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.

Sorry, it was $750 and yes to remove and add.

I'm another non slider guy. I like the cleaner look and unobstructed view. My last truck had it and the only time I used it was when the kids would open it then complain about it and not be able too shut it.

I love mine. I don't really use during the summer down here (Houston). Way to hot, but in the season we call "winter" I use it all the time. It creates a good air flow on the cooler days. Plus the rear defog is really nice since my truck is often covered in dew in the mornings.

I use mine occasionally when it's warm and the windows are down. I wish it was like the one the Toyota Tundras had where the whole back window goes down into the body. Those are cool.

Anyone know info for something like this?

I got behind a first gen Nissan Titan leaving work today and this looked earily similar.

Yes. CR Laurence makes one and I've really been eyeing it.

OK guys / girls so i tried to do a post the how to install rear power sliding  window the other day and  it  all went south all there is in  my post is the  GM upfitter  wiring diagrams  so ill give it another go i did the power sliding rear window upgrade on my 2016 2500 silverado LTZ duramax crew cab short bed 4x4  now this will seam hard to do but its not  I have found info on the internet  that states  only the higher end models have the rear wiring in place so first thing you need to do is check that only way i know how to do this is pull the rear seats and rubber mat  from the rear of the cab and look on the passengers side mid way up for the wire plug with nothing plugged into  it if its there your set for a fairly easy install now  my truck did not have the weld studs in place for the motor to mount to so this is what i did i installed the power slider with the motor taped to the glass then after it set up i dropped the motor and  lined it up on the mounting boss`s there are 3 raised boss`s on that side just move the motor around  you will see were it  lines up (the motor is attached to the regulator by two push pull cables so it will hang and line just about right up)  i drilled 3 1/4 " holes in the back of the cab (be careful so you don`t  poke the bed its close) then i used 3 14-20" SS bolts with metal rubber sealing washers on the outside and  used   3M  strip calk 08578 to make  3 calk washers to install on the rubber side of the sealing washer to make sure  i have no leaks i put the bolts and  washers in place with a sivitec 323423 flex claw tool and  mounted the motor and plugged it  in done  back there for now  moving to the overhead console open the glass`s holder and insert your hand in between the front  of the glass`s holder and the console and  pull down the hole section were the led`s and the switches will pop down look up inside the back portion of the console and you will see two torx pull them out  then go to the front of the console  grab the two sides and  pull down there are two spring  clips holding it in there so you need to pull a bit drop it  down and  go to the main harness plug and  detach it  no the plug left  up there is the (X316 headliner harness to console plug)   your going to add 3 wires to this plug ill get to that in a bit you do not  need to drop the headliner there is  plenty  rum to feed your new 3 wire  harness you are going to make in the front  of the headliner you do need to pull the drivers side pillar post cover do this by popping out the two small plastic screw covers on the grab handle  and then pull the two screws remove grab handle the pillar cover is held in by spring  clips im going to list  the wires you need to add now  and wear they  come from and go to this is easy make your harness with the overhead wire ends installed and  let the other ends blank for now 

 

first  wire is going to be the power wire  from the driver side fuse block (X51L) fuse block instrument  panel left to the  overhead console truck harness plug (X316)   pull the X51L block out its held in by retaining clips very easy to pull  look on the back side for the X3 plug pop it out  and  find pin# 11 install your wire with proper GM terminal end in there make sure you have the tang on the  terminal end facing the right way look at the others to see how its installed  run this wire up to the overhead X316 overhead console plug and find pin#23 add this to that  location 

 

next wire is going to be the closed signal wire  this wire comes from the X61A  junction block  this is the box under the dash behind the brake pedal next to the E brake  you have to pop the cover off it  find the X3 pin plug unplug it  and  install your wire end  into  pin # 26 run this wire up to X316  overhead  console truck harness pin #20 

 

next will be  the  open signal wire from the X61A junction block  this is the box under the dash behind the brake pedal next to the E brake in the same  X3 pin plug find pin #32 install your pin and run this wire up to  X316  and  install into pin# 19 

     

THINGS YOU NEED TO INSTALL      

1. rear power sliding  window with regulator and  motor 

2. the proper overhead console with rear slider switch in it  (order with all the options in your overhead console now and then add power slider to it) THERE ARE MANY  

3. passenger side fuse box  

4. two lower trim panels under power sliding  window (old ones will not fit)  or cut 

5. 20 - 25 foot of wire GM terminal wire ends that fit the plugs and fuse box  3 - 1/4--20" bolts sealing flat washers and  nuts  

 

I DID THIS INSTALL CHEAP  I GOT ALL MY  PARTS FROM A SALVAGE YARD EVERYTHING  FOR 400.00 IT DID TAKE ME A BIT TO UNDERSTAND  THE GM UPFITTER WIRE DIAGRAM BUT ALL THE HARD WORK IS DONE FOR YOU JUST FOLLOW THE UPFITTER PLUG AND PIN LOCATIONS I HAVE ATTACHED AND  MY INSTRUCTIONS 

IF YOU NEED MORE HELP OR ADVISE EMAIL [email protected] /CALL/TEXT  610-730-2789  leave a VM  JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW IM NO ELECTRICAL GUY I SUCK AT IT BUT I MADE MY WAY THROUGH THIS WITH LITTLE TROUBLE ALSO KNOW  DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK I WILL NOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR WIRE FIRES WRONG INSTALL OR DUMB MISTAKES GOOD LUCK

    • Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol    
    • You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !
    • This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.  
    • My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page
