Anyone know the part number for these plugs?  There are 2 in each front door, side by side, on the latch end of the door (about the size of a dime).  

 

Thanks,

Richard

If it's what I'm thinking it is, it's a "Door Shell Plug"

Scroll down and look at the "fits these vehicles" list as it don't show anything close to a 2006  model year. Probably best to call a dealer with the VIN# and they can look the part number up for you. You can see if you can find them at a U Pull It auto parts / recycling yard. Those are generally the cheapest places to start if you have a yard near you. 

 

Ultimately the dealer should be able to verify what part number you'd need for sure as you don't want to not to be able to either return or get full credit for a wrong part ordered.

Thanks. I bought some for a 2005 1500HD I had a few years ago but can't find any emails or remember where I bought them. I'll put a mic on them and find something that'll fit. Not doing a 100 point restoration, just capping the holes.

I did a quick search for 2006 Silverado and this was one of the results that got returned and there were others below as well. You can measure the hole opening and see if this or any of the others may fit?

If you are fixing up the truck, I would suggest making a list and hitting up a junkyard for odd bits like that.  They'll be as good as and way cheaper than new...

Probably won't. It's really clean and complete. Doesn't need much. I love junkyard diving though! I keep a running list in my phone of things I want/need on my next trip.

It says "This part also fits...", so according to GM, it will fit older models, along with newer

But, I'm with the "check U pull it" crowd...probably get them for a handful of change, if they aren't rotted out.  I noticed the other day that the plugs in the door of our 05 Tahoe are falling into the door shell (looks like the outer rim is deteriorated enough that it doesn't hold anymore).  You can probably find a generic plug to fit the holes at the local auto parts store

Strange...I entered the year (2006), Chevrolet Silverado and that's what pulled up in the search
It was strange seeing that as it only showed 2016-2019 model year vehicles so I went back in and saw that above the price & part listing on the page you linked it also has clickable wording that says "see if it fits your vehicle" so I selected 2006 Chevy Silverado with a 5.3 Gas and standard package and got a return showing it fits.

I will say that those are some spendy plugs for plastic but that's anything GM / Chevy anymore. BAd part is like with AC Delco Parts I can get the same ones the dealer will install and pay less than what they'd charge me / us online or at dealership.

Our local parts house which regionally in 3-4 states they have 49 stores and warehousing. They actually have to have minimum quantities on hand at most times to be able to supply the dealerships as the dealerships get their parts such as those locally from them. They're a OE level supplier which from the way it sounded they have to meet a certain criteria to be able to supply the dealerships.

Back in the early 80's you could get a brand new pickup practically with all options around $10-$11k and now putting a crankshaft in a 06 GMC with the Diesel cost Appx $16k as my neighbor had it done after the crank broke due to bad porosity.

He'd bought it a few years old used but still drives it for his business doing underground storm sewer installation. They use their pickups for plowing snow in the winter when construction is slow.

Yeah, online sites seem to be trimming back on parts diagrams for older vehicles, either not having diagrams for various sections of the vehicle, or not including part information because the part is obsolete and no longer available new from gm.   It would certainly be useful for tracking down parts to be able to at least get the part number for various bits, even if GM doesn't sell it anymore...

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

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

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
