I have a 2008 Sierra, and wanted to ask you all that also have similiar trucks: are you able to tap the passenger window button (on the driver side armrest) and the window will automatically open all the way, like the driver side window? No problems with the driver side one, but my 2005 Sierra also opened the passenger window the same way, but this truck does not. So I am asking you before I call the dealership and scehdule a fix.

 

Thanks.

Does it say auto on the passenger button?

 

Neither the driver side or passenger side have AUTO printed on the buttons.

This is an from the 2008 Silverado Owner's Manual:

 

 

gmLogoFlat.gif Service Information

2008 Chevrolet Silverado - 2WD | Chevrolet Silverado Owner Manual | Document ID: 1823936 Power Windows Caution: Leaving children in a vehicle with the keys is dangerous for many reasons, children or others could be badly injured or even killed. They could operate the power windows or other controls or even make the vehicle move. The windows will function and they could be seriously injured or killed if caught in the path of a closing window. Do not leave keys in a vehicle with children.

 

When there are children in the rear seat use the window lockout button to prevent unintentional operation of the windows.

If your vehicle has power windows, the controls are located on each of the side doors in the front and rear for crew cab and extended cab models.

 

The driver's door has a switch for the passenger's and rear windows as well. Your power windows will work when the ignition has been turned to ACCESSORY or RUN or when Retained Accessory Power (RAP) is active. See Retained Accessory Power (RAP) .

 

Press the switch down to lower the window, and pull up the front of the switch to raise the window.

 

Express Down Windows

Vehicles with the express down feature allow the driver and front passenger windows to be lowered without holding the switch. Press down fully on the window switch, then release, to activate the express down mode. The express down mode can be canceled at any time by pulling up on the switch. To open the window partway, press the switch to the first depression position, until the window is at the desired position.

 

Window Lockout

(Window Lockout): If your crew cab or extended cab vehicle has power windows, the driver's door power window switch has a lockout feature. The lockout switch is located in front of the window switches. This feature prevents the rear windows from operating, except from the driver's position. Press the switch to engage or disengage the lockout feature. An indicator light on the switch will come on when the lockout feature is engaged, and will go off when disengaged.

I do not know if that is Crew Cab specific or if it is available with the extended cabs as well (or the regular cabs for that matter)

My controls are identical to the drawing that you showed, and reading the para (b), it states that both passenger and driver window should go down automatically (Express Mode). This is the reason I am asking the question and see if it is just my truck, or others as well. The rear windows roll down manually, and can be locked out.

 

Thanks.

I have to double check mine when I get home,but I'm almost positive that my passenger side DOES have the express down feature.

Keep in mind though that mines an '07 and they could've changed it for '08.

I'll have to try out some trucks here on the lot when I get a minute.

Yep,I just double checked mine now that I'm home,It has auto-down on both sides,and no matter what switch I use,driver or passenger,its auto-down either way.

 

On a side note,I checked our parts truck which is an '07 regular-cab 2500HD,and it does NOT have the auto-down feature on the passenger side.

 

Again these are both '07 trucks,They must have changed it for '08.

My 07 cc SLE1 passenger side does not have auto down feature either. I would like to add it though.

 

MS3DALE - Is this feature in the switch? Can I change my switch out for one that has the auto down for the pass. side?

My 08 LT1 Xtra Cab 1500 Silverado does not have the auto down on the pass side. Only the drivers side. I would be interested if we can find a way to make it work as well.

      No 12v outlets in 2026 gmc Sierra

      By PhilB · Posted

      It is possible to add your own 12v outlet to your truck.  Check out this video:   I verified via GM Upfitters that pin 31 is the same on the 1500 trucks.  The wire is GM part number 84779405.   You can get the GM 12v outlet from Amazon  https://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Accessory-Receptacle-25774623-13549530/dp/B0F1H9YRGF EWAY 12 Volt Power Adapter for GM   https://www.amazon.com/EWAY-Chevrolet-Silverado-Cigarette-Ignition/dp/B0915RRW6Q/ref=sr_1_1?   I just haven't figured out a good place to put the 12v outlet in my truck.   Some people are getting USB-C to 12V adapters  https://www.amazon.com/WYMECT-Cigarette-Lighter-Socket-Adapter/dp/B0F87WNQKB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa? Not sure if they provide the correct amperage that a device like a tire inflator would need.

      Thanks; I looked there a few minutes, and I think I can find something. I really never looked there, as I thought it was stuff like PTO/aftermarket bodies/accessories like snow plows.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By newdude · Posted

      This is a 1/2 ton thing ONLY.  All HDs 2020-2026 have the two speed transfer case, with Autotrac as an option.     1/2 tons 2019-2026, regular 4x4s come with a single speed case (no 4LO!), and trucks with Z71 ordered, or all Trail Boss trucks come with the 2 speed case.  2 speed case is also an option on WT, and is also standard on High Country.

      Different requirements for oil filters?

      By newdude · Posted

      2013 5.3 still to this day calls for the PF48 filter.  Which as a 15psi bypass pressure.     There is a TSB, 17-NA-157 that talks about the PF-63 and PF-64 filters which have a higher bypass rating of 22psi.    TSB HERE - temp.xml   "Beginning in 2012, the oil pumps began to regulate main gallery feedback instead of pump out pressure. This means that the oil pump now does not begin to regulate until pressure is built up to the main gallery. This change reduces the amount of time it takes to provide oil to the engine bearing and lifters during extreme cold start conditions.  Main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are present on the following engine families which use Spin-on oil filters: Small Gas Engine (SGE), Large Gas Engine (LGE), High Feature (HFV6) Gen2 and Small Block Gen5 gasoline engines. These engines with the main gallery feedback oil pump control systems are factory built with an ACDelco® oil filters"   It also calls out what engines use those filters.  The gen 4 small blocks were not on that list (LMG, LC9, L9H, L92, L94, L20, L96).  Gen 5 small blocks use the higher pressure filter.          That all said...   Your 7045 Napa filter is the PF63 equivalent, with 22psi bypass.  You are already using the higher bypass pressure filter.  You CAN keep using it, you don't technically have to use it though.

      Do you know WHY the filter relief setting was increased to 22 psig?    When the new system goes into the second stage the pump volume ramps up considerably. It was found that the 15 psi filter bypass setting put the filter in bypass on a warm engine when the second stage was activated. Raising the filter bypass setting forced the filter to do what it designed to do. Filter. Preventing debris from circulating during high load, high rpm operation.    So next question is how did GM find this out? VLOM/lifter failures and a deep dive by Melling Corp.    Last question. Is it required? Look at it like this; a motor may be equipped with a rev limiter. But it only works if the set point in reached. That 22 psig setting only matters if the pressure differential across the filter media exceeds 15 psig during normal warm operation. Second stage kicks in around 3000-3500 rpm.    I can't answer your question because I don't know you and how you use the truck. But I think there is enough information here to let you decide for yourself. 😉
