My handle arrived yesterday. It looks like it was actually shipped from a chevy dealer the way the label on the box looks.

 

Came with bolts and instructions. I probably wont get around to getting it put it in until this weekend.

Those of you that have put your driver assist handle in ... you know that black clip you hand to undo to get the old off? What happens with it on the new pillar? Mine doesnt have a slot to put it back in

 

That normal

You have to pry it out of the A pillar. I used a thin screwdriver and severe force. Once that tether comes out, it reveals a little hole where the "spike" on the new trim piece will fit into.

Can an assist over head handle on passenger side be installed if nothing is there? The handle above the door to "Grab" when going around a turn.

 

2013 GMC SLE...for a friend to do.

 

Also the driver pillar assist handle on the 2013

You don't actually have to remove the tether. You can fold it back, just separate them, and put the spike in the hole in between the lines. I did it that way, just in case I ever wanted to put the original trim piece back on.

 

Mine fits perfectly, but you do need to separate the lines in the tether, and go right between them with the spike.

Ordered mine yesterday at the Dealership, List price $50.00 with a 10% customer discount makes the out the door price $45.00, no sales tax in NH.

 

Can't wait to try it, I'm 6' 2" and find it much easier to enter the cab on the passenger side with the factory handle and the running boards, never mind it gives me a handle to wash the roof as I have a topper roof to wash too.

im already liking having the assist handle. Helps me not land on the side of the seat when getting in the truck.

 

Now to add on the side steps tomorrow should make it even easier

 

Im only 5'11"

So I get a call today at noon time that my handle has come in at the Dealership and I picked it up within an hour and like other's have said I installed it in less than 10 mins!

The supplied instructions are a waste of paper, so I followed the steps listed in this thread.

I really like the handle, for me it seems easier to enter and egress the cab and again I'm 6'2".

This handle should have been included with the truck, but I'm very happy I found this thread and it was so easy to install too!

 

The USPS mail came within an hour of the install and I received Urgent Recall Notice for my 2014 Silverado # 15203, so I'll be back at the Dealership next week again for that.

Installed mine over the weekend. Caveman easy. Took all of 5 minutes. Got it from ShopChevyParts.com. $49 TYD. I love it. Looks great. No gaps. Love the symmetry. I'm using it all the time. Saves your leather seat from unnecessary wear if you use the handle instead of sliding in and out so much. Great addition.

Finally got around to installing my handle. Like others have mentioned it's a real easy quick upgrade. Old one pulls off easily. You need to disconnect the little black plastic tether from the original by popping the little clip out. I left mine attached to the vehicle and the plastic piece that sticks out of the new handle just went in between it into the line up hole. Snapped the top in and line the bolt holes up and you're all set. No more grabbing the steering wheel.

maybe i missed the question/answer but will this fit the 2015 as well ?

Yes. From what I understand it can be ordered as a factory option on the 2015's.

      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?

      2015 Silverado 3500 right rear turn indicator failure

      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
