Normal? No.

 

Cheap? Yes.

 

My 06 crew cab has lighted rear power window switches.

 

 

Imagine the money GM must have saved by eliminating two lighted switches in every truck. And some dork who put in this suggestion received a nice fat $ 25k bonus check. :thumbs:

 

What's next? Unpainted black grained plastic fenders and bed sides just like Honda uses on a basic Honda Element ?

Sort of like the older style Avalanche with the plastic trim?? ;)

That was just outside cladding on the Avalanche. Later on they had a "cladding delete" option which made those trukcs look better IMHO. Honda Element base uses actual unpainted plastic fenders and quarter panels.

I have an 08 Crew Cab and the rear switches light up on it. You may have a problem.

 

I just checked mine and mine lights up too.

 

On another note do either of you have the Homelink also ? If so I am looking for a VIN number so I can order a new overhead for mine to add the Homelink, thanks in advance.

 

GMPartsDirect won't sell me the part until I give them the VIN of a truck with the part already installed.

Homelink:

Would that be due to the fact that the truck requires it from the factory due to a computer / build issue?

It is it possible that it uses a built in antena and the wire is not run on a truck without the option?

That would be my guess as to why they will not sell the part? Most parts places do not give a damn about those issues they just throw the part on the counter (so to speak) and ask for payment, so maybe they are trying to be customer friendly so that you do not get a part that you can not use on your truck.

 

Me I just have the door opener on my visor far easier than trying to program that thing IMO.

Um my rear switches light up..

Hmm, I double checked mine last night and the rear window switches are not lit. Maybe it depends on trim level or maybe they changed it mid year or something???? Mine is a '08 Sierra SLE1

Homelink-- they sell it aftermarket but it's expensive or get an eBay or junkyard visor for any car and install it in your truck either in the visor or headliner it requires cutting but for under $50 you'll have homelink I got some links at home on people who have done it I'll post them when I get home

I ordered a pair of the 22895545 switches, which is the current part number for the lighted switches. I will install them tomorrow, and see if they light up like the front switches.

      What a wonderful result! Great story telling to. You are quite multifaceted sir.  I'd keep it. Four is my limit too and yet we have five as well. One assigned the 'salt car' to do all those tasks you hate to ask of your 'Save for Good" crowd. 😉    Don't forget the antifreeze.    The Iron 4.3 is a favorite of mine.

      Ancillary parts to the lower intake and connections went together without issue.   There was a brief pause when I leak-tested the fuel lines and injection system. Fuel was spraying all over. Lovely. O-rings weren't sealing the fuel lines to the spider, and inbound line was leaking at schrader valve, leaks at both flange nuts. It's moments like those when you just want to set fire to the whole shop, and be done with it. I was mostly enjoying the project up until that point, and was tracking to an agenda of having a running Blazer and a cold beverage in hand by dinnertime.    I found some larger Viton o-rings for my spider and some grease to get them to seat. One leak solved. Swapped fuel line Schrader core for old core. Still leaked. Swapped entire valve for old valve. Leak solved. Nudged the flange nuts a little tighter on the connections. Another leak solved. I could cycle the key / prime the pump and the intake was staying dry.    Reassembled the upper intake, with 10,000 vacuum lines, and filled the cooling system with water* (this is temporary, I'm not done with the cooling system yet).   Showtime!!   Cranked it over and smoke billowed, it was running rough. CEL illuminated and began flashing. P0300 and I somehow tripped a code for the TPS sensor, voltage low.    There's nothing as unrewarding as a vehicle that won't run (and produces the same code/problem) after hours of research and work.   Clearly I was in over my head. Was the timing off, did I stab the distributor incorrectly? Is the new distributor bad? With my limited OBD 1.5 data stream I really don't have a lot of parameters to see. The engine was pulling mad timing again (flooding?).   Think, Atlas, think.   1-6-5-4-3-2. One, six, five.....four, three, ....two. Wait a second. That makes no sense. 1 is the forward cylinder on the driver's side, so 2 should be the forward cylinder on the passenger side, not 6.    I can't believe it, but I'm looking right at it. Swapped 2 and 6 on the distributor and turned the key over, and...   It fired, coughed and stumbled, smoked, and then settled into a smooth idle. The scanner showed no codes, no lights on the dash, and the throttle was nice and responsive to gentle revs while it warmed up.   It's working!!! IT'S WORKING!!!   I paused for a late dinner, no cold beverage yet. I was determined to do my shakedown run. Did a basic safety and fluids check one more time and then went out and put almost 70 miles on it last night. She's a runner, runs good.   Came home and did a post-trip, post-mortem. The underside is dry *except* for where the last owner RTV'd the snow out of the intersection of the timing cover and oil pan. He said he had replaced the timing cover seal, but, my dude had clearly done it incorrectly and then tried to hold back fate with black RTV. Never works.   Yesterday morning I replaced the broken driver's door mirror. As much as I hate cheap Chinese parts, thank goodness for cheap Chinese parts. I think an entire new power mirror assembly cost me like $30, and it works perfectly. Replacement tail lights (faded, and one was busted) ran me about $12/side. I have a door pin kit ready to go in because the driver's door sags just a little and I want to fix that because there's nothing sadder than a saggy door.   I don't know what's next for this rig. Half of me wants to take some nice photos (there's a park nearby with a HUGE American Flag that always seems to be catching wind) and throw it up on CL/Marketplace for a couple grand and see if it flies. The other half of me... I've got a sweet running S10 Blazer that's been keeping my mind off of whatever I'm going through right now, and it's bringing some joy, and is cheaper than therapy. Maybe I'll keep it around for a little while. However, this is my 5th vehicle, just for me. 4 is really my limit, but they are not junk, so need very little attention. I don't know...there's a point where it's just too much and I don't see owning this truck long term. But I solved its major problem, got it running, so I'm going to stick a feather in my cap for now.   Sometimes we just need to get our hands dirty and fix something in the physical world to gain some satisfaction.
