What is the little white/silver object attached to the tab extending thru the metal part of the bumper (arrow pointing to it)? I need to replace my step pad, and the ones I've seen on ebay and such only seem to have the plastic tab in this spot, but do not seem to have the whit/silver/metal retainer part. My current pad is damaged and has plastic tabs missing, and therefore I cannot see how these parts are assembled on my own vehicle. For those of you who have removed and reinstalled your plastic step pads, does this thing fit thru the plastic tab to hold it in place? Does anyone know if when I order the step pad from a gm parts website if these retainer clips for the tabs are included or are they separate parts? Any help is much appreciated!

I think I have some extra clips at home. I can post a picture this evening if that helps?

I believe this is the clip you're searching for.

Do they come with the pad if you order a new one or are they a separate part? Thanks for posting!

That I'm not positive.. I'm sure a parts salesman at a dealership could find that out though.

Those definitely came off the plastic pad? Hmmm. Hopefully they are included. I am talking with a parts guy now so we will see what he says. On all the GM parts websites with the diagrams I don't see any part listed on the bumper assembly that looks like those clips, so hopefully that means they come with the pad! Thanks!

Hey just to update anyone who is interested...the clips do NOT come with the pad, they are a separate part and the number is 11562363.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      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.
