Tow Hook Surround Trim


Recommended Posts

Posted

Yea, I'm looking for what someone here called the "ugly grey" Z71 filler panel for my LT. I'm picking up a fog light bumper tomorrow.

 

Any info on that would be helpful. I'm combing part #s but not finding anything really.

Found the part number for the clip. It is called a Valance clip GM#11562364.

Not sure if any of you can help me out. I am going to switch out my LT surround with the Z71 inserts. Since I am going from the single piece LT filler to the Z71 filler and skid plate roughly how many of these clips am I going to need to order?

My truck will also have the gray surround. Truck is an AT, and the front bumper will match the paint, which is black. Anyone "painted" the surround? I think having it black would look much better then the gray.

 

How about some black plastic-dip. It holds up well and it is completely removable should you change your mind...

So I did a search and found a couple of forums pertaining to this subject. This seemed to be as good a place as any to post this. I'm struggling with this area of my front bumper to be "lacking" something. To me the LTZ chrome skid plate is a bit too "blingy" and while I like the painted Z71 skid plate, am not sure if it would look right on my LT 2WD. I have even considered getting a license plate bracket and some sort of license plate to "busy up" this area, but don't think that's the route I really want to go. I have also considered painting that area the same color as the Z71 skid plate, but am undecided about that as well. The other option would be chrome tow hooks. I cannot find pictures anywhere or have seen in real life any non- Z71 or no - LTZ trucks with chrome tow hooks.

 

If any body has pictures of their front bumper with chrome tow hooks and no Z71 or LTZ skid plates, can you please post? Or if you have painted the filler any color other that black, please post as well? thanks in advance.

 

Also did some research. here are some part numbers just in case they are not listed elsewhere:

 

22944882 painted Z71 skid plate $146

22944883 chrome LTZ skid plate $184

23126342 filler w/o skid plate w/o tow hooks $60

22944860 filler w/o skid plate w/ tow hooks $60

23126910 filler w/ skid plate w/o tow hooks $60

22944881 filler w/ skid plate w/ tow hooks $60

Had a bedliner put in yesterday so I went ahead and let them put these parts on for me

2-nd pic looks a lot better Matt.

BTW where's that bottom trim?

Before I spent the $250 and the three hours, I thought I would try this first. Yes? No? Am I nuts? Cost me about $6 and 30 minutes.

Is this just spray paint? Or a silver plastidip?

Krylon Maxx. Spray paint. Super tough $h1t!!. Be careful with overspray because acetone, tyloul, MEK nor lacquer thinner will remove it.

Has anyone been able to find the part number for the black one?

Hey bud, other than the 13 or so bolts on the bottom I didn't see anything else that it hangs on to?

 

Just order this piece for my 2015 Silverado 1500 and hoping there is not alot to install it.

I know this is an old post but I just bought the part for my Sierra 2500, it's called a skid plate (I know weird) and the part number was 23178964

    • My house is set at 75. My car at 70. When I have guests the house is at 70. 
    • OK you say you could hang meat but what was the actual temp? One of the AC systems job is to remove humidity that we feel on our body your new system removed alot of humidity as that is were the water comes from on the ac coils and that made it feel colder. 80 degrees with high humidity will feel hot vs 80 degrees with low humidity will feel alot cooler.
    • I was using recirc/max air. Especially if it really hot i start out by lowering the front windows a little with regular ac the go to recirculation after a few and rolling windows up. And it does not have the newest refrigerant. It has per the info under the hood r134. Not the new r1234yf.  
    • tldr; Shade tree mechanic stumped by variable displacement AC compressor.   Not Silverado related, but for my 2000 Camaro SS. I've never really used the AC since acquiring the car a good handful of years ago. I plan to take it on a trip this summer so I wanted to make sure the AC was in good shape. On an 73 degree day in the shop with the car idling I set the AC on "Max", temp set to cold, and fan on hi. The compressor turned on and air turned nice and cold.   I let it run for several minutes but noticed the compressor never cycled off. The engine was up to temperature enough that it began cycling the cooling fans on high. I had a set of manifold gauges hooked up and it was consistently at about 25 psi on the low side and between 200 and 225 psi (warm engine) on the high side. Per temperature charts, the low side is low (should be 30-35) and the high side is a little high (up to 170 per chart). I read the low pressure as potentially being under-charged underscored by a continually running compressor This was also underscored by temp readings of mid-20 degrees at the vents. Not just cold, freezing cold. Switching off the AC but leaving the HVAC fan on high produced a deluge of condensation underneath the vehicle. I was getting ice buildup on the evap core most likely.   The low reading (25psi) concerned me that the compressor wasn't switching off so I swapped out the pressure switch. No change in behavior, still ran constantly.   The AC clutch works fine as it engages/disengages with the HVAC switch on command. The compressor relay is good as I swapped it with two different known good relays just to be sure. Having eliminated that, and the pressure switch, I added refrigerant, thinking the constant run and low "low" pressure were signs of a slight undercharge. Makes sense, the car is 26 years old and it doesn't appear the AC system has ever been touched.   Adding some R134a didn't meaningfully change the low side pressure. And that's when a lightbulb flashed upstairs. While I consider the car "old", it's possibly "new" enough to have a variable displacement compressor. Did some reading and sure enough. Dangit. I don't work on these for this reason.   Adding refrigerant means the compressor will just compensate and won't really change pressures until it's severely overcharged or undercharged. But at least I wasn't getting ice/frost anymore, but instead high 30 degree temps out of the vents. That's more normal, but with variable displacement now I have no idea where my charge level is at. It's probably overcharged now. The high side even with the engine radiating serious heat was never really over about 225.   The static pressure at room temperature is dead on, before and after the charge. Both high/low equalize after some rest.   I'm thinking I'll need to take it to a shop. I want the proper charge level so I'm not working the compressor too hard. The only way to get an accurate charge is to evacuate and then re-charge with the exact amount specified for the system -- at least that's what I'm reading.   Anyone here with modern automotive AC knowledge?  
    • Mine is in the shop for the AC now. While it did get cold after a bit, it would take a while to even start to cool the air at all. Turns out the compressor was bad and cycling.
