Skid Plates?

You can buy the 2 front skid plates seperate and save a little money. I found the part numbers and went to the dealer and ordered them.

 

The part #s for the skids are:

Front from behind bumper to first crossmember. 23135960

Rear from first to second crossmembers under axle/rack. 23135959

Do you know if these would have to be modified as per CamCamero1991's post below?

 

They will work, however on my 2016 I had to enlarge the rear holes on the front plate, 2 sets of plates did not bolt up. (front only)

Which part number(s) did you buy that you had to modify? The individual plates or the 3-piece kit?

 

The picture on GM's site is of the plastic shield but you get the aluminum ones. I just got mine last week and had them sprayed in Line-X.

 

Did you have to modify your plates at all to fit your 2016, as per CamCamaro1991 mentioned?

My holes were slightly off. I had seen his comment prior to my install so I expected some variance. I also knew it would be a tighter fit due to the bed liner spray. I used a drill to shave a little off and fit all bolts very loosely and worked my way around a little at the time. That front plate would not have fit out of the box without a little widening of the holes. Sorry I didn't mention that earlier. Also one reason I didn't try to order the plates separately is I wasn't sure they would include the proper bolts although you could use the ones from the plastic shield and cross members.

So if I order the separate 2 plates. I will be fine with the bolts coming off the plastic piece (2 bigger bolts/4 smaller) then the 2 bolts from driver side diff support and 2 bolts in passenger side diff support. No extras are needed?

You'll need 8 large bolts for the new front plates so I guess you would be short 2...

It's not really any cheaper to get them separate because the shipping almost doubles

For the extra 6$ you'll get he transfer skid and the bolts for it all so that's not a bad investment over just the 2 plates.

That looks great and should be super durable. I've already sent an email to my local dealership to get a quote.

I paid like $120 to spray mine.

My bed liner dealer charged $100 to spray my step bars and brackets. I'll get a price for the plates.

 

AND, does the hole in the second plate give access to the oil filter? Read where another guy covered it because it didn't.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
