GeorgeB’s 2013 Suburban LTZ “Fin”

[George B]

That fitment list shows it fits LT, LTZ and WT. Also shows it fits the Silverados and Sierras, which I thought never got the dash speaker.

My truck isn’t in the fitment list either. LOL!

@iamdub what is the number molded into the plastic on the left side of yours?
Both mine had the same number but I assume thats a fitment number or mold number.

On another note:
Since the factory filler panel only had the one busted tab and I had nothing to lose so I drilled a clearance hole for a long tree retainer and installed it again. The retainer fits nicely in the slot for the clip and it looks ok. At least $70.00 ok so I am sending the Dorman one back for a refund.

So the tab on the underside that holds that metal clip on is broke?

Mine's in the loft in my shop, still in the shipping box just as I picked it up from the dealer. Gimme a few mins...

Yes, it broke and I removed it a while ago. I had tossed it out and drilled a hole for a zip tie to secure it to the dash which was also broken. When I decided to go forward with replacing the dash I decided to just replace the filler panel too but I found a way to make it work with the little tree retainer. And save $70.00

Numbers as requested-

Disregard the steps in the lighting, it's from my LED worklight:




Facing center stack from LH side. I've never seen the underside of my original dash, but I believe this grid pattern is part of the updated design:

@iamdub
Your part is 23224747 but mine is 23224742 so we don’t have the same part.

I may be worrying needlessly but, other than the part number difference the new and old dashes from my truck seem identical in every way.

Oh well; it’s installed now…
