Okay I know this is my first post, but not my first post on off road or tech forums. But anyone every installed these on a 2022 Chevy 2500hd? I previously emailed them just to confirm they would fit and they said they "should". They seem to have a good rep so I went with them. Well the lower bolt on for the lower mount and hinge I could not fit my hand into to get access to. I asked my to try and see if she could do it and she could not either. 

So needless to say I'm in a back and forth email discussion with them because they don't want to talk on the phone. They haven't been helpful and I'm probably going to end them back. 

Anyone else have some thing similar? I'm trying to stay low enough to be able to still into parking garages when we go on vacation. 

Or I just might say screw it and put a headache rack in the back to mount lights. Don't want to but it seems like its looking that way. Don't want to take off the chrome bumper or put a push bar on it because I'm ocdish and it blocks the Chevrolet grill letters 

Thanks,

Dave

I have no idea what your running into, trying to get a bolt to start with this project.

 

I know in my wrench turning days, I would have to use swivel sockets with extensions and magnets stuck in the socket (think of those thin rubbery refrigerator magnets), grease or black tape to hold a bolt/nut from what poeple call gravity.

Would removing the inner wheelwell help? They are real easy to drop. Not like old school steel wheelwells.

I have them on my '21, it wasn't the easiest install. If I remember right, I had a socket on the bolt and moved the whole mount in place. 

 

If I did it again, I would drop the fender liner and go up. Everything should be right there.

I recently put the SDHQ piller light brackets on my 2022 Silverado 2500.  You need 3 skinny arms and have to lay across the engine to get the angle.  Everything had to be done basically blind and by feel.  Was pretty hard using standard tools.  After dropping nuts, wrench, and bolts that had to be fished out from behind the mud flap, I finally ended up suspending the parts in position with string and duct tape so I could then manipulate them with one hand.  They look great.  Certainly not as easy of a job as on my 2012 1500.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."
