Well, according to my dealer - “sometimes the parts get shipped separately”, but at least he is now onboard that they are not going to be painting the stock black ones.  Phew.

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.

Use painters tape to mask off any areas that you don't want to come into contact with wax.  It only takes a few moments and it will make the job easier in the long run.

Looks great!  Did they let you keep the stock ones?

I didn't get to keep my stock ones. They told me the price I paid ($660) was for the upgraded color matched ones and included them getting the black ones back.

You should get to keep the stock black arch moldings. I know I found the Summit White online for $500 (+/-) with free freight from several GM dealers.

when a vehicle is ordered with dealer installed options, those parts are shipped from a company that services the gm dealers in the area. once vehicle is labeled as shipped ,those parts for that vehicle are then shipped from the warehouse to the destination dealer for that dealer to install. sometimes the vehicle does get there before the parts but most of the time the dealer sits on them vehicle arrives. as far as the old parts coming off if the customer wants them they can have them as dealer is not charged or paying for them in any way. most of the time customer doesn't want anything to do with them and I don't want parts in mislabeled boxes that I didn't buy from gm in my inventory.

as far as color matching and coming from the supplier already painted, any good bodyshop should be able to paint them and make sure paint doesn't come off unless something hard hits molding.

I haven’t been able to find them (in stock) anywhere in summit white.  Just canceled my third order.  They assured me they had them in stock, so I placed the order.  Get an email 2 days later saying they are back ordered.  The person tells me that email was automated that verified stock, it obviously wasn’t.

I removed and prepped my 06' flares on my own and had a body shop spray them.  It was years ago, but seemed like I removed the mold release with Comet and Mineral Spirits. I know I wet sanded them with fine grit paper until they were smooth but had a minor profile for the paint to adhere.  The guy at the body shop gave me exact instructions.  He sprayed them for $150 including material.  Not sure if I have the ambition now days but $660 seems steep!

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      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.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.
