Anybody have detailed instructions on how to R & R the door handles and tailgate handle on a 20005 Sierra? I would hazaard to guess you have to remove th einterior door trim panel and also could use instructions on how to do this. I am wanting to replace them with the painted units.

I would guess that the replacement and removal for the panels is pretty similar to mine on my 2001. I have some pics in the pinting section of my webshots gallery. If I remember correctly, there are 2 or 3 nuts that need to be removed. The trickiest one is behind a round rubber "cap" on the edge of the door. Yes, the interior panel needs to be removed, and you will have to pull back the plastic on the interior of the door. I think the nuts are 10mm, but I could be wrong, might want to check a Haynes, Chilton, or Service manual if you have one. The nut behind the rubber cap you will need a socket that is part socket and part universal joint. The tailgate handle is pretty much straight forward, just be careful removing the trim piece around the handle. I snapped off 3 of the 4 snap clips that hold the thing to the tailgate. Good luck, we're all counting on you. PM me if you have any questions.

Did mine two weeks ago easy like Kania said. Pull inner door panel off, pop off black cap in door jam to access side nut. There's two more holding it on the door from the inside. All are 10mm the one nut is up under the window so squeeze your hand up under with a ratchet to get this one off. I have a crew and did all five (rear) in about an hour.

      I can relate. 3 years ago I did that on my Avalanche. I was sore for a week. The only maintenance I do myself now is drop and fill on the transmission on my Honda’s. It’s just too easy. My yard work with my walks in the morning will be enough now I passed 70. The contributing factor is the heat in Texas. You just have to pace yourself.

      Forward collision and lane keep assist still a problem on 2022 refresh?

      I am sorry if this was misleading. That was a document attached to our most recent work order number (Doc# 7105804) that summarized all the current updates. These programs were ‘redone’ in the past but these versions dated 4/1/2016 were the ones that actually made all of the problems disappear. These programs were relayed to the dealer from the technical services group at GM. Here is the exact wording on the last work order:   “Front view camera reprogramming with SPS. A new version of FCM software was released to the service dept. In addition to providing general robustness and stability enhancements, this update includes all enhancements from previous software version releases. SPS camera and calibrate camera. OLH to perform extended camera relearn procedure after camera calibration. Would not take with first GDS learn. Front camera SPS – BDYZ333157450 GDS2 – camera road calibration performed 2810835 Front view camera reprogramming with SPS LT 0.6 OLH – extended camera relearn procedure OLH LT 1.5”   I got the truck back on 4/8 – since that time it has been great no problems whatsoever. The lane keep assist, active cruise control and AEB all work very well around town and at highway speeds up to 80mph. During this time I had been away for a week and purposely let the battery sit without a batter tender. Even with the battery a bit lower there were no problems exhibited. I really think this one has it fixed after dealing with these issues over a couple of years. These new programs and relearn process when completed seem to make all the parts (and newer replacement parts) ‘talk’ to each other without any glitches. Hope this helps

      I turned 72 today. My day began with a trip to the pharmacy to pickup meds for me and the dog and then a stop at my chiropractor before heading home. Once home I started the job of replacing the rear brake pads and one rotor on our 2018 Silverado which will probably end up taking me 3 days to finish, gotta pace myself you know. Sometimes I question myself on why I still do most of my own repairs but if I wasn't then it's more than likely I would be sitting in front of the TV all day. It seems like the list of things I need to do gets longer no matter what I accomplish. I'm not complaining but being retired was so much easier when I was 62.   Peace

      google "bathub failure curve". Basically, any part of the vehicle can fail at any time.  It starts off as being more likely (early failure), then the failure rate goes down (but does not go to zero), then it goes up over time because it wears/ages out.
