2011 Silverado LT 5.3L 136K

Power Locks and Factory remote start.

 

the cable that goes from the interior door handle to the lock broke.  the head broke off at the handle.

i think I may have ordered the right part to replace it.  I didn't realize there were different sized cables for manual locks, power locks, and what does remove start have to do with anything.

 

anyway, this is the cable i bought.  its 25.8" long.  

Amazon.com: Sousery Inside Door Handle Latch Release Cable Compatible with 2007-2014 Chevy Tahoe Sierra Yukon Silverado Escalade,25.8" Door Latch Cable Replace 924-481, 22862028 : Automotive

 

can anyone confirm I got the right one?  I didn't take my old one off yet and I wont until I get the replacement.  and I cannot seem to find any tutorials on how to replace (i only find videos for manual locks)

 

any help would be greatly appreciated.  thanks

See if this video helps.  It says its for '07-13. 

 

 

 

There are also videos on taking the panel off that may help you.  Hope this helps.  It looks like something I would not want to tackle myself.  If you have a body shop man you know they could have that done in 30 mins.

thanks for the videos - I have taken the door panel off many a time.  I had a broken handle last year.  now the cable.  the first video showed will help a lot.  I think I ordered the right part (cable).  

 

my cable comes in Tuesday, so I will report back at that time.

so, the cable worked.  was exact fit.  and thanks to the first video posted by Jworks, it took me 30 minutes.  Power Lock, remote start, everything works and fits well.  the part I listed was $12, the Dorman version (924-481) is $50 - not sure why.  but problem solved.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      I am guessing that engines of that design back then had a better ability to be abused and survive longer than a new design engine with the long timing chain and the overhead cams and phasers etc. But I would never guess that an engine could go that far and not fail spectacularly or at least die a slow death.

      In the 80's 90's I'd run Honda's 7,500 miles between changes using Red Line HP 5W20 and do it for hundreds of thousands of miles with issues. Back in the day it was an SAE 20 with the HTHS of a SAE 30 and SN add load. It was also very polar. Oxidation VOA was over 120. Besides those motors were SPFI and lean burn tech. I could have likely run it longer but never did.    We had a Toyota bought new I ran on Pennzoil's latest and greatest synthetic of the day with "Penthane". A made up word for a very low dose of PAO. Tried 7,500 mile OCI's in that Group III/VI chemistry and the rings tapped out at 90K. Rocker box wasn't as bad as the one Punch put up but it wasn't good either. Also a SPFI motor.    I'm around 3,750 across the board on these GDI monsters and the oil it tapped out by then usually on TBN/TAN crossover and color. Red Line HP Euro.    The AMSOIL SS brochures tell you to follow the OEM values for the service class but that it can be run up to 25K if monitored. I can't imagine what motor could go that distance and not tap out. I've never owned one.    Yes, I know. Lot's of people do. I'm just not going to be one of them.

      I knew a guy in the early 80's that bought a new Monte Carlo and ran it a 100,000 miles without ever changing the filter or the oil. Just kept adding. It looked like that inside.

      My First Project and GMC has me stumped

      By whenindoubtuseahammer · Posted

      Good evening. I was lucky enough to get passed down to me a 2007 GMC LBZ that was my great uncle's. While the underside and rockers are more or less gone I feel like with time I can restore it to working order since it only has 110,000 miles and he put nearly every option he could get without getting the new body style since he did not trust DEF. So far I have done everything I can think of but when I put the key into the ignition nothing happens. I put 2 brand new batteries in it. Cleaned the terminals. Check all the fuses and relays and they all pass with my multimeter. I know I'm missing something that I just cant think of. The only odd thing is the OBD2 port works which makes me think its not the mega fuse. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Looks nice. I still have my 2000, 1500. Bought a 2025, 1500 for retirement. Feels solid. These trucks have a bad rap on the internet. My brother has a `24 1500, 5.3 with 52,000 miles. No problems at all. Mine hasn`t either but mine`s only at 12,700 miles. Have seen some of these things with 100,000 miles with no problems.
