noticed factory has come to their senses and started installing a sliding backglass on the 2005 as an option.

 

 

 

Yes. I ordered that for my 05 and then got a cap with a sliding window. Works great, except that it is taking a while for me to look through three windows in the back as compared to one on the Suburban.

I have had several trucks with the sliding back window. If I opened the window all the dirt from the bed would blow in. My last 3 trucks including this one don't have the option which I am glad. But it should be offered as an option as I can see there are people who use it, such as with a cap or just to have a place to throw there beer cans(just kidding)

Wish my 04 had a slider, I can never seem to get the beer cans to land in the bed when I toss them out the side window....lol....just kidding too, but I really would like a factory sliding window

Ford F150's have a power rear slider. Hit the button, toss the can - bingo! Add a big black dog and a level - you're a contractor!

According to my dealer they stop putting them in because they couldn't get them to stop leaking. I guess they finally fixed that issue... I had one on my S10 and I miss it on the 2500HD now.

Had a slider on my reg cab ford and really used it aloot, but now that I've got s CC 2500HD I opted not to get it since I won't have a cap on it and you can't get the defrost option on the slider.

 

If the slide came with the defroster, it would be in my truck.

 

I locked myself out of my truck once and the only way I was able to break in was thru the slider.

I have the defroster too but I would gladly trade that for the slider. I can't say that I have ever used the defroster for the window but I do use it on the mirrors.

I believe on my 05 extra cab that the rear window defroster and the mirror defrosters work together. I am still reading the book and playing with the switches.

I live at 7,200 ft, high in the rockies and the rear window will frost overnight, I need the defroster on that window more than I need the slider. If I lived in a warmer climate, I would definitley have the slider instead.

Has anyone noticed a kit that coverts the solid rear glass to retractable like on the new Tundras? I remeber a coversion kit was avaliable in the eighties for the then new GM trucks. I would like that.

Yeah, my parents old early 80's Suburban (before they were cool) had the power window in the back, that was cool! :seeya:

 

I would need defrost on the a rear slider, it's a lifesaver! And I miss not having a slider, had one on the 94 reg cab, but I don't think I could make it work with the crew cab.

I miss the sliders too....I had on on my 87 and 95 pickups and they were nice in the summer..AS LONG AS THE BED WAS CLEAN...My 02 and 04 don't have it and I have never used the defrost in either vehicle. My next truck will have one and it will also have a tonno or roll-up cover as well.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Wiring Help, Please

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
