hi,

 

i just took the rear seat out of '05 silverado 2500hd extended cab (so my dog has some extra room to jump around in the back :rant:.

 

but...

 

i now have the rear sound proofing material and studs sticking out, which the wife doesn't like.

 

does anyone know of a kit that i can buy that will snap in over the rear section, cover the floor studs, and preferably provide some limted storage?

 

thanks in advance

DRICK..........Go to a dealer and check out a new crew cab.

The back of the rear seat folds down in those and i THINK

there is a finish panel on the back of the cab wall.............

 

I don't see why you couldn't order one and install it on your

ex-cab.............................geo

I did the same thing in my 03 2500HD. My dog likes it!

 

I went to autozone and bought some grey interior carpet, cut it to fit the back wall and used spray 3M adhesive to glue it in place. That was over 2 yrs ago and it's still just fine.

 

For the floor I used a piece of 5/8 plywood cut to fit flat on top of the center floor hump. You can use the floor studs to keep the board from shifting by drilling holes in the board and let the studs go through the board, easy to mark, just lay the board in where you want it and give it a few light blows with a hammer to mark the underside to know where to drill your holes. To support the ends by the doors a couple of small blocks of 4x4 wood posts. Push your front seats all the back before you measure the length. All of the wood was then covered in the same grey interior carpet with the spray adhesive.

 

If I had it to do over I would have bought a better grade of carpet because it came out great. The floor is showing a little wear from the dog and cargo as the autozone carpet is cheap..

i talked to chevy today, they said that the crew cab molding is entirely different than the ext cab and that it won't work.

 

thanks for the suggestion though

i talked to chevy today, and they suggested a local auto trim store that they use. i called the guy, and this is basically what they are going to do, but with nice carpet like you said. i'm going to see how much they want before i jerry rig it any more

D.................Don't believe the parts guys !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Go and eyeball the back wall of a crew yourself. I bet

the plastic cover on the wall is 2 pieces top and bottom.

 

GM only likes to make 1 part for ALL their vehicles.

 

Been meaning to stop at the local Chevy dealer and check

out a new 07 'Ho ! So I gotta eyeball a crew for myself

because you have got me curious !.................geo

      I like the idea.  I would pick diesel if I had a choice. I need pictures though.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By newdude · Posted

      I've installed cheap eBay new aftermarket digitizers before.  They work.  Did a bunch of Cadillac CUE (aka Cadillac's MyLink) for someone years ago.  They all worked fine after the repair.    That number 22740886, that is a component part # for GM.  You can use it to search, but its not something that's obtainable at the dealer level.     So pretty much any of these will work - 2015 Colorado Digitizer for sale | eBay

      Exhaust heat while towing!

      By fondupot · Posted

      You can install tailpipes that direct the exhaust sideways vs the OEM one that goes straight back. There are several on the market, do you own research. HOWEVER, you need to make sure the Venturi vents are still intact, otherwise it will throw a engine code. There is a sensor somewhere that detects back pressure on the exhaust. And if it doesn't collect the correct metrics, it will throw the truck into limp mode.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      "Teardown" is complete. Head surfaces are clean and ready, new intake is prepped and ready. Coolant drained and water pump is removed, radiator is removed, new hoses and pump are ready.   The replacement intake is also from a '95 (with I think 260k, the odometer said). Noticeably less pitting where it covers the rear coolant passages. I'm not sure if that's a tribute to more frequent use, more frequent coolant changes/upkeep, or if the intake was machined at some point. But it appears I found a good one.   My coolant hoses were original, and the lower hose still retained the factory spring inside. It's not really rusty, but it's got deposits all over it. Unsure if I should re-install it (will thoroughly clean it first). Someone said hose technology has gotten better since 1995 (has it?) and I don't need the spring. I think modern EPDM is what made those hoses last from 1995-2026, so it's a question of how much suction can the water pump really pull, and will it collapse the hose without a spring?   I'm stopped and waiting for parts, however.   When I first brought the truck home, the fan was intermittently hitting the radiator shroud. I could see someone had monkeyed with the shroud (put a bunch of cardboard as a spacer between the upper/lower shroud halves. Someone said the motor mounts have likely failed and the engine has sagged. I wasn't sure I believed that. The engine is really solid in its mounts: To remove the old intake I *just* nearly permanently welded to the heads with freshly cured RTV and gasket snot two weeks ago, I literally had to use the arms on my lift and a chain with a bolt attached to the intake to pull it loose. It almost picked the front of the truck off the ground before ....scuuuuuuuuuuup.... I could actually hear the gaskets tearing and it broke loose and the whole truck settled back down. Motor barely moved.   SO, those parts I'm waiting on... The lower radiator mounts/bushings had completely failed. The radiator needs to be insulated from the rad support, and the bushings help the rad stand at the correct height. The plastic "baffle" was also destroyed at some point. Someone had attached the shroud to it incorrectly, overlapping a joint that should have been underlapped, creating another suspect issue potentially causing things to hit the fan. Broken tabs, side is busted off, and it's perma-formed/bent where it was jimmied incorrectly.   The baffle? Unobtainum. Long since discontinued from GM, of course. Aftermarket/capa/chinese? Also unobtanium. In GM's infinite wisdom, it appears there are at least two different variations whether the Blazer is 2 or 4 door, and I can't yet tell if they shared the same part with the S-pickups. Plan B, if I can't find a viable used one, will be to create a bracket to re-assemble the critical joint I need to seal a gap with the shroud. But that will bug me, it won't be...perfect.   The water pump bolts appear to have been installed with...plumber's putty. I guess, sure, if it works...? I've found a few "backyard fixes" like that. Someone's been here before....   If I can't find someone to jam bamboo under my fingernails to fill my free time this week I think I'll install the driver's power window motor and replace the rear door speaker that's inop. I've got a genuine GM "9.5" ohm working replacement. Why GM used a non-standard resistance....nevermind. Of course they did, you can get more sound from a cheap factory amp that way.   And the saga goes on...
