Dumb question…
1) Do dealers get paid by GM for inspecting the problem?
2) Do dealers get paid a lower hourly rate for warranty repair?
It just seems like if I bring something in under warranty I get the working as designed. No warranty they’ll gladly charge me for new parts, needed or not.
My problem was my seat would get stuck in position 1, my 5’1” wife’s and I’m 6’2”. I could get it to work sometimes by reaching under the seat from behind and wiggling the wires. For me the connections got boogered up from back seat passenger big feet.
Get under it and look at the exhaust near the engine. Follow that down and you’ll see one on each side. Your rig may have been modified and you have 2 exhaust pipes without sensors.
Lots of good advice here. If the metal has deep scratches use any of the methods you’d like but do 2 or 3 light coats to fill in the scratches. You’ll notice it every time you drive it.
And unfortunately it’s a common failure. I believe anything that comes on by itself is going to need programming. On the upside look on YT for ways to get around the dealer.
Same here but on my 23 Sierra. Pushing the button does nothing. The only help from calling OnStar was take it to the dealer. Anyone have success with a reset? If so how was it done? My other gizmos work fine.
I got one off eBay for my 07 and it works great. If you move the wires under the seat does it act right?
You might also check the wires under the driver sill and the bottom of the B pillar for good connections.
Lots of guys have 2 sets. One reason is they don’t want their good wheels to get exposed to the salt. How much snow are we talking about? Here in Virginia a lot of snow is once or twice getting 3 inches so I can’t relate.
Welcome to the forum from Virginia. What you don’t want is springs that come with the Z55 rear auto leveling. They’re too soft. Did you look in the ppv section here? I’m sure some have done what you’ve looking to do.
It’s ok on a vehicle old enough to have accumulated the rust and paint fade in patina. I think it looks silly on any other rig or when they put 7 coats of clear to make it shiny. I’ve never seen shiny rust. Hopefully the one you saw was a wrap that can be removed.
Welcome to the forum from Virginia. Lots of guys here with lowered rigs. It’s hard to say what kind of ride you’ll get without knowing how you’re planning to achieve the drop and if you plan to keep the stock suspension features like self leveling or MRC.
It’s really amazing how many parts are either bad out of the box or fail quickly. Good job doing your due diligence. Hopefully Dorman will refund you for the bad ones.
Many places don’t have people that actually know their products well.
When I did this swap I went round and round about getting the strut spring combo since I was doing the work. I ended up getting just struts and borrowing a compressor from Advance.
