For those struggling, I've compiled a Google Doc with all the kits, part numbers and my install process.   https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cudKHwiVgJA549Vl_Dyt6bqa1RRblfEMvxkkEm8c9-s/edi

I contacted GM upfitter support and got this response a couple months ago:       ImageAndParts.pdf ImageAndParts (1).pdf ImageAndParts (2).pdf

84942073 is the number I gave to the dealer. I just looked up the individual parts and it seems the big holdup is the 2 bolts you need. It's the only part number I'm seeing an issue with.

Well ordered 84942073 from gmpartsdirect.com,  from everything I researched it should be the the correct kit for both the 1500 and the 2500HD.

Your order will be canceled by gmpartsdirect.com within a day or 2. Scroll up to post #205.

Don't waste your time with the internet parts sites (gmpartsdirect.com) for lookups on this kit.  Go to your dealer and provide them with the matrix and ask them to search the GM global P/N list for these 'kits'.  I had similar experiences online and over the phone until I physically went to the dealer's parts department.  Lastly, feel free to email the GM up fitter to verify if new numbers exist.  I found them to be very responsive.   Had they not provided me with the parts matrix to show the dealer (and make sure you have a competent parts person with a decent attitude helping you) I would not have been successful procuring them.

I may have found a kit. I'll keep everybody updated once I can confirm.

Guy, do not use the web to order this kit. Go directly to the dealer. I ordered the appropriate upgrade kit from the upfitter web site. It came on Friday, ordered three days prior. The kit came with everything you need to perform the upgrade. I just finished about an hour ago. It took me 2.5 hours. I did not use the new knee bolster though, I just cut the hole in my existing one. Worked out perfect. Everything works as it should, the back lights, the on lights, and each wire has power. real easy install, just take time. I hope this helps.

Its considerably faster if you skip the knee bolster. You have to take the whole radio out pretty much.

Having a wire grommet or wire poking tool thing is a huge help.

Would a paperclip help? Asking for a friend.

If you order the aux switches when building the truck at the dealer, does the factory build it that way,or does the dealer/ hack/ tech install them?

Received a message earlier today that my lead on one of these kits was a bust. Again, nationwide backorder. Called the dealer as recommended a few posts up. There is no new part number. I also provided the parts numbers for all items in the kit is provided by GM Upfitter. Every part number except for 1 is a special order out of 1 of 3 GM warehouses. Since they're special order I don't have much faith in being able to get everything. The one part that wasn't special order happens to be in my dealer's inventory. Don't get too excited. It's bolts that are widely used in GM vehicles, so most dealers should have them.

Just got another call from my dealer parts guy. They found a dealership in the US with kit number 84942073. They reached out to that dealer and that dealer refused to sell the part. Bad news for me may be good news for you if you're in the DFW area. Classic Chevrolet is the dealership with the only available kit in the country for trucks with the black interior and push button start.

In the meantime, I've asked my dealer to get all the parts that come in the kit. He believes there should be no trouble getting them since they show Special Order instead of Backorder. The parts are spread out between 3 GM warehouses: Lansing, MI; Reno, NV; and Los Angeles, CA. He was even willing to beat the online prices from GM Parts Online and GM Parts Direct when you factor in the added cost of shipping from those online stores. I'm looking at about $260 + tax.

My local dealer quoted me over $240, it was only $137 on gmpartsdirect.com (Which is a SC dealership) I got it delivered to my door in less than a week from them.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
