I’ve searched Google for an hour or so and here unsuccessfully other than people painting theirs.. Black 2015 Silverado 1500 double cab trying to swap black window sill trim to chrome but all I can find is a chrome cover or non oem parts. Any gm parts numbers for front and back windows so I can swap all this over?

Go to your dealer. Those factory parts new are around 2-300 bucks if I remember correctly.

I have a 2017 Silverado WT.  You can order the chrome piece that goes on the window trim.  I ordered the 4 chrome trim pieces and installed them a couple years ago.  I also installed chrome covers over the door handles and chrome caps on the mirrors.  None of them have come off, even when I've taken my Silverado through a car wash.  I believe the brand that I purchased was Sizver.

how do you replace the trim? i see theres a torx screw that might hold it on...

Waffle34 - you don't replace the trim.  The chrome pieces attach to the existing trim using 3M tape.

@superdave160, you are correct.
Here is a source for the trim (one of many, I'm sure):

Factory chrome window trim is metal, not a decal and it is fastened by clips and a torx. Op what part of the country are you in? I have a set of oem chrome window trim pieces that I’d trade for an oem black set.

I’m in Northwest Indiana and would be interested in a swap if we could make it work.

The aftermarket trim is also metal.

These are the numbers I received when I placed an order for the old # trim pieces for the dbl cab.

Part number 22798969 is replaced by part number 84025009.

Part number 22798970 is replaced by part number 84025010.

Part number 22894310 is replaced by part number 23227178

Part number 22894311 is replaced by part number 23227179.

Thanks, I do have a crew cab so I'll have to see if I can't find the part#'s for the back.

 

Usually gm parts are fairly easy to navigate but the part numbers for the window trim is confusing. I can find what I think is right, but I may end up having to go into the dealer.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      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?

      By No F-bdy Bs · Posted

      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.

      Yes.  The 2.7 Turbomax has Active Fuel Management.  It is NOT the same as the V8s.  Totally different system.     Here is an article from GM when the 2.7 came out explaining the cylinder deactivation and the valve lift system.  Starts at the section called "SCS Valvetrain":   New Turbocharged 2.7L 4-Cylinder Engine Powers Full-Size Trucks – TechLink         This is an internet myth going around.  It was alleged that some 5.3s had this mystical 8th digit of the VIN as an "E" which somehow meant it had a new one year only 5.3 that didn't have DFM.  The writer of said article and the person that made the claim conveniently can't count because they posted the VIN.  The 8th digit was a "D" which meant its still the 5.3 with DFM.  The 9th digit of the VIN was an "E" and the 9th digit isn't the engine code.  At all.
