Hello,

 

I ordered the colour matched wheel arch mouldings and confirmed that it was on my order.  The truck came into the dealer with the black mouldings on and they are telling me that the dealer body shop paints these.

 

Is that correct?  If so, aren't they liable to peal and look terrible later on?

What a crock!  If the dealer says they'll paint them, I'd find a different dealer.  They come pre-painted. They are GM part 84237183 (for white).

I am going to talk to him tomorrow.  My understanding is that "LPO" means the parts are sent to the dealer for them to install.  Hopefully he's mistaken.

Oh, no! I’ve seen a few on dealer’s lots. They come paint matched from the factory, and they look awesome on lighter colored trucks.

See how this truck priced and pictured. this is no "dealer body shop paint" option. https://www.gmc.com/view-inventory/sierra-2500hd-denali/details?x-symbolic=vdp&x-carline=sierra&x-modelyear=2020&q-sourcepath=/index/vdc-collections/2020/trucks/sierra-hd/sierra-2500-hd-denali/jcr:content/vdcVehicleInfoBlockConfig/vdcShoppingLinks&x-bodystyle=sierra_2500hd_denali#?radius=100&models=Sierra 2500 HD&years=2020&trims=Denali&customertype=GC&makes=GMC&postalcode=95101&filterconfigkey=ConfigAdmin_19Sierra2500&requestedPostalcode=95101&pagesize=48&sortby=bestMatch:desc,netPrice:desc,distance:asc&scrollposition=175&open-panel=Packages&open-panel=Exterior Options&open-panel=Hours&vin=1GT49REY5LF207897&filtermatched=exactmatch&primarydealerdistance=76.1&bac=118729&pagenumber=1&dealerSearchBy=bac&primarydealerid=118729&primarydealerpostalcode=95340&[email protected]&primarydealername=RON SMITH BUICK GMC&primarydealerphone=2097255050

That's interesting.  I wonder if white is different than Dark Sky Metallic.  Mine clearly shows LPO on the order workbench.

Black, White and Dark Sky Metallic are available through GM accessories.  Do NOT let them paint the ones you have.  MAKE them order the proper ones and let you keep both the blue and the black.  You paid $940 and you can buy them for $766 from GM Canada.    https://www.gmccanada.ca/en/accessoriesimage.thumb.png.38cbc16d7bb488ba08a327fa41498c0b.png

The dealer is right. But they dont paint them. I order mine from the factory with the color matched fender mouldings. The truck showed up with black fenders, but the dealer also received the color matched white fenders which they installed before my purchase.

Might depend on what colour your truck is.  If they sold you colour match for a colour the factory doesn't supply, then they planned on painting them.

Either way, the dealer installs them. 

 

A capable body shop should be able to paint them without peeling if it's not a factory supported colour.

Thanks everyone - I will clarify with the dealer.  I'm assuming they just have not looked inside yet and hopefully they are in the truck.

      seat base height *lowering* (base 40/20/40 seat, 2026 1500 WT std cab)

      By bwiese · Posted

      Folks, Have a great new 2026 WT  (std cab, 2.7/4WD) w/base 40/20/40 mech adj bench "fake buckets"  (with lower and upper center console) heavy vinyl seats.  Overall the seats are very comfortable and the vinyl is heavy and appears less likely to 'split out'. Am very tall (6'5")  + a bad back/osteporosis/former hyperparathyroidism so ease/range of movement is a bit restricted.  The truck rides a bit high and I use a nerf step bar w/my left foot to step in, then I put right foot/leg in, drag my butt in  & get seated.  Worked fine in my 2018 RAM quadCab. But I end up dragging my butt over the left raised sidecushsion area of vinyl seat, and due to texture there's fair amount of traction on slide inward.  (ArmorAll didn't improve.) If the seat were even ~1/2" - 3/4" lower it'd be helpful, but base seats just have the forward/backward underseat bail and the side lever for tilt which really doesn't affect seat height.   I really don't want to 'de-puff' the left side sidecushion forming the  fake 'bucket'. I know one company sells 'seat elevator blocks':  but is there a simple way of lowering the height of the driver seat instead?   Thanks Bill W San Jose

      Travel Trailer 2024 2500 HD 6.6 Gas Engine ?

      By Tyler Gibbs · Posted

      The curb weight on a 1 ton crew cab long bed is around 7k lbs.  Now, I don't know where you went to school but 9k is not more than 2x 7k lbs. More than 2x 7k lbs would be 14k+.   With that said, obviously yes you're going to feel a 9k lb trailer when slowing down.  I already said, when accelerating.  When changing lanes?  No.  But if you look at the context of what was quoted, the original person said, "after a mile or two..." which means that would be after the accelerating portion and you're driving a generally steady pace.  Please do learn to read and comprehend.

      Dave's Auto (custom engine builder) tear down of L8T

      Like I've said before. Di and Carbon buildup is not that big of a concern. Engine had minimal buildup, and that engine was obviously not super well maintained. Do regular oil changes, and you're gtg as long as the rest of the truck lasts. Also, the High Pressure FP that people ****** about, but can't tell you why.  Now, I wish they'd trash the variable oil pump. No real world issues with them, but I'll gladly eat whatever miniscule MPG it's saving me in favor of more oil at all RPMs.    Curious to see his assessment of the 7.3 compared to the 6.6. I expect he'll praise the port inj, but from a structural standpoint, the 6.6 is as robust as any engine out there.    Not to take away from the 7.3. I feel it's equally as good as the 6.6.     As to heat on the rear cyls, I'd have to see numerous examples before I'd say it's an issue. Especially not knowing the history of that engine. For all is known, they could have blown a rad hose, and ran it hot, and the 2 rear cyls may be the first to get hot in a low coolant situation, but not be an issue aside from that.
