So, new owner of a Silverado crew cab with standard bed and the “new for Chevy” Multiflex tailgate. Wanted to get a cap for it but ARE is telling my dealer that the beds are different between GMC and Chevy. I can understand the diffference between the regular bed and the Carbon-Pro bed on GMC but not sure what differences there are in the regular beds. ARE does offer the cap I want in the GMC standard bed/Multi-Pro gate combo.

 

Does anyone have information on the bed differences or info I can provide to ARE via my dealer to convince them that the GMC and Chevy beds are the same?

The top shape of the bed rails and the taper at the back are different between them.

 

Second this.

I realize this is an older post but would you know if there is a difference between the 2 trucks on the 2024 models? I have been led to believe there was a change in 2022.

Thanks Dan

 

I went to the GM dealership and looked a both boxes. I saw that the taper of the box above the taillight is still different between the 2024 GMC and the 2024 Chev.

They are different. The Chevy is more round, and the GMC has a more squared end by the upper sides near the tailgate. I did in fact fit a Chevy one on mine and it wasn’t horrible. I just used a small file to remove a very, very small bit of fiberglass.. but I purchased it on a very good deal and I was not aware of the differences at the time.  I don’t have any pictures of the back right now, but attached is just the general one. LeerXL100. The revamp is only interior in front end… the rear is still the same.

      Of course refrain from political debate but I myself have very dismal hope for what is all going on up here every where we turn so I nodded my head when I saw this joke.

      While waiting for parts I have been working on installing the AC compressor, new accumulator, and orifice tube. Also changed out the high side ball valve (original). The orifice tube that was in there wasn't too bad. Slightly dirty, a little bit of junk, but not blocked. Glad I changed it out.   The accumulator, which should have been a 5 minute job, may have just burned $50. Put some PAG in it, wrote the date and mileage on the side, fresh o-rings and gooey'd up the threads and rings with Nylog. Got everything connected and snugged and was going to vacuum down the system, and....   My manifold gauge won't fit on the port. It's not an R12 service port. It LOOKS like an R134 service port but the diameter is a hair too large. There's a sticker on the accumulator that says it's designed to be used with R12 and R134a systems only. So it's not R1234yf. Even if I reduced the diameter slightly with a file, the shoulder on the port is too large so the quick-connect valve won't lock on. I'm stumped. It's going back, and 50/50 on if they'll give me a refund.   Also, I did a fuel pressure test.... Key on, the gauge spikes to about 60psi and quickly bleeds off, like 2psi per second. The fuel isn't going into the plenum, no smell, starts fine, so I'm guessing there's a bad check valve in the pump and the fuel is just draining back into the tank. oh, hell. But, it shouldn't be a problem, pump primes just fine and the truck starts right up. It just means I can't really ever use fuel pressure to verify a leak at the injector or intake.

      SERCICE ESC message?

      Got this yesterday out of nowhere. Truck is a 25',6.6 gasser with 8k miles.  Only semi anomaly is that the truck had been sitting, uncranked for 6 days. Elec Stability Control showed immediately upon cranking, not while driving. No drivability issues, just the message. Battery didn't seem to be weak when cranking over.  I drove it, killed it, let it sit a few hrs with no avail.  Truck is 100% stock. No damage.

      This can be done.  It is not cheap and requires an instrument cluster swap with custom programming, new steering wheel with the controls on it, and a special jumper harness.   The cluster upgrade - 12.3” Digital Cluster Upgrade – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The wheel upgrade - Steering Wheel Upgrade Kit – 2022.5–2026 Silverado / Sierra (T1 Refresh Pickup) - WAMS   The column harness upgrade - 2019 - 2026 Silverado / Sierra: Steering Wheel LIN Bus Harness - Harness Dr. - DIY Done Right     The problem with doing all of this?  You pretty much can't have any programming done to your truck that involves the cluster ever again.  The dealer won't be able to program the cluster as GM's system will only pull data for the cluster the truck came with.  So it would be advised also to turn off over the air updates.   TLDR;  Should have bought an LT double cab?  You'd have a power seat, the wheel controls, the cluster, all things that you've been seeking in your various posts so far about your new WT regular cab.
