yes, the smooth handles are plastic as well.  You can install the passive handles sure; you just won't have the functionality of the button for the passive system.

Can you send me the part numbers you used to order the handles? Having trouble finding the keyhole part. I have the handles as 13526759, and the solid thumbs as 84496193. Can you break down what you paid. I have a local body shop quote me $250.

I was able to order a set of smooth black handles and have local body shop paint for me.  I've sanded textured black parts in the past and painted; just don't have the time these days.  Parts and painted cost me $400 total.

 

I had a post over in the 2500 threads, Denny you may have actually commented on there now that I think about it haha.

Disregard part of my last message,  it looks like we spoke and you threw away the box that had part number for keyhole. Question though,  does the 13526759 handle come with the thumb part?

Thanks

I'm assuming he meant 2014-2019 limited.

Maybe,  the ones I bought the ebay had listed 2015-2020. I emailed and he assured me me that they would fit. Of course they didn't, and he is dumbfounded.

Not sure, but you can see in the pictures I posted the difference.  The black is off my Custom.

sorry for the delayed response, been traveling.  Yes, that part # had the keyhole and handle both in the box.  My painter charged me $400 for everything.  I was able to go through him to order the handles to get his body shop discount.  The handles were around $100 or so I believe, then the rest were his cost to paint.  Sorry, not much help.

 

On a side note, thank you for being the guy to take the risk and order the color matched handles that you did to try out.  It sucks that they didn't work out, but you were able to share that info and now everyone else on here can use that.  I know that doesn't help you recoup your money or your time, but it's a big help to the forum!

I went to the local dealer and they wanted $338 for the set, called the dealer and spoke to the salesman to see if he could get me dealer cost on handles. He quoted me $388, I said you are crazy and your company is screwing you over if that is your cost.

 

Bought some the other day off one of the many gm websites that sale parts. Hard part was finding the keyhole part number, plus the website says it doesn't fit on a Custom. My guess is because it only comes with the cheap black textured where as the different models have different options. Paid $177 for handles,  Thumb part was a separate part number, body shop around the corner is charging $250 to paint. Total is more than I wanted to pay, but hate the textured black. Funny thing is you can buy a complete set of the old style for 40-50 dollars all day long.

 

They are suppose to arrive Friday, hopefully right parts this time. If it works ill start a new thread with the part numbers etc... I've asked several on this gm forum and no responses other than you. Appreciate your help, us southern Indiana boys have to stick together:)

I'm glad you got it worked out.  Sorry I couldn't be more  help on the keyhole part.  I forgot to mention that my painter has an LTZ, so he used his vin # when he was looking up parts for me to match what would fit.  Maybe in a few years there will be cheaper color matched handles out there for our body style, but I didn't want to wait that long.  I'll stay tuned for the complete installed pics on your truck!

      first oil change - 2026 2500HD gas

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Typically its said and I agree so far that the engine oil drain plug oring is not required to be changed out unless you see some damage happening to the oring as apparently the oring lasts well. The dealer I have been getting a few parts from never even stocked the oring but instead stocked the whole drain plug that comes with a new oring which for the dealer is easier because they just throw in a new drain plug if there was any question about damage on it as well and charge the customer accordingly but again only if it is needed.    Also a hint about the drain plug oring to help it last vs a risk of causing damage to it, after its been removed and wiped off or washed off ( that is a whole other topic about some solvents damaging orings because some solvent types do ) to make sure to relube the oring with a bit of new oil so that it won't "grip" on the sealing surface of the pan and needlessly stress out the oring. Its no different than putting some oil on the sealing ring of the engine oil filter. So I just grabbed a new drain plug to have on hand although more recently bought just the oring as well but as its special it costs half the price of the drain plug ... !   Since you mentioned the hate to be empty handed theme, I am not sure what you have in the way of filter removal tools as I like using the exact sized for the filter steel 1" wide band with side to side swivel handle filter removal tool, and it can be used to snug up the filter without risk of damaging a filter as well ( its probably a lisle brand I have ). The drain plug hex size is 15mm and I always like using a 6 point socket if I have a choice and with this truck I've been using just a 3/8 ratchet that has a fairly long handle. Do you have a funnel that will work to pour oil in as that is definitely the short coming bastard part about the design with that fill port on the valve cover on such an angle that no normal funnel will even work. There are adapters and things on the market that will set into or screw into that fill port, I didn't want to deal with US shipping as that is all I was seeing at the time so caved and bought a Lisle brand multi vehicle fit adapter funnel kit and it really works well but there are much less expensive adapters out there that work in conjunction with an off the shelf funnel that would do the job also. Now that I have it, I like how it works and works so slick with the shape of the Amsoil 1 quart containers I have now switched over to. Whatever you do, have a funnel system of some sort as you will be swearing if you dropped the oil and then realize you have nothing to properly pour new oil in without spilling it all over the engine !.     Other comments, quite a bit of oil flows out down the filter when its cracked loose due to the housing above the filter so let it dribble down the filter until it slacks off flow and then remove the filter to create less possible mess. It seems these engines can sit for quite a while and drip and if you have time let it sit there and drip out of the engine as much as it wants. Also a good time to grease the 9 zerks on the front end, that's my typical practice anyway to grease the suspension and steering each time I change the oil. And remember to reset the oil change minder ( not something I am used to doing with older vehicles and equipment ).

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      I really did not measure what came out. I carefully followed directions to check level after i did the spill and fill and filter change. I used 10 quarts. 9 was not quite enough. My trans temp was about 175 when I checked it. Truck sitting in my driveway very close to level where I always check oil pretty much every time for consistency. My driveway is just ever so slightly downhill to run water to the street.

      Sounds like maybe it's announcing Navigation turns or Alerts (it mutes the music) ? When it mutes again, turn up the volume quickly and see if maybe the navigation volume is really low?
