Hey guys! Wondering if you might be able to help me solve a problem here. 

 

I purchased my truck around a month ago. Got a good deal on it but there have been some cosmetic issues on the interior I've been dealing with slowly but surely. 

 

One of them is that my Menu button on my selector knob for the entertainment system is cracked. Other than the fact I'm super anal and this crack is all I can focus on, it also affects the functionality of the radio as the cracked edges stop the selector from spinning. 

 

I called my dealership and they said my only option was to replace the entire radio panel including HVAC controls and the screen. So, I'm turning to you guys. Is this in fact the case or am I able to replace the button alone. 

 

Here's a pic for reference of what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance.

Not looking to repair, looking to replace. The cracked edges of the face are getting in the way of the edges on the inside of the selector scroll knob and stopping the entire thing from turning. 

 

It's not just for looks, but functionality.

check out a junk yard for a donor dash assembly? maybe look for a electronics repair shop if you don't think you can repair. other than replacing whole assembly from dealer.

I don't mean I am looking to replace the whole assembly. I'm looking to replace the menu button. The piece of plastic inside.

 

I have full confidence in disassembling the unit, I'm just looking to source the button.

 

The dealership wanted like $600+ to get a new unit in which is crazy. Being that these are 2014-2018's, not a ton of them are in junkyards yet.

 

If anyone knows where I can source just the menu piece or if there is a company who does part-outs please let me know.

then my question would be where are you gonna find a button like that? thats why i suggested a donor assembly from a junk yard. unless amazon sells that button with the same dimensions and color and font i could post a link to amazon for you.  do you know anyone that upgraded to an aftermarket radio? maybe they can  donate a button for you.

I see some on ebay that include the screen as well as the knobs, but it's gonna set you back around $100 at the cheapest. But that's about as granular as I see to source the knobs. It also poo poo's the idea that you also need the HVAC knobs as your stealership stated.

if you can find the part (again... a junk yard might be your best bet) it is possible to get in and replace just the knob.

 

check this post from my build thread...  center console/entertainment/hvac

 

you also might want to send ravenkeeper a pm - his truck was wrecked a month or so ago - maybe he can pull it from his truck and send it to you??

Your post is what actually gave me hope that it could be done. I will send the keeper of the birds a message. Thanks!

i noticed that!!  :)   greetings from the okanagan!

 

are you guys being spared all this lovely forest fire smoke?  holy it's been bad this last while in kelowna - like brutally bad.  with most of the province on fire right now it doesn't seem to matter if we get a change in wind direction.  it just means we get smoke from a different fire  :(

 

normal view from my place:

a few weeks ago the smoke wasn't 'bad' and it looked like this:

IMG_0941.thumb.JPG.4a82395ce03351d309fb14daa5e69618.JPG

 

for the last couple weeks it's been so thick that both the westside and the lake have disappeared

 

 

oh - i had a thought...  what about contacting junkyards in calgary/edmonton/northern alberta?  there's probably more trucks there than in all of bc!  (and likely more wrecks of 2014 and later gms).

Yea man, pretty bad here too! Blood sunsets.

 

Check these guys out for your own advantage. Better stock than any of the AB junkyards and close to you.

@th3magpi3, unfortunately by the time @bc-chris referred you in my direction, my truck was already at a salvage auction yard, here in CA.  I've been trying to find it, to buy some of the parts off of it for my '18.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
