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!

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
