Top Bed tie downs?


Recommended Posts

Posted

Mine were in the box on the floor in the back of the cab of my Sierra SLE, Crew Cab, 6.5' box.

 

They each have stamped into them "250lbs".

 

They can be placed in any of the 9 oval holes around the upper perimeter of the bed according to my owners manual.

The tie downs are standard on the LTZ and the High Country. I had a set in the backseat when I purchased the truck last year.

 

Got a second set off EBay

 

BTW the GM versions are rated at 350 lbs each.

They did not come on my LTZ and were not listed under the options on my sticker.

 

Another truck I looked at they were listed on the sticker.

You are correct. I missed that as well as being standard on all GMC trims, they are also standard on High Country.

Are you sure they were not on the option list on the window sticker?

I don't think they were which is why I thought they were standard on GMC's. It was also a year ago so who knows.

They are not on my windows sticker, and they were under my backseat. GMC SLE. But I think they are 250 lbs. The warning is that the bed will buckle before the tie down will show any fatigue.

 

I think my bedliner is sprayed on all except the 4 top corner holes so I'd have trouble moving them.

FWIW, the GM tie downs are standard on GMC, but not Chev.

 

I had no idea and was going to buy them, but when I picked my truck up the dealer had already installed them. When I installed my Retrax bed cover I had to move the ones closes the cab to the center holes. Pretty easy to uninstall and reinstall.

I bought my off of Amazon for $50. I have the crappy GM plastic bedliner and took it out and used a hole saw to drill out the holes just big enough for the tie downs to stick out. Put them at each corner. With the smaller hole drilled out no one can steal them because they can't pass through (at least not easily steal them).

I got them and not sure I'd ever use them. They sit down in the steak pockets.

We may be talking about different things. These ones do not go in stake pockets.

 

They fit in the holes covered by the removable oval plastic plugs in the box sides. There are 9 possible locations.

 

Cargo Tiedowns are covered page 4-3 and 4-4 of 2015 sierra OM.

 

Load rating is 250 lbs and there is a warning about box damage if overloaded.

Mine came with 4 and the salseman told me they all come with 4. When I picked it up they were already installed and the plastic caps were in the glovebox. I will check the window sticker when I get off.

All sierras come with 4 as standard.

 

High Country is the only chev that has them standard.

    • This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.  
    • 2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.  
    • Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
    • Probably not their first rodeo, so it should go as planned most likely.  Typically the service manager or tech doing the swap will put some seat time to shake it down after they get it all put back together.  We usually put 50-100mi before we hand them back so if something happens, its not after you get it.  A coolant leaks, oil leaks, a ground left off or loose, vibration, etc.     The new engines so far have been good?  There's been a couple that have popped out there again (the replacement engine) but most have been okay.
