Sierra Denali. I don't know what else it would be. some kind of plastic enclosed something-or-other attached to the back side of the pocket with an electrical connector plugged into it. its on the driver's side at least, didn't check the other side.

Does your truck have cross traffic alert? That's the only thing I can think of it that it could be.


No cross traffic alert and no back up sensors.

I've been doing some digging on black exhaust cutouts in the rear bumper. I ran into a dead end on GMPartsDirect. Turns out GM does make some. I found them on a Midnight Edition Silverado Trail Bos

Sanded with 220 and painted them up. I like the satin black.

I would like to paint my exhaust tips black and have been reading up on this.  At this time I don't really want to get into taking exhaust tips off.  Do you think high temp grill paint or engine paint

There is one tiny screw that’s holds the foot plate on to the step. Once you unscrew that from underneath it will slide out. There are 2 more torq screws underneath it to remove before the entire corner piece will come out. That piece is kind of a pain in the ass to get out as there are like 3 clips that don’t want to come out. I just yanked it out. Did some minor damage to the clips but those clips are pointless. It’s already being held in with 8 screws/bolts. The clips are unnecessary. 

 

So to be clear there should be 9 total screws/bolts to get the entire corner/step out. Don’t yank anything until you have all 9 of them out and the foot plate off.

 

3 T-15 in the top of the foot step,

2 T-15 in the bottom under the step pad, and

1 7 or 8mm holding the step pad from inside the bumper.

 

The other 3 I suspect your pointing out are the 3 10mm bolts holding the exhaust cutouts on. To release the clips I inserted a flathead screwdriver through the bumper from under the truck. There were small slits to fit the screwdriver through. If go under the tab and then push up. I was on the outside of the truck, pulling the top of the step away slightly so I could view what was going on inside the bumper. I started from the tab closest to the middle of the truck. Once it was out I went to the middle tab, then the tab closest to the side of the truck. It really didn't take much to get this done, and I didn't break a single tab. I'm not a mechanic, only a hobbiest. I went into this blind, not having seen a diagram or schematic to point things out to me. I found it very easy to do. Trying to figure things out, the first side took me about 2 hours. That includes thumbing through my tool box several times looking for tricks or special tools I have to somehow make the job easier. The 2nd side took me less than an hour since I already knew how to do it. I only have hand tools, not the electric ratchet that was mentioned earlier.

I have a black 2020 AT4 carbon pro and I'm looking for some chrome exhaust tips as I find there's just too much black on this vehicle.  Anybody with chrome want to trade?

Thinking about replacing the AT4 badges with the chrome ones as well.  

I've got chrome mirror caps, chrome door handles (crew cab set) and chrome recovery hooks also I'm looking to sell if you'd be interested in any of those.

also stock 22" wheels + tires and the stock chrome lug nuts and lock nuts.

I have a set for sale. I just swapped from chrome to black. I am asking $125. That includes shipping cost. They are ready to go now. If you think that's a bit steep, I'll entertain reasonable offers.

I kinda feel that way about my Trail Boss LT with the blackout package. The red tow hooks look odd too. But I am trying to leave this one mostly stock. 40 plus years of modifications on every vehicle i have owned i want to break that bad habit. If i feel the need to modify something i have my Duramax and 2 Corvettes that are already modified. Infact I just ordered a new radio with Android Auto for the Duramax since I like it so much in my new truck. It will be here tomorrow. But I really want to leave this truck alone and just drive it.

I feel very similar. The only changes I'm doing are OE-type changes that my truck didn't have the option for, but wanted. No factory navigation as an option, blackout package only available on black trucks. Power folding tow mirrors not available. There are other things, like memory and cooled seats and that I feel are too expensive and time consuming that I'm not going to bother with.

Have you found power folding tow mirrors that have the lights for side vehicle sensors? You can't even order tow mirrors without giving up half the options i have. I am hoping that the aftermarket will fix that.

I haven't been looking for that type of mirrors. My truck doesn't have blind zone detection because it came with manual folding tow mirrors from the factory.

I don't want to give up the options for tow mirrors. I isn't a good tow rig anyway. I have tried it twice and I think I will just use my old Duramax for that.

      Breaking News!    I'm going to tell you that I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I told  you.  Then I'm going to tell you what I'm about to tell you on the other side of the break.  Then we're going to break. Then I'm not going to tell you what I told you I was going to tell you.  But I'll tell you something else that is Breaking News just coming to the desk that everyone reported on yesterday.  Then I'll tease a human interest telling I'll get to on the other side of a larger break. Then I'll tell you one item in 20 seconds and go back to an even longer break. Longest break of the night.  Then I'll tell you a fluff piece that takes 10 seconds and sign off into a three minute break while you wait for the next 30 minutes of rinse and repeat on the local news.    In al you'll get about 12 minutes of something, 5 minutes of which is worth hearing in a 30 minute show and 18 minutes of advertising at a sound level twice as loud as the news.    Of course you can switch to cable news and hear 12 different people tell the same four stories in much the same format as the Network News for 20 hours of which the majority will be advertising.  And four hours of late night Specials about things you wonder why you stayed up to listen to. Half of which will be repeats.....   OR you can go for a drive

      Audio Dampening and quiet

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      Did you ever figure this out? My 2022 Trail Boss, and now my 2026 LT did this from time to time.  I believe it was more connected to Android Auto and my phone being the cause. Maybe try going for a drive, sans cell phone.... and see if it happens?

      2026 Sierra 1500 Denali - Sound upgrade?

      By Afennell19 · Posted

      I have a 2026 Silverado LT, the non bose as well.  Upgrading the door speakers is pretty straightforward. You could honestly go to walmart, or Auto Zone/ O Reilly and get a set of 6x9s for the front, and 6.5s for the rear. You do also have to get some adapters for each, but they are like $10 a pair on Amazon. Then some plug and play harnesses that are about $10 a pair on Amazon as well.  And I would also suggest a 10 pack of the Amazon Basics sound deadening. Slap that all around the speakers and on the open metal of the inside of the door. And your golden.   I am currently doing this with my Silverado. Although I am having a bit of trouble because I am snooby I guess and bought some Alpine S2 S69c's which are 2 way components and I am having to wire from the door up to the dash....  Having never installed speakers before, its taking me just a bit to get everything correct. But if you dont buy expensive component speakers, and just some $40-$50 door speakers. You will DRASTICALLY improve the sound over these stock paper cone junk speakers. I thought my Silverado had an issue with the radio/ sound for a while.  Come to find out.  The stock speakers are just THAT SH*TTY   I cannot wait to have some decent sound in the truck   What did you end up doing?

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By newdude · Posted

      Its all automatic based on yaw sensor data.  If enough incline is detected, it engages.   My recommendation though would be to disengage it before driving off and not let it auto disengage by touching the gas pedal.  The HD trucks use the same setup as prior years, the drum in hat park brake.  But now with an electric actuator.  If you drive off repeatedly over time, it can torque the park brake shoes and can also prematurely wear them out.           Electric console shift will set the park brake on flat ground too.  Pretty sure they've got it programmed to activate every time.
