K2500 (frame cracked in 2 places) the dealer had to replace it w/ the CR Lawrence manual unit. I had the truck for 2 more years & no problems w/ it. I had them install another 1 before I picked up my '04.

 

Last week I was behind 2 other GMT800s that had the CR Lawrence sliders installed, so there must be alot of them out there.

 

I'll check to see who is making the new sliders we'll be using in the '05s.

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.

      That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”.
