Ill take that trade lol, i prefer the one piece that my 2014 had. When u come up to Canada for the swap, bring me a set of 24" strada codas with you from cali haha

I would be interested in a trade for a sliding rear window.  I have 2020 LT solid rear window.  I am near Yellowstone NP..

Maybe someone in northern mountains?  Near zero virus cases here.

 

I don't know what the situation is for border crossing with Canada due to Covid-19 crap.  Anyone know?

 

Cheers,

YMMV

I use mine as well and love it! It stops the buffeting when all the windows are down and really moves the air thru the cab.

Ok changed out from solid and now have a power slider. @pgamboa really helped me out. This guy knows the wiring of these trucks like the back of his hand.

So if someone wanted it shipped and paid for it, the solid is available to ship now as well. Packed in box ready to go. 188901e297641d7af1bee751ef18de5f.jpg

Nice!  I installed the GM power slider in my uplevel 2018 SLT.  It was pretty much plug n play.  Did you have to drill holes through the cab to mount the power slider motor?  I did not have the threaded studs in place.

That is strange that your truck did not com with that option.

 

Did you put the factory switch in the overhead console?

Yes, all factory.  I only had to add the fuse block on passenger side, along with the short console wire harness.  The harness going down to the driver fuse block and junction block had the needed trigger wires and power wire.  I think having the sunroof and noise cancellation gave me the needed harness.  Of course I bought the console trim panel and switch.  I have to give credit to Mike (mkwambold) for all the help and encouragement.

That means you have a down level SLT, not an up level one.  The base and premium packages didn't have the power sliding window.  Could only be had on the Premium Plus (or Denali, of course).

IDK???? 6.2 lt, Sunroof, heated and cooled seats, bose with console, 4x4, navigation, heated steering wheel.  The only thing it does not have is the driver safety package which I don't care for.  Happy with my new sliding rear window :)

Also front parking assist, LED headlamps, trailer brake controller (unless bought as a separate line item), spray in bed liner (again, unless bought as a separate line item).  I saw several packaged at dealers that were Premium units with several stand-alone options to like buckets and Bose to get it like the Premium Plus but the price ended up not being much less once optioned out that way.

Howdy, All...

I also want to install a slider in my 2017 Sierra. I wanted to ask those that have done this:

did you do yourself? I’m having issues finding a business that will do it.
what did you install? Factory or aftermarket?

did you have to remove the headliner?

Thanks for any tips,

~Freeman

Most shops shy away from installing something that was not originally installed from the factory.  Most people that have done this mod do all the work themselves with the exception of installing the window it self.  My glass shop did NOT want to install mine saying the truck was not set up for it.  When I pressed them on the matter, they said the whole rear seat and interior has to come out. and they did not want to get involved.  When I let them know that I had removed all that myself, they went ahead and did it for me. 60.00 to remove the old glass and 60.00 to install the new GM one.  If your truck has a sunroof it is mostly plug n' play; at least it was for me in my 2018 SLT sierra.

Just do what I did.  All you need is the right side fuse block for trucks with the power slider, a new upper console wire harness that is applicable to the slider and any other options you currently have, a new trim plate that will support the rear slider switch, the rear window and the power window motor.  You may, or may not have to, run three wires down to you brake controller junction block and driver's side fuse block.  These are the open and close signal and 12vlt power.  I did not have to do this as my truck had the correct harness, this was most likely because I have a sunroof and the noise cancellation options. Just make sure you have the back seats and garnish moldings off when you go to install the rear window.  Let me know if you need help with any thing else or part numbers.

No I used elevator studs and jb weld. After it dried it worked great

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

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

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
