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.

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.

      Lower trims ( WT, Custom, Silverado ( aka LT )

      By newdude · Posted

      HD at the moment, are kinda their own deal.  How LTZ sells on those vs on 1500, there is a difference.   They are merging most of the mid trims on 1500.  LT, RST and LTZ are replaced by one trim, Silverado.  LT and RST are a BIG portion of sales.    Bad naming choice aside, the new Silverado trim will offer the spread of options that those three trims offered.  So expect to see things like the tech package for example, and memory seats.  And LT Trail Boss will now just be "Trail Boss" (formerly LT Trail Boss) but will offer content spread like the new Silverado trim will.  The press photos showed the Trail Boss (formerly LT Trail Boss) has access to Super Cruise now, which on the current truck was High Country only.       Here is the Trail Boss interior.  Memory seats and Super Cruise are present.  All things the LT Trail Boss it replaces, and the RST it was based on didn't get on the current gen.  You had to go to LTZ or ZR2 for memory seats, and High Country for Super Cruise.

      2021 vs 2026 handling (1500 X31 Sierra)

      By dennismc · Posted

      I installed a Hellwig rear sway bar on my 21 Sierra SLT, it made a huge difference on how the truck handles, no body roll, the trucks much more planted now. Not sure of the suspension differences between the 21 and 26,  if its body roll your having a sway bar will solve it.

      frustrating P0446 code

      By Old Bay · Posted

      So a follow up and my fix. I found in online searches the live data to look at on a scan tool to verify the fuel tank pressure sensor was working.  It showed an spec number towards the lower end of the rang, but in spec.  Then while it was running opened the gas cap and the pressure should change.  It didn't change even a tiny bit.  The data for the purge valve said it was open...never changed. So then I measured the voltages on the plug for the fuel pressure sensor and they matched what it should be.  So local car quest parts had the sensor in stock...it was a bit of a pain to remove and an even bigger one to get it to actually go back in.  It helped to unbolt the driveshaft and bungie cord away from the gas tank to give a bit more room to work. So fuel tank pressure sensor in I cleared the code, and started it up.  I went to the scan tool's live data and... Eureka! The pressure number was different and fluctuated a bit.  So took it on a short drive and pressure number varied saw the purge valve go from closed to open and back to closed.  Drove it to and from work for roughly a week plugged in the scan tool no codes.  I took it in to get tested and passed.  In my state's infinite wisdom (oops meant greed), since I pushed the test with the maximum extensions I have to take it back in by Feb '27 to 'get it back up to date', then my next test won't be until Feb '29.

      loose lug nuts

      By newdude · Posted

      Any grease on the stud threads of any kind?   Wheel studs should have NOTHING on them for proper torquing and so the nuts don't back off.     Are all of the mating surfaces clean?  So wheel, rotor and hub?     We've had plenty of trucks at work with that wheel, this is a first to me.  Makes me think they've got a lube tech putting anti-seize on all the wheel studs or some kind of grease, and they need to stop doing that.  To have 11 other trucks with the same exact problem.

      2027 Chevrolet Silverado: Official Discussion

      By Flynlow · Posted

      I was a Chevy guy for years, then switched to GMC because I liked the looks better.  I'm actually thinking I like the Chevy looks better than GMC for the first time in a lot of years.   One thing I know for certain, the new GMC dash is hideous!  Chevy wins this one!
