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.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Its no wonder you've gravitated to the oil types and brands you have in later years after trying certain brands and one being a specialty oil or at least very hard to come by up here and the other would have been a commonly found oil of the era and the vastly different outcomes as a result to using the vehicles in question the same distance for an OCI . It shows what marketing hype can do without actually having the product to back up the claims and that is no different now with the insane claims that are written on the side of a bottle of oil from some of the off the shelf oils.    What has surprised me and I was already finding this out before I bought my truck with the GDI engine, that this newer fancy technology that seemingly would suggest better fuel economy/emissions with this high pressure spray of fuel is not in reality kind at all to the engine or at least the oils life. Yet they insist on claiming long OCI with this technology just like they did with the port or similar type fuel injection systems when in reality its a step back in oil life to have a GDI system.    I think the mistake your making Grumpy is that your not sending your samples to Blackstone and getting the feel good glowing report that you can run it another 1000 or more miles and then send another sample where they say run it yet another 1000 miles and on and on it goes until your sending in something that looks a lot like road tar and then they may suggest you change your oil within the next 1000 miles 😆

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
