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!!!

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.

      cam upgrade in CA

      apparently CA smog is (or at least was)  checking that the vehicle is using the oem and/or a ca smog approved tune, so I expect you'll fail inspection doing it.

      yes, leaking exhaust will mess up o2 sensor readings, which in turn messes up fuel trims.

      286,740 Mile Services   8/6/2026   New AC Compressor. Refrigerant oil and dye, evacuate and charge system.  New exhaust system from cat back.  New Iridium plugs plus replace #3 coil Repair/rewire headlamp wiring (passenger side) and replace all forward bulbs. Polish lenses of both assemblies.  Pull rear rotors, clean and adjust parking assembly. Inspect, clean and grease front calipers. Check pads and shoes.  4 wheel power bleed of brake system. Dot 4 Reset idle speed 50 rpm higher New Serpentine belt.    Will need new pads in the rear in about 5K more miles.    Tax Title and License out the door just short of a grand.    AC clutch had bitten the dust. 1 year warranty on the pick and save replacement. Thing will make a Polar Bear cry Uncle.  He spent quite some time on the wiring. It was in the harness and he does nothing half. I got off cheap. I have considerable more light down the road. Sylvania Silver Star replacements.  Gas seal between the porcelain and shell of plug #3 was blown, cooked the coil. That was the cold miss.  Love the new exhaust. I can sneak into the neighborhood again.  Nice to have a working parking brake again. Belle Tire never got it done. That was disappointing.    This was one of her bigger bills and still way cheaper than a payment even given the oil consumption. This thing cost me under a hundred a month in repairs and normal routine costs. What is my incentive to replace it? 🤔
