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!

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By DustMcGrath · Posted

      First of all sorry, I know there are a ton of transmission temperature threads...   My truck is a 2025 LZ0 High (10l89 10-speed) High Country with NHT max trailering package. The NHT package is supposed to have "enhanced cooling."   Normally the trans temp sits around 200. It seems like with any real stress it quickly jumps into the 220s (for example climbing a grade unloaded at lower speeds). I haven't towed much with this truck, but I'm concerned if it gets this hot unloaded.    I've tried a few different things to keep the temps down (tow/haul mode, sport mode, low range when that makes sense) and nothing seems to affect it.    I'm curious if others are the same behavior or if anyone has found techniques to keep the temps down. It seems like it just can't handle reduced airflow at lower speeds, even with relatively light loading.    Thanks!

      I'm at 105,000 miles on my baby Duramax. No issues yet. I hit 31 mpg's traveling through hilly terrain to a project in Colorado. I will buy another 3.0. I'm not concerned.

      Which 2027 engine will you choose?

      By cautious optimist · Posted

      I'm glad you have 14,000 trouble free miles. Frankly though, that's a really low bar. A bare minimum of 80,000 trouble free miles as the norm (rare exceptions always exist) across the whole model year should be a starting point. Good maintenance habits should push these past the 100,000 mile mark with only the most minor of issues. Let's hope GM truly leveled up the quality game with these new engines and exploding engines under 50,000 miles are gone.

      This is exactly the reason our EV has consumed so much of my driving. I don't want to fire up a cold diesel or gas engine just to drive 2 miles up to the store. It's arguably terrible for an engine. If I'm not driving at least 10 miles and don't need to do truck things, the truck stays parked.   Enter the EV. It's immediately heating or cooling the cabin as needed (heat pump). An engine doesn't need to warm up or be driven gently. I can tear off in it with ZERO guilt. Move the car 1/4 mile from store to store and not think "gee, I'm short-cycling a lukewarm engine".   It doesn't idle in a drive-through. Doesn't idle at stop lights. (OK, neither would the diesel, if I let stop-start have its way, but I don't).   Even moving it out of the garage to wash it... HA! It doesn't need to be started just to move 40 feet. I have cars that I will actually put in neutral and push (no start) in/out of the garage or shop if they absolutely HAVE to be moved. My nice Camaros.
