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.

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
