2014 Silverado owners check your chrome bumper

20L8TSierra24 · May 28, 2014

My bumper on the passenger side is slightly lower than the driver side (the gap between the bumper and the painted portion is bigger in other words). That' bothers me the most. But I've been too lazy to get them to fix it. I wish there was an easy way to adjust a bolt or something and raise it up.

That's all the dealer did to mine, you can see where they loosened the bolts, pulled the bumper up and re tightened. Your fog lights aren't even either.

Passenger side of front bumper. Top of the chrome portion. Looks like a dent in the chrome portion but it's something that's happening in the manufacturing process of the bumper.

You have a Sierra not a Silverado, so you won't have it!

Sierra's don't have it?

I'm going to ignore the fog lights statement or my head might explode. I don't need any more to worry about with this truck haha!

Do you know which bolts to loosen to raise it up? I crawled under there to look but there's about a thousand of them!

I haven't seen a sierra with the defective bumper, mainly crewcab silverados in my area.

Anybody out there have a regular or double cab silverado with the defective bumper?

I had to have mine replaced because it looked like they sanded it with 100 grit and then chromed over the rough surface at the spots where the fog lights would be in a bumper that has them.

Stopped at a dealer in Ohio on my way thru, they had 5 CrewCab Silverados and all of them had the defective bumper.

Just looked. Mine has it

Silverado-Hareek · July 14, 2014

Mine doesn't have it. This is probably the first common problem on this truck that I don't have surprisingly. Build date 9/13, Mexico.

Mine has it. I really don't think it's that bad would've never found it. But I click on this thread lol.. My build dat 12/14/13 I'll let my dealer know on my next vist for a oil change.

When I see a CrewCab and get an opportunity to look at the passenger side of the bumper I do and almost every one has the defect.

I saw one go by me yesterday and it had the defect. Guy was pulling out of the parking lot. I almost stopped him but didn't because the last guy I talked to about it told me that he didn't care because he doesn't see it at 80 mph going down the highway. Lol

It seems like a non-issue to me. Mine has it, it's there on the driver side too. But, it's not really on the main bumper part, it's up under the colored piece, so it isn't really noticeable. And it doesn't affect the drive in any way.

Actually if the bumper is installed correctly you'll hardly notice it so check the gaps have the dealer adjust the bumper and you'll probably be really happy.

How do they adjust it?

Silverado-Hareek · July 17, 2014

I need to get mine adjusted the passenger side hangs lower than the driver side.

Madcow2020 · July 17, 2014

Not exactly sure but in my old truck I put the truck on ramps loosened the bolts used a jack and a block of wood to hold it in place on one side tightened the bolts and repeated on the other side.
