my windows are open anytime it is nice outside, I would rather have the fresh outside air and feel the breeze. Mine was supposed to have the slider but it was deleted right before it was built at the plant. If I could get it for $1200 I might consider it and would use it anytime the windows are open and down as it really helps with in cab turbulence.

Yeah, mine is a power sliding w/defrost. It actually does a good job at eliminating the turbulance when you want to drive with the windows down. The biggest problem is trying to remember to close it

Non slider looks much better. Ive had both and the slider was useless IMO. Like the clean smooth look of a non slider.

I wish there was an aftermarket kit that would drop the whole back window (like the Tundra has). That would be worth $1200 to me!   Not sure the little box in the middle is worth that kind of money

I went out of my way to ensure I got my truck with the power rear slider. I love it and use it almost daily when the weather is nice. I agree with others too saying it helps a lot getting rid of in-cab turbulence with the other windows open. I just open the back up a couple of inches and the air flow is great. Well worth it to me, but again, to each their own.....

I have only had my truck for a couple of months but a power slider was a must for me. When I had the 2003 Ram I sold before I bought the Denali, I routinely put long boards, trim, etc in through the rear window so the ends would fit in the bed. I love being able to do that without climbing in the back seat to open the window.

Love my rear slider and have it open every chance I get. Now just have to get used to remembering to close it which I seem to have a mental block about at times. In Seattle this can be problematic. A couple of weeks ago when I was on a business trip I get a phone call from my roomie saying "It's pouring here. Is your back window supposed to be open?" I was like "What do you think, sunshine?" D'oh! :)

I use mine all the time. With the windows down and the sunroof / slider open, it's pretty close to having a convertible truck. And the kids love it.

So with the Auto down feature on the remote, can we mod this to open as well? Im hoping it would be as easy as a rely like the fog lights. any thoughts?

I use mine quite often because of the turbulence with the regular windows. Now with that said, I would prefer the view of a solid window instead of the tiny slider. Wish the big 3 would copy Toyota and do the full roll down rear like the crew cab Tundra and 4Runner. That would be the best of both worlds. You get the perfect amount of ventilation with no turbulence and unnecessary to roll any other window down with the great rear view.

It does look like a Titan back glass. Is that a custom job fitting a Titan window in the GM, or is this a kit that's actually on the market?

I use my slider when backing up a trailer at night since I got 5% tint on the back.

 

Or if I fart in truck its a great way to get the smell sucked into the back instead of the side windows past my face. :throwup:

If it isn't raining or freezing, my windows are down and the slider is open. I don't care how hot it is. Drives my wife crazy. I love my slider.

Not sure. Found the picture online and saved it.

I was quoted $700 for the slider from a dealer in Maine before I bought the all-terrain.

was this to remove the old window and install a new one? if so that seems like a hell of a deal. on the other hand, it's only a $250-$300 option on the sticker so if that's what your talking about, not such a good deal.

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      By revmanii · Posted

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
