Searched quite a bit but can’t find a definitive answer…

 

Bilstein doesn’t show a 5100 adjustable strut available for the 2023 1500 Crew Cab SLT.  Does anyone know a reason why the ones listed for the 2021 (Part # BIL-24-293297) would not fit at 2023 SLT? I’m not aware of any suspension changes, but the online sellers just say, “It says here that it won’t fit.”

 

Can anyone help?

Does your SLT come with the X31 package (2 inch lift), you may need the Bilstein 6112 series.

Yes, but I thought the X31 was stock height and the AT4 has the 2” lift.  I can’t tell any difference in height on my SLT, but the AT4 is definitely a little taller.

X31 / Z71 is NOT a 2” lift

I appreciate the clarification on the X31.  That helps.  Does anyone know the answer to my original question?  Are there any suspension differences between 2021, 2022, and 2023 that would prevent the same 5100 shock/strut from fitting a 2023?  I contacted Bilstein and can’t get a response.

I don’t believe there are any differences that would prevent them from working.

 

I read that TB/AT4 got new upper control arms on 2023s but that doesn’t affect you.

I used that same part number on my 2023 SLT X31 without any issues. Same as the 19-22's.

Thanks for the response!  Yeah, I bought them and installed them about 3 weeks ago.  Set the front to +1.5” and I still have just enough rake so the back end doesn’t droop when a trailer is connected.  I’ve been really happy with them and the ride is much better as well.

Thanks for the compliment.  It’s the Sterling Metallic they added for the 2023 model year.  Replaced the Quicksilver Metallic from 2022.  Sterling is a little darker than the Quicksilver was.

It’s stock size (275/60r20), but the specs for that tire (Cooper Rugged Trek) actually show almost a half inch bigger diameter (33.5”) than the stock Goodyear Wrangler TrailRunner A/T.

      14-18 Sierra 1500 Heated Steering Wheel Help

      By SwitchBladeSierra · Posted

      Howdy folks,   Recently I pulled a heated steering wheel and clock spring out of a 2015 Sierra All Terrain (part numbers coming soon - will have to disassemble), and just installed it on my 2016 Sierra WT (as base model as it gets).   On install, I noticed that I’m missing the connector often tucked behind the dash for the heating element.     No problem… or so I thought.   I used an “Add-A-Fuse” at my heated steering wheel fuse location, which has voltage, but no wires. I ran it to the positive of the heated steering wheel (Violet/White), and took black to ground.   Hooked up the battery, turned the truck on - no heated steering wheel. No button backlights. Was pleased to see that my cruise control was working though.   Read a post suggesting reversing polarity, so I gave it a shot. Violet and White to ground, Black to power.    Aha! Heat! But I seemingly can’t turn it off AND still no backlights on any of the buttons.    Checked all fuses, everything is still in good order. I’m stumped.   Does anyone have any insight? If so, please share!

      Brake Pad Warning Message

      I'm about 1800 miles into my last oil change, and yesterday a message appeared saying oil life was at 77%. Not sure why it popped up but I think all of these electronics could be susceptible to solar flares or somesuch. I change my oil right at 3K each time, and that was the first time in 10870 miles that message came up. Strange thing is that it showed on the screen at all since I don't drive with that sort of info displayed on the DIC.

      Checked the pads today and there's plenty of meat on them. If the message keeps coming up, I'll just answer YES that the pads were replaced and wait for the squeal.
