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

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

    • Oil pump noise was discussed before.  I will try to remember to record a remote start later this morning. 
    • There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65
    • On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
    • 2024 Chevrolet 2500 HD Custom 6.6 Gas Canadian built Truck  I tried to search for my previous thread on this topic but cant find it so my apoligies  for starting another one    #1   Since we have owned our truck purchased new it has this strange noise after using the remote start function  you press the remote start and you hear it start but right at the end of it starting it almost seems like it wants to start again after the truck is running .   There is no gap in time it is right at the end of the start . Almost sounds like when you have started a car/truck and its running and then you try and start it again and you get that grinding noise ,sort of     #2  You can only hear this if you are standing outside of the truck and near the truck  you cant hear it when you start the truck from inside  the cab . So it may very well be happening when starting the truck that way as in normally    #3   This only happens when it is started after sitting . For how long I don't know but it happens after sitting overnight for sure and it wont do it if you stop the engine after starting and then start it again  I have had it in to the Dealership before concerning this but they did not have the truck  when it was cold to hear it . Now its back in the Dealership left it overnight so they could possibly hear the problem . They said they tried and nothing happened . Well they did not know what they were listening for . I started the truck remotely and BINGO it makes the noise . Oh that sounds weird they say . We need to look into it ! I have left for this week at the Dealership    Does your 2024 2500 HD gas do this ?  Any of you fellas care to take the time and trouble to film this operation from a cold start  so I can hear what your sound like  Really  would like to know if this is anormal sound  Thank You Fellas !!
    • 2026 Z71.  The other day I was backing a trailer into the barn.  The alarm was going off just because the trailer was in the field of the warning sensors when you get too close to something.  For some reason now the warning alarm doesn't work anymore.  It used to go off when I was just normally backing my truck into garage.  I still have the guidelines in the back up camera.  Is there a button or something to push to turn the sound/Alarm on and off?  I have the touch screen in this truck.  There isn't a "P" on the dash except for the parking brake.  I can't find anything in the touch screen under settings or vehicle.  Thank you in advance.
