Adding Garage Door Opener


Recommended Posts

Posted

Does anyone know if I can add an OEM garage door opener to my LT trimmed Silverado? I know the 900 guys have and its plug-n-play (link)

Hoping its that simple for the 14/15's and I can keep my interior factory looking. Thanks in advance ! :cheers:

I just took my old clip-on visor garage door clicker and put it in the useless sunglass holder in the overhead. Just pop it open and push the button. Voila!

It is pretty much a direct fit I believe. have a look on ebay for one, I think they are going for around $100 bucks used. I thought about doing this too, but couldnt decide if $100 for a button is worth it considering i can just clip the opener on my visor

Useless to you, use mine all the time.

 

Wear glasses, and the transitional glasses don't work in truck. So I keep a pair of prescription polarized Ray Bans in there. Handy to leave my regular ones in there when I go boating as well.

If you can get homelink I would, better than having your GDO clicker in the truck. One of the things thieves look for is the GDO clicker so they can steal them and come back later and open your garage door and get what they want.

Does anyone have an old console they don’t want anymore?  I’m mainly looking for the ambient led that’s mounted in the overhead console. Also curious if a dremel will give the glasses holder any more space.

I did this to my 2015 LT. it's plug and play. Only 2 screws holding it in.  Bought everything I needed n Ebay for about $100.00

I have my old one I pulled out when I did the homelink one, you want to buy? :)

    • New to diesel trucks. I happened to find my oil cooler leaking oil externally with only 4,000 miles on the truck. I didn’t realize this was an issue until I started researching it. Dealer is going to replace it under warranty but I’m wondering if there’s anything GM is working on to fix this issue. I’ve heard the oil filter used is the same as they use on their V6 motors and that’s what is causing the problems. Should I switch to a bigger filter or keep using the OEM recommended? 
    • So, GMCustomerService:  Judging by the Update History pictured above, is this truck missing any updates that it actually needs. If it's just for the infotainment system, the radio is working fine and no trouble with SeriusXM. and Android Auto is working fine wirelessly with my phone. Some months ago, an update notice was sent to my truck. I approved the update and it finished saying that the update was successful, but it seems that whatever that update was, it didn't actually get installed - at least not if I'm to go by the Update History shown above.   So, again, are there any updates that this truck really should have? I've checked with my dealer but they're reluctant or commit to anything and if I want them to check, they require a $200.00 fee just to check it out and then I'd have to pay for the actual update(s).    Ignorance is bliss, and if none of the updates goes to fixing any mechanical discrepancies, I'll just leave things as is.  
    • Hey everyone, I recently had an issue with my 07 2500HD GMT900. My DRL’s stay on at all times. Right front turn and right mirror turn signal indicator stay on solid at all times. By “at all times” I mean the only way to make them go off is disconnecting the battery. I tore the headlight assemblies out, tried disconnecting the harnesses to eliminate bad wiring at the harness, I unplugged the headlight switch, no change and the mirror turn signal still stayed on. My first thoughts were : Bad bulb and/or socket somewhere, under hood fuse panel bad, bcm bad, tail light or trailer wiring problem, or some random short to power in the harness.  Possibly a bad ground but unlikely. I had a big clue in the fuse panel, it had a burnt smell. I started pulling every fuse that had to do with DRL or right turn/park lamp. Nothing made the right directional turn off but pulling the DRL2 fuse made the DRL’s go out.  After studying wiring diagrams, I found that both problems had that fuse panel in common, the bcm also controls both problems but knowing the fuse panel had a burnt smell I removed and disassembled the fuse panel and found a little corrosion on the printed circuit board.  I ordered a new fuse panel from Amazon for like $260. When it arrived I installed it, and put everything back together, the problem was fixed. I figured the fuse panel needed to be replaced anyway so that was a logical place to start. Hopefully this story helps someone in the future. Regretfully I didn’t scan for codes before I did everything.
    • That stinks. I’m sitting on the side of the road right now with the same issue. Never had an issue before taking it in for the ground strap recall. Now I’m outside of warranty and they’ll probably want $200 just to diagnose what they already “fixed”. 
    • I wonder kind of nuts and bolts they will come up with next? Jim
