What do u mean didn’t come with corner protectors? I have 2014 but it’s not the original bed had bed damage from by tail light and rear wheel well area so they swapped my bed before I bought it bought from the auction fixed then sold to me

The newer models came from the factory with black plastic stick on cab and front lower bed corner protectors. Earlier K2s did not.

Any of you 2016 and up owners know what i am talking about or have pictures of yours on the truck?

I installed this thingy on the top of my 2017 6.2L. Not really sure what it does, but my truck goes really fast now.

Mine has that piece I think ? yeah it does, so my bed might be from a 2016? It also has the factory cargo light in the bed

They will fit any K2 so it is possible your bed is newer or they were stuck on after the fact LOL

Well the bed was swapped I asked my friend if he knew what year it was from he didn’t remember but that good to know I doubt he added them just to add them, he doesn’t like to add aftermarket stuff to the trucks he sells (unless it already been done before he’s purchased it)

Took the horrible plastic "shield" off and put actual skid plates under the truck!  I had ripped the plastic guard and I take my truck off the pavement quite often.  It's crazy that a 4x4 truck does not come with metal skid plates and has a plastic 'shield" under there!

Ordered the GM parts off Ebay.  Three piece kit that came with the differential plate as well.  I feel a lot better now going off pavement.

I need to do the same thing. Do you know the GM part number for these?

Yes, the kit part number is: 23176881

This is the ebay listing that I ordered from.  Came in original GM packaging.  It's a dealer in Panama City, FL.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/271607751458

This is the two piece that will replace the plastic guard and then the transfer case shield as well.  Make sure the kit comes with the tapered bolts.  The holes for the transfer case plate are not threaded already and you need the bolts from GM to work properly.

I never though I’d swear at a little piece of vinyl so much.... I have a new found appreciation for people who wrap cars. ac64107641e413ffc593c76767420ed4.jpge9ee9b879cb3f40eb18ffe03aec9bfd6.jpg

Mix a solution of water and dawn soap. Just enough to make a little suds. Spray that on both surfaces. It'll go on with ease with no bubbles if smoothed of from the middle.

Tried that, unfortunately the curve at the top of the trim and the thickness of the vinyl were working against each other. I’m guessing that works better with thinner vinyl that bends a little easier.

      87 down as low as $5.14 here... winning!

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      Progress... sort of.   Intake is disassembled, spider is out, fuel lines removed. Used a torch on the stripped screw with the lower intake off, much easier when I've got the intake sitting on my workbench, I made it talk. Walked right out with a pair of vice grips once it was nice and toasty hot.   New parts are piling up on my service cart waiting to be installed. Distributor, temperature sensor, new gaskets, fuel line kit, themostat, water neck.   My new pickle is I don't want to spend $600 on a replacement spider. I'm not sure IT is bad. I'm probably splitting hairs. Or it's $300 to send mine away and another 3 weeks of the truck just sitting. I have half a mind to assemble everything with the old spider to see if I can get away with just replacing the fuel pressure regulator to be safe. The obvious issue was the gushing high pressure fuel line which will be replaced. Getting to the spider really isn't that hard, and now I know what I'm doing , swapping it would be a breeze should it absolutely need one. Stupid, or smart?   The part that gives me pause is replacing the distributor. Well, it's already out. And I didn't mark it, whoopsie! Engine was at TDC when I removed it, I know that, so upon correct reinstall the metal tip on the rotor should point to the TDC mark on the distributor because that's where it was pointing on the old distributor. Worst case I'm a tooth off and have to re-stab it.   But then, what? I assume the truck will start. It doesn't appear the timing can be set. Here's the problem: These distributors can't be rotated but a degree or two, by design. What I read is Cam ****** needs to be -2 to +2 degrees, ideally at 0 (and checked/set above 1000 rpm). There should be enough wiggle to get that properly set, but checking the reported value is another potential issue. My Actron 9185 scanner says it supports enhanced GM PIDs and Cam ****** is one of them but it's unclear that I'll be able to correctly see it over OBD 1.5. I can see why people end up junking these things with life left in them. They're an absolute nightmare with tweener-year diagnostics/electronics and unobtanium parts.   Fingers crossed it starts and idles nicely. There can be hope, right? I'ma buy a lottery ticket the same day just in case.   Next steps..DO IT. I have not installed an intake before so I've been reading and watching a lot. Some say NO RTV except on china walls, some say DO RTV on water ports but not fuel/air intake. 1/4 or 3/8 bead on China walls? I think my strategy will be, obviously, RTV china walls with overlap on the gasket corners. Chapstick-style RTV the water ports. Leave intake ports dry. The only set of intake gaskets I could find locally are Edelbrock performance gaskets (uh...for an asthmatic 190hp V6? LOL) so we'll see how they do.   #NoToolLeftBehind. It took an hour, but my recovery mission for my deep 10mm socket was successful. It had rolled down the bellhousing and wedged itself between what I think are the fuel lines? I couldn't see it at all, but with a junk antenna I had laying around, I blindly went poking/sweeping for it, heard it clink, raised the truck, and caught a sliver glimpse of chrome with a flashlight way up there in Narnia. I had pushed it farther along the lines holding it captive, but within access of severely improvised tools, poking and cursing at it to finally knock it free to where I could get a fingertip on it to bring it home.    Not much to see.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By KARNUT · Posted

      It wouldn’t have happened if the government hadn’t mandated outrageous fuel mileage standards. It does very little for the consumer. It adds cost. Back during Covid there was a chip shortage. They gave a rebate for your truck if it didn’t have the chip to turn on cylinder deactivation. It was 50$ because at best you may see 1/2 a mile increase per gallon. Splitting hairs each fuel mileage trick wasn’t mandated. The government doesn’t do the engineering work and say use this until it’s already in use and they like it. The fuel mileage was mandated. And those add ons the results. There’s a mandate and they are the results.
