Does anyone know what the measurements are of the door moldings. I just bought the molding for my WT and it does not have it on there currently. I just want to make sure they look right. I was told 1-2 inches from the door hump, but I would rather have real numbers. If anyone could measure how far from the bottom of the door to the bottom of the trim and then the sides to the side of the door that would be awesome! Thanks in advance!

Just measured it, 18.5 centimeters from the seam where bottom of the door meets the kick plate to the bottom of the chrome molding.

 

I stuck the tape measure's end in the door seam gap and pulled it up to the molding is how I have measured it.

My recommendation, use clear tape (long enough where it just hangs, keep bottom untaped) and try and get it to where it is suppose to be, once it looks good, then remove the double sided tape wax paper and let go to let it meet the door.

Thanks for all the info and advice! Hopefully the trim will be here tomorrow so I can analyze what needs to be done, but if I read your advise right it sounds like that would be pretty easy. I will let you know when I get it on and post some pics. BTW I love your truck! To bad they did not continue to all-terrain in Summit White!

yeah, in sense, have it dangling with 2 piece of tape first, that way you can flip it up and remove the double sided tape's wax paper and flip it back to the right orientation.

 

Lets see it when it is done!

For sure! I might be a few days... Its been raining like crazy the past few days here in the great state of Texas haha. If I can tonight I will... I'm like a kid in a candy store when things come for my truck.

 

Is the trim in the middle of the door with equal amount of door on both sides or is the front door trim all the way to the edge on the back of the door?

Totally missed the part you need side to side, I go measure it in a bit. Just got up from bed :D

 

If anything, I expect them to be referenced from where the front and rear door meets, not center of the door itself. Because the trim tapers off to the front and the back. Where the two doors meets are the same thickness

Hopefully, this gives you an idea, please note, it is in mm, so about 1.45 centimeters in between

That does not really tell me anything... mainly because it is such a small measurement haha. I will just try to line it up and then pull up the pic to see if it looks about right. I could probably even print it out and use it as a template to some degree. Thanks so much for all the measurements! I will post pics when I get it done!


BTW is your door seal white?

That is where front and rear door meets, that is the "gap" you are looking for.

 

No, all seal are black rubber tubing.

DONE!! That was the most tedious work I have done on my truck so far, but it was worth it! The pic worked perfectly as a template by the way! I attached two after shots and one before shot.

 

Okay. I looked at mine with a flashlight after I asked about your seals. I thought that there was a black seal in between the front and back door like in between the front door and fender. I guess you learn something new everyday.

 

Thanks again for all your help!

Hey y'all, I was looking at my truck tonight and realized that the trim seemed to go down towards the back. I made a fish hook with a fishing line for the measurements and it worked perfectly. Is what I did is hook it under the door and pull it up and then mark with tape. The trim is straight with the bottom of the door, but is not parallel with the hump and the gap between the hump and the trim gets bigger towards the back of the truck. Just wanted to see if this is the same on y'alls truck. Is the 18.5 centimeters consistent from front to back or is that just in the middle? Thanks again!

      2026 6.6 L5P oil cooler leaking oil at 4,000 miles

      By Brendan C · Posted

      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?

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By Vu1can · Posted

      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.

      Electrical Problem - solved

      By CNH-320 · Posted

      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”.
