Anyone have a part number for the strut that holds up the rear storage bin’s lid, which is also the cargo area floor?

No, don’t need that. Online GM parts websites don’t show it. Some sites show the storage accessory as a whole, but doesn’t list the strut as a separate purchase item/part number.

Awesome; thanks!

 

Part comes back as a "hinge-load."  Maybe not the right part?  Where did you find that part number?  "Hinge" may not be right.  "Load" well, yes it supports a load, so maybe its right?  No accompanying photos across any websites I've checked, so not sure if I'll take a chance on it just yet.

There isn't a part number (or any number) on the back side?

Brand appears to be AVM.  APY22145 is listed on the left and 1024 on the right.  Couldn't find any info on those numbers, or AVM, online. 

 

I'm thinking maybe the previous owner replaced the OEM strut with this one, and it's not correct.  It doesn't "appear" to be worn out, but definitely won't hold up the lid.  So maybe the weight is wrong.

 

I measured the strut from ball to ball at 12.8"  Closest I could find online was 12.5" with a 24 lbs force.  Installed it, and also does not support the weight of the lid.

 

I couldn't find a 12.5" with a heavier force. 

 

Next length up is 13" but is also 24 lbs.  Moving the lid, appears 13" would fit.  But if it too is 24 lbs, not sure the extra 0.2" will make any difference.

 

I see some longer lengths that have a force of 70 lbs, but think that's way too much.  At 24 lbs, it seems like I'd need maybe another 10 or 20 lbs to make it work.

That part number appears to work!

 

Found another site which shows "gasoline strut" in the description.  Awesome, I'll get it on order.

Tried to order that part from GMPartsGiant but found out it’s discontinued and no longer available. 

I believe the failed one in my truck is an aftermarket one, so taking measurements on it isn’t reliable. If anyone has the storage box and has time to measure, would you please let me know the length of the OEM strut both fully open and fully compressed? I wish there was some way of telling how many pounds the OEM one is... 

 

Thanks!

I'm running into the same issue on my 2018 Suburban.

 

I pulled the unit (APY22145) and since it's the same P/N as CS15DAH had, I think that is an OEM part.  Overall the length between pivots is 12.6" and the closed length is 8.8".  This means the stroke is 3.8".  Based on my measurements, the actual stroke needed to close is around 3", so there's some flexibility.  It uses a 10mm ball mount, which seems very common.  I have a quick drawing below.

 

I found a couple of options on Amazon.

 

The first is by BOXI and have almost identical dimensions.  Lifting force is 36#, which is about 12# more than the ones CS15DAH found in the post above, which is the lower-end of what they thought was needed.  They come as a 2-pack for about $20.

(https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HLYT2J2/)

 

The second is by Pamagoo.  They are about 1/2" shorter (12.2"), have a longer stroke (4.7") for the 35# version.  They're available in 35#, 40#, 50# and 65# versions.  Some have slightly different lengths, but all have at least 3.5" of stroke.  They come in 2-packs and range from $18.50 to $22.

https://www.amazon.com/PAMAGOO-C16-25563-C1625563-Replacement-Toolbox/dp/B0B256B75L/?th=1

 

I think the 50# and 65# versions are probably overkill, and might not let the cover stay down.  My truck came with a WeatherTech cargo mat, so it'll have a little more weight.  I'm going to order a pack of the BOXI struts and see how it fares with and without the mat.

I received the 36# strut today and put it in.  It holds it up.....barely.  As in "only when it's all the way up, and without the cargo liner."  If I nudge it, the whole thing drops.

 

So, I reckon the 40# strut isn't going to cut it.  I'll be ordering a couple of the 50# units to see how they fare.

OE number is 84589073.  Its not discontinued or on backorder, any GM dealer can order it or you can get it right from GM's parts website now.  GM Genuine Parts Load Floor Compartment Cover Hinge | Product Search Results (gmparts.com)

This helped me so much… I bought the wrong size initially on Amazon and then did more research and found this thread… the #50 works perfect to hold up the door and extra rubber mat as you described. Thanks again for doing the homework for me!!!

      Thanks!  I figured as such; GM and other manufacturers have used standard parts and harnesses across trim levels and such for decades.  I pulled the blank accessory cover off of my commuter van (a 2016 or so Chevy 15-passenger) years ago and found the plug for a USB outlet.  It wasn't connected to anything, though (I tried swapping in an outlet from another van).  I was a GM Tech years ago (late-90s) and was pretty familiar with my 2006.  I might be wrong, but I view newer vehicles (pretty much anything made in the past 20 years) as being a lot more plug and play.  Meaning, more unused wires and plugs unless you have the Mack Daddy of vehicles.

      not all plugs will be used.  gm uses more generic harnesses that support most/all options, and if your truck doesn't have a specfiic option, the plug won't be used (commonly will have a dummy insert in the plug , or it'll be taped up, but some may just be left as is).  But it's sldo possible some p.o. has installed the wrong/cheaper parts that aren't correct for your vehicle...

      First off, I'm not trying to just get easy advice/fixes for the issues I've noticed so far.  I'll be combing through the site via searches and such, and if past experiences are any indication, should find what I need.  For the sake of conversation, though, I figured I'd post the handful of things I've noticed in the 12 hours since buying my 2010 SLE CCSB.     Indicator lights: Airbag and TPMS.  The tire pressures aren't reading for any of the wheels, so I'm pretty certain the sensors were either removed, are damaged, or are otherwise inoperable.  I used to mount and balance tires 25 years ago but am pretty much ignorant when it comes to TPMS.  My 2006 didn't have the sensors and this might be the fourth vehicle I've owned that does.     Radio: Rear speakers aren't working.  I removed the driver's side rear door panel and checked the speaker and wiring.  I also removed the sill and b-pillar covers to check the wiring.  A few minutes of Google Fu showed that this is potentially a head unit issue.    Switches: Power mirrors don't turn left/right.  I ordered replacement driver's door switches that should arrive tomorrow.  The windows and locks work but it was only about $20 for all of them.  The driver's side rear window switch lets the window down but won't put it back up.  I think the passenger rear doesn't work at all.  In the coming days/weeks, I'll break out my multimeter to check all of that.   Unknown wiring harness: There's a box attached to the front driver's side of the engine compartment, right where the second battery shelf is located.  There are three plugs, one of which looks like it fits a standard headlight-style bulb (9007 or similar).  It doesn't look like it's plugged into anything.  I'll do some digging and if I don't see anything elsewhere on the site, post some pictures here.   Unknown plugs on brake booster: There are at least two female plugs on the brake booster that aren't being used.  I think it might be a replacement/aftermarket, so maybe those are used for a different application, as there don't seem to be any unplugged harnesses and no indicator lights are on.   Little squeaks when turning: Sounds almost like a bushing around the bed of the truck.  I'll have to pay close attention as I get more familiar with the truck.   Clunk on acceleration: possibly the infamous drivetrain clunk.  My 2006 had it and I'm just not familiar enough with this truck yet to fully grasp what it is.   Anyway, my apologies for the vague and all over the place post.  This truck is new to me, and it's been four years since I drove my 2006.  With 200k miles, I know I'll need to learn this truck quickly to avoid having any major issues, despite being confident it's got much more life to it.  My 2006 had nearly 320k on it when I parked it (nearly 300k of which I put on the truck), and it was still drivable then, though I suspected the head gasket might have blown.  I'd hoped to have that truck back by now, but it's gone forever, as I detailed in my reintroduction thread.

      I always drive in Sport mode. With more driving, I am finding the initial response when accelerating is much quicker now🖕 Lou
