Truck owners are notorious for finding clever ways to upgrade their rigs with parts from other vehicles. If a part bolts up, looks better, and doesn't break the bank, the community will find it. Right now, a remarkably simple interior upgrade is driving Silverado and Sierra owners crazy across Facebook groups and forums, and it comes straight out of the C8 Corvette.

Owners of 2019-2026 Chevrolet Silverado and 2019-2022 GMC Sierra trucks have discovered that the premium, metallic push-to-start button from the new Corvette is a direct, plug-and-play fit for their dashboards. It requires no programming, takes about three minutes to install, and costs under $43.

GM Part Number: 85007203

 

While some owners recommend using a plastic non-marring trim tool to gently pry the old button out from the front of the dash, the community has found an even safer, tool-free method to pop it out from behind:

  1. (Optional but recommended) Disconnect your truck's battery to avoid accidentally starting the truck or throwing a random code during the swap.
  2. Reach your hand up under the dashboard, directly behind where the start button sits.
  3. Locate the back of the button housing, squeeze the two retention tabs on the sides of the button, and push outward. The button will pop right out the front of the dash.
  4. Slide the red locking pin UP on the wiring connector to release it, then pull the connector out of the old button.
  5. Plug the wiring harness into your new Corvette button and lock the red pin.
  6. Push the new button firmly back into the dash from the front until it clicks securely into place.

You may need to clarify your article on this. You stated that these won't fit a Sierra because the start button is squarish in shape. Are you referring to the Sierra Denali (I think the AT4 as well) dash because my 24 Sierra SLT looks just like the picture of the button above. I'm guessing that is a Silverado in that pic. The following is from your article. 

 

It DOES NOT fit: The refreshed 2022.5 through 2026 GMC Sierra. GM updated the Sierra’s interior with a distinct, larger, square-shaped push-to-start button that is completely different from the Silverado and Corvette design.

Not sure what you are talking about but my 26 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT looks just like that one and others on FB are swapping them as well.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      I wonder as well, why they would send me a text message with links to these suggested procedures totalling over $10,000 without even the slightest hint of how they arrived at these being necessary.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      https://precisionlubrication.com/articles/oil-filter-efficiency/     For them it is a problem of $$$$ and compliance. To cover both they have to lie from the heart.    Government wants low waste oil numbers so the bar needs to be very low on contamination to met that requirement.  Consumer wants cheap maintenance (perceived cost). Again requiring a low bar.  OEM wants high margins at a cost effective warranty rate and lots of repeat customers. More low bar.  Filter manufacture wants the same thing the OEM wants. See the pattern?   Consumers are fickle and also want perfection requiring a HIGH bar. Inconsistent with all of the above. Consumers can be, when the put their minds to it, inquisitive, love winning arguments which requires some useful information to be available to support them. And this is where it gets sticky and the lies begin.    Information needs a solid well grounded point of reference if we are to compare in a useful way. There is a standard for this.  ISO 4548-12. This standard sets the particle size at a specific Beta ratio and darn few are faithful to its intent.    If they don't state the test method they change the particle size or the Beta ratio to hit a perceived favorable standard. They obscure the information in a way as to prevent direct comparisons leaving the consumer with one method. UOA's with an ISO 4406 test result. Pricey and not allot of labs willing to do the work. Lobby work happens everywhere, not just at the seat of government.

      IF,IF,IF. If they cared about quality instead of profit and this applies to any company, what a concept.

      2001 GMC Sierra - Banging feeling in steering wheel

      By Christopher Miller · Posted

      Good Morning Gents..hope everyone is enjoying a beautiful saturday morning. I have a 2001 GMC Sierra that I bought used in 2018. I am the 2nd owner and its a beautiful truck. Ive put about 60,000 miles on it and recently the front end has felt funny. Kind of loose when hitting bumps adn sometimes I actually feel a "bang" in the steering wheel. I took it to a local guy who said that everything was tight and he tightened the steering box. It didnt feel much better, so I had him replace the front shocks, which had noto been done since I bought it. It had the check enging light on so I took it into a local garage to fix that and check out the suspension. Everything is original and the rubber bushings that I can see look bad. They said everything was tight and there wasnt any play in the front end. Im concerned about the banging feeling in the wheel. Ive been driving this truck for 8 years, so I know how it usually feels and this is something new. Its a second vehicle, so I dont drive it all the time, but Im trying to use it more often. I live out in the country and some of the  roads are kind of rough and I alive on gravel roads. Anyone deal with anything like this before?

      Yes of course. There’s no experience in the Trump organization in hiring contractors. it’s not like they’re experienced in that field.😆
