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.

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
