Changing out door handles


Recommended Posts

Posted

Has anybody switched out their door handles with the passive lock button,easy to do like the 14-18 model were?Looking to switch my red hot ones to chrome if I can find part numbers for them.

There's been a thread on this and a member tried to swap them and couldn't get them to work.  Best bet and easiest is to get the chrome covers that apply by 3M tape. Can probably find them on Amazon too.

I'm looking for a full set of Summit White door handle covers. My LTZ has chrome handles and I want to swap them out. Any ideas, or even part numbers?

Dealership painted and swapped handles for me before I took possession. It’s doable. Gm accessory has the chrome handles available

We'll see how it goes,found a guy with a full set of chrome take offs for $100.That beats the dealer price easy,I'll find out if it's similar to the 14-18 models and plug and play.

I've seen the schematics - can't remember where though. It is just as easy. Only difference is a plug that disconnects. Otherwise the swap out process is the same.

Some may not like the look.Switch was pretty easy,hardest part was figuring out how the plug came apart.Take the door panel off(5 screws on the front,4 on the back,one behind the handle,two behind the armrest,one or two at the bottom) and carefully pop the clips off,peel back the water shield, the connector has a small red L shaped slide first and then a built in spreader that you depress and you pop it apart.Door handles remove easier than the 14-18 ones,no fishing line required to reinstall,they just push back in,and tighten the #25 Torx bolt.

    • Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver. 
    • Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....  
    • 4 low is really nice on steep boat ramps. 
    • Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.  
    • Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
