The gaps on top were ever-so-slightly wider than the old bumper. So if you walk out of the store and catch someone back there with a millimeter ruler, punch him right in the left ear.   Old shot f

Hello all. So i got a bumper from a '14 to put on my '11 silverado. Problem is the bumper brackets are different. It looks like I could just do some minor fab work to make it fit. Anyone had any luck doing something like this? thanks in advance.

Hi

I was wondering if the photos are available anywhere.

I saw them all a while back but now that i'm finally getting around to installing the bumper, no more pictures.

Thanks

I am actually wanting to take my 2014 1500 reg cab bumper off and get one without the steps from an older one.......assuming this is possible too?

It's an issue with where the pictures were originally hosted and then linked to

It's an issue with where the pics were hosted and linked to...if it was photobucket, they are now charging to host pictures and won't allow pictures already being hosted to be seen.  If they were hosted on this site, the site has gone through an upgrade recently and the pics probably didn't survive the upgrade.

Anyone know if the gmt900 trailer wiring harness plugs directly into the dual plug adapter that mounts to the gmt1000 bumper?

Also, does the gmt900 spare tire tube lock cover swap over to the gmt1000 bumper?

 

My 2014+ bumper came with neither parts.

      The Peckish Synapse

      If it has a stick I can have fun with it. When my wife first got her Acura years ago I used to tease her about it. I was only interested in muscle cars. They’re gone now. So once a month I drive the Acura. Every once in a while I’ll take it to Redline. But just normal driving on some twisty back roads usually does the trick.

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By contrabombarde · Posted

      I went through again with a test light and everything checked out.    I suppose it could be the MAF itself but I've tried 3 different sensors, 2 of which were in running vehicles previously (the one in this truck, and the one in the donor truck), as well as a new one I picked up from NAPA. I would just be surprised if all 3 were bad.   EDIT/UPDATE: I swapped in the MAP sensor that was originally with the 2010 PCM, that made the code for map sensor voltage high Go away, and the map sensor seems to read normal with key on engine off (14psi or so), but it still doesn't run and does the same thing as before.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By Atlas · Posted

      In addition to a cell or wifi connection, the infotainment needs to be enabled to download software updates. That's a toggle within the system settings.   But...if the truck was prevented from receiving updates in a past life, missing a bunch of updates may mean it won't go back and download all of those because they're not available or the system is too far out of date.   If a formal recall depends on a software update, the recall for that truck remains in an open status until it's applied. The dealer would need to apply the software update in that instance.   Most updates downloaded and applied via the infotainment aren't recalls/safety recalls, they're enhancements and usability fixes which aren't critical.

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      By Vu1can · Posted

      Recently I've been getting a message, "New Brake Pads Detected. Reset Brake Pad Life?", But I haven't had the pads replaced and the truck only has 28,000 miles. The Brake Pad Life shows Front 64% and Rear 79%. I select NO to resetting the brake pad life and the message goes away but comes back at the nest restart.   I stopped by the dealer and was told that it sounds like a software glitch that would require reprogramming. Even though I have the extended warranty, they tell me that reprogramming is not covered unless a module was actually bad and needed to be replaced. Simply reprogramming is not covered. So, they want $200.00 just to diagnose the problem. If it turns out no bad module, another charge on top of that to do the reprogramming. If the cause was an actual bad module, everything would be covered under the warranty.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Should this issue be covered under the warranty?   Thanks

      NHT is diesel only, correct.     The GVWRs for NHT on 3/4 ton bring them to the same numbers as many of the 2WD 1 tons.  A crew 4x4 standard 3/4 with NHT is 11,750lbs, a 1 ton same cab/box/4x4 is 12,100lbs.     Hubs and hub bearings are the same for 11.5" and 12" axles.  Housing, diff carrier and ring/pinion are larger for the 12".   All gas use the 11.5" axle, 3/4, 1 ton and 1 ton DRW.
