My first post, just put a nice dent in my bumper yay. The parking assist sensors still function and everything works fine. I think I just need the plastic surrounding and the steel chrome bumper peice, but I'm really not sure. Can the bumper be easily taken apart and fixed like this or should I get a whole new bumper?

 

I have seen just the steel chrome bumper peices sold separately on eBay for pretty cheap but not sure on quality. I would like to keep the cost low. I appreciate any help thanks for ya time

You need a new outer chrome bumper face bar along with a new step pad for the top. May be able to just straighten the sub structure if it's not bent hard.

Get a new chrome bumper shell and top pad. Spend an afternoon and transfer the all the old pieces to the new bumper. Theres no braces or brackets behind that area of the bumper that you have to worry about being bent.

Lucky you!! On 12/1 I was approaching a red light and stopped, and a nice old lady decided to slam into the azz end of my '16 Silverado Z71, which btw has just shy of 2,500 miles on it :shakehead: Bumper replacement painted, along with the plastic steps/trim is about $2,000 parts + labor.

Thanks for all the replies. I do want to color match all of my chrome but would be a little pricey for me right now. I'm just focusing on repairing this dent for now.

 

I'm going to look through craigslist later tonight to see if there are any deals. I would rather not have to pay the price for those two parts brand new.

I can't find any rear bumpers or part-outs on Craigslist close to me. A local salvage yard called me back and said they have a rear bumper off a 2014 Silverado that is chrome and has parking sensors $800 price tag. What do you all think? On the other hand I can order just the 2 parts brand new for $635. I don't know what else to do

Take the cash and buy a bumper of Houston area CL. No shortage of GM truck parts there. Use the leftover grand on hookers.

Take it off, bang it out as good as you can and put it back on. It is a truck bumper, it should have little dings or dents if used. This is also why painted sucks, if you so much as breath on it the thing scuffs, chips, cracks or rubs away. Chrome is much tougher.

 

Did the same thing when I backed in to a poll in HS, could barely tell it was there the chrome made it hard to see. To each their own though...

      Whoever greenlighted the work truck matte black front bumpers on every trim but the AT4X should be fired!  I was hoping that was an AI mistake, but just realized they were on every model of the 2027 Silverado too.     Some parts of the interior do look premium, but the Denali Ultimate dashboard looks like an afterthought.  At least they appear to have lost the microfiber the high end Silverado models showed, but the '27 High Country dash looks better than the Denali.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      New member here. I am researching a read-first event-recorder concept for late-model GM V8 trucks. This is not a sales post. There is no product link, price, preorder, or mailing list. I am trying to determine whether the underlying problem is real before building anything.   Has your truck ever had a brief problem such as: - rough running or a momentary misfire - an oil-pressure warning or unusual pressure event - reduced power or a brief stall - a U-code or lost-communication problem - a symptom that disappeared before the dealer or independent shop could reproduce it   If so, I would appreciate the following details: - year, model, engine, and mileage - what happened and under what conditions - whether a DTC and useful freeze-frame data were stored - whether the shop was able to reproduce it - what the eventual confirmed repair was, if known - what additional information would have helped the diagnosis   The concept being evaluated is a removable leave-in recorder that continuously retains a rolling window from before and after an event. It would not tune, reflash, clear codes, or change the vehicle calibration.   I am also not claiming that it could predict lifter failure or see every internal ECM variable.   The real question is whether continuous event history would add enough useful evidence beyond freeze frame, GDS2, and existing scan tools — or whether it would simply be another unnecessary gadget.   For owners and technicians, which problem would make something like this genuinely useful: 1. intermittent misfire or AFM/DFM-related behavior 2. oil-pressure events 3. lost communication or electrical faults 4. none of the above Please be blunt. Negative feedback is just as useful as positive feedback.

      No tears over the SLE and SLT trim levels disappearing but I kind of loathe the "Elevation" name. It's a truck--skip the elegance.   The slab-dashboard design is decidedly different. Almost has a Hummer flavor to it. "Professional Grade" seems to be leaning very white-collar, tech-driven these days moreso than blue-collar, functional design.   The Silverado would be my choice between the two new trucks. Pleased with the engine lineup in both. The GMC is a little "too much" for a truck, IMO, and the Denali borders on ridiculous - but I do know there are buyers for luxury trucks out there. It's just not my speed.

      - I like the outside but not as much as the Chevrolet.  They ICE'd the EV styling and it works, but I think exterior goes to Chevy on this one.     - SLE and SLT dead = Not.  Surprising.  Fits into the rest of the GMC lineup like this which (aside from Pro) matches the rest of the family.  Elevation, AT4, Denali.     - Interior.  Sophisticated Malaise era.  Why do I say Malaise?  Drawn with a ruler.  Rectangles everywhere.  Looks very premium though.
