Extendable Visors

Anyone know of any of the NBS 07+ trucks that come with extendable visors? Mine doesn't have them and I am wondering if any of the better trim models or maybe the Tahoe or something has them that would fit.

 

One of those things you don't even look for in a vehicle but miss it when you realise it doesn't have them. My last few trucks have had them and I love them to be able to extend them back all the way on the side to block the sun.

 

Any ideas?

 

I'm fixing to order a new inside rear mirror so if I can find a part number or a place to start looking for a part number would be great.

 

Edit - color wouldn't matter either - any color would do.

Mine extend on my truck,I have an "LT2" trim level.

The whole visor itself extends (I.E. Theres not a separate extension piece)

Cool thanks, my dealer isn't all that helpful when ordering parts. Mainly because he has one guy who is the person who orders stuff, works on stuff and cleans the floors. So if I can find one on the lot (out of 10 trucks) that has them maybe he can order a replacement from that VIN or something.

I just reread that. Yeah mine slides on that rod to the back. I thought maybe some models had the ones that pulled out with the extra small visor behind it so you could let down both.

 

Thanks tho.

Yea, Nathan. My 02 Tahoe hat that visor where the extra piece slides out. This 05 Silverado does not...just one of those things you miss going into a different vehicle. :thumbs:

Yeah....I miss the second small visor too. If your on a straigh road it doesn't matter but on a curvy windey road and the sun is just right I can wear my arm out moving that thing around lol.

 

In a few months won't notice it when the sun angle changes.

Weird, I have a 05 z-71 and it has the extra piece that slides out. A volkswagon I rode in had a little small one that would slide out behind the rearview mirror, nice touch.

My S-10 had the best. It had a big visor with a full length deal that slid out of it. Then behind that one was a small one. That way you could put the one to the side and flip the small one down and have it covered when the sun got in the corner.

 

Also the extendable part was notched so you could flip driver/passanger down and pull those out and they would match up behind the rear view mirror to totally block out the top 5" of the window.

Wow, I almost skipped reading this thread becasue I didn't think it would be interesting. I never knew my truck's visor extended on the rod. I was driving one day and was wishing it had that extendable piece and was a bit disappointed it wasn't there. If I had only known, I could have just pulled the whole dang thing back. :thumbs:

 

Thanks! Now I love my truck even more.... :chevy:

      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...

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By glenn27 · Posted

      // Thank you, also for your  response. More information is always good. This 2013 GMC is most likely my 'forever truck"-I'm 77 and retired...and truck only has 42K on it-very clean-so I try to keep it that way.  Tks again for your  response- glenn

      Alternate wiring for Kicker sub with Bose system. (DO THIS)

      By smooth68 · Posted

      I started my install this weekend. Everything was pretty straight forward but I ran into one issue with running power through the firewall. The nipple grommet on my High Country already has a small harness running through it - has anyone else ran into this issue? And on the engine bay side, does the wire basically just penetrate the factory wiring boot? I did this on my '22 Trail Boss and it seems much easier but thats been a few years. My other thought would be possibly drilling a new hole adding a rubber grommet just to the lower left of the factory hole. Thoughts?   Has anyone used a T-harness off the Bose amp and obtained power from there? It seems a little odd that such a small amp needs 3 power leads

      By glenn27 · Posted

      ///// Ok--Thanks for that info--I could not find yesterday when I looked for the specs on that NAPA filter what I wanted. Their website is not very user friendly. I buy all teh filters for  our three vehicles once or twice a year. Have always run NAPA Gold on everything I own....I buy it thru my Son's account for his business-which he has a Heavy Equipment repair shop-one reason he uses NAPA so much-they have such a full line of coverage for just about anything/anywhere- He gets s  good discount because of volume bought. Anyway-Thank you -Sir for your response.   glenn
