My Bump Stops.... Fell Off!

Hello,

 

I recently put new BFG's on my truck and I replaced my shot shocks yesterday with some Bilsteins. The truck rides A W E S O M E now!

 

One problem :thumbs: When I was under the truck I noticed one of my bump stops was crooked. So I poked it.... it fell off. I looked at it and the cup was totally rotten... so I pushed on the driver's side... it fell off as well (the rubber bee hive looking bump stop separated from the metal cup). My truck came from up north and other than a little surface rust on the backside of the bumpers, the undercarraige has no rust other than a few surface spots here and there. I looked and searched on GM-partsdirect.com and couldn't find them. An ebay search only came up with these:

I've been to some local yards (not very many around here :nono: ) and these trucks are few and far between!!! Is $35 an OK price for these? I can't see a yard giving me a better price than $25-30?

 

Anyone else have this issue? Discuss :D

I think I only spent about US$40 for some new ones from my local dealer.

Since I couldn't find them on GM parts direct I figured a dealer would be $$$. I'll have to give them a call then.

 

Soooo, your's came apart too? :D

I've learned to always atleast give the dealer a chance. Not always but a few things have been cheaper at the dealer than online.... :thumbs: (example: my fog lights were $99 @ dealer and $120 online. And a dipstick tube for an AMC 360 was $7 @ dealer and $10 online.... tax is usually less than shipping also....)

I called two different dealers. Both had 16.98 each for a price (for the bump stop only, not the bracket too... which I don't need.) I'll probably go there during lunch tomorrow and order them. I don't like driving around without them, but my daily commute doesn't involve bottoming out the truck :thumbs:

SUMMIT RACING sells them in high quality neoprene. I'v replaced many factory ones with better quality aftermarkets and had good success. The stops made by Energy Suspensions work great.

 

AND THEY'RE CHEAP!

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.

      AFM Disabler Question

      Melling I believe is/was the OEM on the lifters who explored this problem some years ago. The white paper they generated on the topic indicated two items of note when I read it. 1.) They only fail on the switch. Prevent the switch, prevent the failure. 2.) The majority fail due to deposits messing up the timing of that switch. Anyway that's what I got from it.    Mine have always been active, 195K+ now, and my oil maintenance is surgically clean.    Of course this assumes good parts. That is no heat treat issue or machining flaws. I get comfortable that these issues are in the rearview mirror by about 30K. IMHO naturally.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, the key seems to be with the half tons that if it has the Z71, then it definitely has the two speed. What got me was that the two speed AND the lower geared towing package option could not be chosen together the last few years unless it was mated up to the 6.2. Want the 3.0 duramax and 3.73 tow gears ... nope, can't get the two speed transfer case ( neighbor son realized that after he had bought his used 3.0 half ton .. where the frick is the low range ? ! ).    I am still unsure which truck series, the half ton or the HD truck that the original poster is referring to for sure other than yes his question is in the HD section of this forum but that doesn't guarantee the question got asked in the right section.
