Here is where Im at so far on the rear sliding upgrade,   Window installed   Switch and plate installed   Relays in place   Wiring might not look as clean as factory installed but once I

Yes factory wiring is already in place. I would only need to add this 2 parts and I'll be set

Nevermind wires are only on the rear to connect the motor but non at the overhead console nor at the fuse box. Let me figure this out and I'll post what ever I come up with. I could always just use a

I highly doubt it is worth wiring up.

 

Better off just going with a manual window if it is must have. I mean anything is possible but it would cost a ton i bet, so much it might even be more financially feasible to trade it in.

I was pretty insistent on mine having the solid glass when I bought it. Mainly as a visual thing but also because I didn't want the package with the bells and whistles. In retrospect it would have been nice to have it for airflow I think or if I wanted to smoke my cigars in it without having all the windows open.

I don't think it would be hard at all. Just hit up a junkyard and piece it together from there. I would say under $500 total.

 

Rear window, electric regulator under it, wiring from the window through the headliner and then the overhead console. I'm sure it's not a hard swap.

I wanted the solid glass on mine. I don't like how small the opening in the window is. I really wish more manufacturers would make the whole back window sliding glass like Toyota has.

I agree with this. Does anyone know if Toy'nope'a holds a patent on this or something, i mean they must if no one else is doing it right.

 

I originally wanted a sliding window for my dog in the back but mine has the premium/defrost and no sliding window. I even bought my canopy with a sliding window. Since the canopy's window can only be manual I had intended to swap to a manual one in cab too. I kind of gave up on that idea after reading a bunch about pet safety in accidents and learning that there is really no safe place for an animal in the event of an accident. Air bags are lethal to a lot of pets, and I figured having your dogs head through the rear window is just a possible decapitation waiting to happen.

I too love the Toyota back glass rolling down. But am not a fan of the Toyota Tundra look. Although I will say that I respect the tundra, just don't want one for me.

Are you doing factory wire?

Pics of it when done please. I'm very interested

      AFM Experience

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Question @diyer2 on this line if you please. Are you saying the shudder is the system turning on and off at the frequency of the shudder? Guess I'm asking if you are saying you have seen it do this with the bi-direction scan tool in graph mode? If so have you been able to discern the 'trigger'. Something is telling to cycle rapidly.    My truck just started doing this recently. 197K on the clock. My response has been M5 anything under 55 mph. I treat it like a lugging stick shift. Gear down and let it spin a bit. Engauge M5, then tow mode and then M6 lets the trans stay in 5th but the AFM is active. Smooth like Skippy.    My thought was that as a machine ages the friction gets lower and as the system is load based, the lower friction would allow it to turn on at ever lower rpm until it reaches the lugging point. And yes I am ignorant of any minimum rpm requirement for the system. If you know that would be useful information.    As you know I run a Scan-Gauge II which allows me to watch the On/Off of the signal to the VLOM. While in the shudder mode I'm not seeing is cycle at that frequency or at all for that matter outside the triggers @newdude posted a few years back. Now is it possible that the refresh rate isn't fast enough to catch it? Maybe. It is why I asked my first question about graphing and trigging parameter.     As we have observed from members here the failure point is all over the map miles wise as you note yourself in your opening post. That by itself begs a few questions like fellows that comment on these lifters failing even after the system has been disabled. Long after. 😬   https://www.enginelabs.com/news/tech-tips-replacing-ls-active-fuel-management-lifters-with-melling/   The Gen5 lifters operate the same as the LS versions. In fact they are the same lifter.    https://www.enginelabs.com/tech-stories/sorting-out-gen-v-lt-lifter-failure-with-a-simple-valvetrain-fix/

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      UPDATE 2: Steering wheel control backlights and control of the cluster can supposedly be achieved by adding a wire to pin 20 of the cluster and tapping it to pin 2 of the main clock spring harness. I'm going to give it a shot - will update

      Seems to be Missing a lot of Updates

      By newdude · Posted

      GM Global A pickups 2019-2022 can do OTA programming for the radio.  GM VIP (GM Global B) can do OTAs for almost every module on board.  So a 2022.5 and newer pickup can do OTAs for recalls like the 2.7 fuel flow recall.  EVs get OTAs that improve one pedal driving, radio issues, HVAC issues, updated battery management software, etc.     So age of the vehicle/what GM electrical platform its on will alter what amount of updates can be pushed on OTAs.

      Upgrade to a 2026 AT4 with the 3.0L Duramax

      By Blade8971 · Posted

      Thank You.   So far my new ride is making me look like a genius for going with the 3.0L, as my first fuel refill occurred over three weeks from when I took delivery.  This engine combination is very amazing.  So far no issues and had not done a regen yet.

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am curious as to how much fluid you put back in the transmission ( assuming you had replaced the filter to compare to my findings ) and then went through the process of warming up the trans before pulling the check plug to drain out the excess and if you measured how much came back out.    I just found it surprising that some claimed a certain amount less fluid being put in and then draining some back out. The attitude of the truck as per if the surface is level and how the trucks stance is would make quite a difference since the check plug is right at the front of the transmission.
