Here you go:     I didn't check the whole frame, is it just this one square member? 2 outlets total? I need to make some for the round ones also.

It's been a lot of fun designing and using the 3D Printer for projects on my truck. If any of you are interested in some of my other adventures I also enjoy producing videos of the projects on my DIY/

Anyone have any sellers that will ship to Canada? The eBay link list will not?

Can anyone post the measurements for the square hole? I’d do it myself but still waiting for my new Sierra to arrive at the dealership.

Has anyone tried the Raptor/F150 frame plugs yet? They look like they may fit... For $12 I think I will give them a shot since I haven’t seen a better solution yet. Here is a link to eBay... Let me know what y’all think?

Please let us know what you think. I'm interested in doing this.

No, it won't. I ordered a 4" and 3" square tube plug and neither fit. It's not actually square, it's rectangle shaped. I got an ebay message from the company I bought the round and small rectangular plugs from asking if I could provide measurements of the larger rectangle plug and they would attempt to make the part. I had measured it prior to them messaging me, but now I have to re-measure and provide them pictures.

Did anyone figure out where to get these plugs from? If so could you post a link or info here?

Interesting...first thing I thought when seeing this post is aren't those frame passages not water tight? don't they have drain holes and other holes in them where plastic wire harness anchors are attached? if so water will find a way inside there even if plugged, and if plugged it will be extremely slow to evaporate and likely cause more corrosion...

but those who have used these in the past, that's not the case? it does actually resist corrosion?

I would think plugs for any of the frame holes would be fairly easy to design and 3D print...

I don't know where you live, but in snow country big gaping holes along the wheels pack full of snow and salt and dirt which lead to rust. It's not about making it water tight, that's honestly not possible with the frame at all. The idea is to keep as much crud out of there as possible so it doesn't rust from the inside out. I really want one for the huge rectangular hole because that thing is full of crap because of it being at the leading edge of the rear wheel so lots of crap gets thrown in that direction off the top of the tires.

good to know. I'm going to look into this. I plan to have this truck for a long time.

 

I live in snow country, but around these parts most people run winter tires (or at least it seems) and the local gov is less salt happy. they treat the interstates and any dangerous areas like where there's a steep down hill right up to a stoplight/stop sign, but otherwise they don't pour salt on every inch constantly in the winter time. its actually really nice. neighborhood roads stay snow/ice covered for weeks after a big snow. they'll plow the bulk away and the rest just stays there. yet for some reason people buy cars/tires suited for our climate and no one has much trouble getting around even with much less rust-causing salt. pretty amazing if you ask me. not to say we're salt free, care must always be taken. but I've lived in areas where they salt the crap out of every road even when the weatherman predicts snow. crazy.

      The Peckish Synapse

      There's some truth to the above, but also, she's selling fullsize trucks and bread/butter CUV's like hotcakes, meanwhile, extracting GM's pickups from the deep discounting sales game.   GM's stock has held its own during her tenure, and the more recent buybacks are delivering cash back to investors and signal confidence in their direction forward. Even with the EV losses.   GM is an example of a modern publicly traded company. The #1 goal of any publicly traded company is to deliver the most value possible to shareholders. Despite being a car company, building the best car isn't GM's path to delivering maximum shareholder value.   McDonalds doesn't make the best burger, or the best coffee.   I've mentioned in another thread, I really don't / won't ever understand Cadillac or Buick in a modern context. Both brands are completely dead to me. I'll cede that the Escalade is a nice SUV, but the brand and nameplate mean nothing to me, and GM will never persuade me to pay north of $170k for a gussied-up Tahoe or Burb. Other people don't mind doing that and that's their purview.   The C8 shares absolutely nothing in common with any other current Chevrolet or Corvette on the market. Since its introduction 8 years ago, it's developed quite the following. It did what other Corvettes couldn't do: reduce the average age of its buyer. GM has something there, and I see them investing in the car. They'd better not mess that up.   We've successfully derailed Grumpy's thread again, but I think this one is meant to be more of a random thought thread so a little wandering is probably OK.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      Sliding doors ftw   Also, Sienna ftw as well.  The in-laws got a 2024-2025 recently when their 2019 sienna was totaled due to a deer back in June.  They've been getting 38-40mpg on the 65mph highway they live on.

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      Forgot to mention that this started after changing the oil I use mobile 1 full syn with mobile one filter but I did add pro lube additive and was the first time doing so and is making me wonder just can't see why that would matter

      07 yukon xl 6.2 stalls at hot idle and wont restart

      By xdieselmechanic · Posted

      I apologize for long post put going to try to explain everything. Parts replaced so far: Cam sensor Crank sensor Cam phaser valve Cam phaser solenoid Fuel pump Maf 1 injector Pcm Pdm   So about 2 weeks ago coming off the highway my 2007 yukon xl with the 6.2 stalled and would restart. Had unit towed back to house and I messed around with relays and unit started. Drove it the next day and same thing. Had it towed again. Scanned unit and had code p0300 with misfire data showing mainly cylinder 7 but I know that won't cause a no start. Measure fuel pressure and found only 42 psi replaced pump to have unit stall again and not restart. This time I stayed on back roads and just waited for it to restart about 30 to 60 min. During this time I found I have no injector pulse but have good power at injectors. Started unplugging 1 injector at a time and found when unplugging cylinder 7 pulse came back so i changed injecto and same issue. Turns out unit just happen to ready to start at that time. Scanned into unit and found no reason for the pcm to take away injector pulse so I replaced the pcm and same issue. I figured timing sesnor controlled the injector pulse so I replaced both sensors and while I had the water pump of i replaced the vvt components while i was in there. Read multiple people have luck chaging the maf for this issue so I changed it. Unit still stalls to this day and loses injector pulse on the ground side when it does. Have noticed watching the live data the pcm is request injectors to fire via injector pwm value. I have redone the ground wires at the left bottom of the block knowing this was the ground location for the pcm but still no luck. I am a mechanic by trade but this is having me pull my hair out. If anyone has something to have me check I will gladly im not much of a parts thrower but im about to load the cannon

      auto mechanical driver's door unlock without pressing button? [2026 Silv. 1500 WT 4WD RC SB 2.7L]

      By newdude · Posted

      Actually.  Wait.   I just re-read your original post.  Are you talking from INSIDE the truck you have to hit unlock?  Or from the key fob?  I had assumed from the key fob.   IF you are talking the inside unlock button, I assume you are shifting to park and its not unlocking the doors?  If so, that is changed via the settings page in the radio.  Go to SETTINGS, then VEHICLE and then it should be under LOCKS or DOOR LOCKS or something like that.
