Has anyone successfully added a rear power sliding window to there truck? Mine did not come with one, but I really would like to have it. If someone else has toyed around with this idea, then I would love to hear what they came up with. Thanks

well you'd need all the glass, the open/close actuator and cabling, the wiring, the switch and then have your BCM reprogrammed.

 

Oh, I'm sure it can be done. But don't expect it to be cheap by any means.

And it's only a 250.00 option from the get-go! I wonder why southern trucks don't all get ordered with them? We don't need a defroster on a flat window down here. My 2013 had one and I used it.

I wish they would have put the one in mine that I asked for.

Unfortunately the salesmen aren't as smart as the people that did the real work,...building the truck,...they just think they are.

I have already looked into it, and while yes it was only a $250 factory option the quote I got from GM was into the $3000 range by the time parts and labor were figured into the retrofit.

 

Plus your truck has to be on of the higher end packages to have the wiring in place, I have a All Terrain and the harness is in place in the overhead bin and by the rear window. The lower end trucks are not setup like this, so the retrofit would not work on them.

 

Depending on price I would consider aftermarket.

I checked around just a little bit, and it seems it will cost around 1500.00 to get a quality aftermarket sliding rear window. That is more than an electric sunroof with better controls and a lifetime warranty.

Couple of threads on this around here. bottom line: too expensive. even after market. I tried this on a 900 that I wanted to buy but needed the window for me to buy. Got a lot of unanswered questions and an out of sight cost.

I have an All-Terrain. I really did want this option, but by taking what they had on the lot it saved me a bunch of cash vs. having the dealer ordering my a built to order truck. If I had ordered a built to order truck the cost over what was sitting on lot would have been very expensive.

 

Does anyone know exactly what parts I would need to accomplish having an OEM sliding rear window??

My SLE has the wiring harness in place. It plugs right into the power sliding rear window.

Lesson in life: Don't take the truck if it is not what you want. Tell them to keep the truck if it was not ordered/built to your specifications. You are the decision maker with the cash. No one at the dealer eats until you sign & metal leaves the lot.

This. I do not know how many trucks like I wanted but with no slider that I passed on.

well that's because you have the option installed. But what they're saying is lower trims without the option wont have the wiring. But higher trims without the option installed may have the wiring.

      Gas Prices

      We drove about 15 minute east today to visit a friend and saw a steep increase in price in the same county. About 50 cents a gallon steepper.

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

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Sure about that? A degree wheel and a dial indicator would lower your degree of assurance in that statement. 😉    It why we have offset keys and dialable timing sprockets. Just say'n.... I've built a few and have never seen one "On the money".

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I will admit I haven't experimented much with pressure drops beyond the numbers I put in and part of that is that the numbers I used are fairly low and then found out it would trigger regardless at that 35 psi. Having said that I had tried before had changed the placard pressures and being that I have a 1 ton set to 80 on the placard for the rear I believe it triggered close to 60, the front I don't recall now for sure but thought maybe it could get close to 45 from that factory 60 placard pressure. So I never did figure out if it was a number of psi from placard pressure to the alarm or a percentage of the total placard number as some figured it was like a 25% drop from placard pressure would trigger it. So as to try and answer your question, I believe I set the placard pressure on the front to 47 or so and while I run the front tires at 40, they have dipped below that some if its colder and I haven't put "winter air" in yet and never once have had the front alarm go off. I would say that the answer your looking for is no, that if you set your placard pressure to 45, you have a certain amount of room to drop below that pressure before the alarm will go off.    The pressures you decide to run in your truck, that ends up being what makes sense to you based on what your carrying in your truck or if towing, then have to bump them back up to something that will carry the load in the rear and the fronts typically left at the same pressure. It all comes down to that chart I put the link to and using an accurate roadside scale to be your guide, both unloaded and then loaded to know your minimum safe pressures.    I just wish GM would allow a person to change the readings for the tire pressures to the English system of pounds as I have to look at that goofy metric reading that will never ever jive in my head and will go over and change it just to figure out what they are if need be and then change it back.

      No Software Updates - Old Build

      By TrueBlue · Posted

      That part I understand, that the dealer can do it. But I'm not understanding why updates that were available to the truck since it left the factory, or the dealership originally, would not still be available to it without dealer intervention.   I'm thinking along the lines of recalls. They stay available until they are completed, regardless of whether they are in warranty or not, or in the hands of the original owner or not. Why not updates as well, especially since some of those can be safety related also?
