OK...I guess I'm still a little confused...why would you need to a place to mount power seat switches on a non-power seat?

Looks like its 88943143 FRAME, Seat Cushion FRAME,DRIVER SEAT CUSHION(POWER). Though a junkyard would prob be faster/cheaper/easier than the dealer. Can I ask why you would need one?

Got one

I watched it like 5 times, and I still cant figure it out. Its like a bad video game, bumps the back of the truck, does a barrel roll, and pops back on its wheels and keeps going.

Holy schnikes, I was expecting someone to back into your bumper or a light sideswipe. Wow.

uppers are all the same. The lowers on an -06 SS would be the same as 4wd, since they both use torsion bars. Regular 2wd are coil spring.

Don't know if you found anything, but all 1500 2wd/4wd spindles are the same 99-06(except 1500HD). Should be able to pick up a set cheap at any salvage yard.

Its the solenoid that goes bad. Its the round thing near #4 in psualumni's picture. It sucks in fine dust, and eventually sticks the solenoid shut, making for the slow gas fill. You can take it off and clean it, or replace it, but that is a short term fix. GM's fix was to replace it, and run the intake up under the hood with a long piece of heater hose. Looks a little hoaky, but it works. You shouldn't need to remove the box or gas tank to do any of it.

99-04 rears will work. Would need to use the SS calipers & rotors(or tahoe/suburban). Being that 4.10 was optional, there not a whole lot easier to find than an SS rear.

As a northerner, yes I would kill to have a truck that clean on the underside. Also, don't feel to bad about no sunroof, the factory ones are pretty cheesy. I have one, I'd rather not have a hole in my roof, but it was what was available. That being said, $21K is $5K over the cleanest of clean retail.

I've had it happen on a couple trucks. I wiggle the wires around until the speaker works and then put a zip tie on it to hold the wires in the working position. Been working that way for a couple years. No idea what causes it, or what the correct fix is though.

Its not super common, but there are a few out there, more so in the 99-02 style. Modern Muscle Salvage in Romeo MI is showing one for $250(an SS one that is) cheapest one in the country.

Just get one out of a regular silverado, there are lots of them around. The only thing that is different are the rotors and calipers, and those can be had off of any tahoe or suburban etc.

there is an 04 GMC VHO coming through the dallas sale next week, and an 04 Chevy VHO coming through the austin sale coming up in the near future. Both bank repo's. I'm guessing they're going to go in the $3K-3500 range. Also to add to my last post, there were 311 GMC VHO's in '04, so 957 total for chevy/gmc.

That truck is long gone, no pics. I did have an '03 escalade that had the PCV hole, but the PCV itself was hollow. It was mostly full of oil sludge, so I replaced it, and the new on was the same way, no spring/valve or what ever is in there, so I got one for an older truck, and it went right in place.

It was off an 99-02 or 03 GM truck.

'04 was texas only, and I'm showing production @646. I think thats for sierra & silverado, but I'm not sure. '05 was available nationwide, I know there were considerable more, but I don't have a VHO VIN to run to see for sure. I've seen a prob a dozen come through the sales in the last few years, almost none had the badges. I don't know if they were never installed, got stolen, or the owner just peeled them off, but I've seen a lot more without than with.

The VHO and the VortecMax kind of get lumped together(since they're essentially the same thing). you could get 2wd or 4wd and extended or crew in '06-'07.

I was selling a set back at the end of may, there was zero interest here and on ebay. Took a pretty good hit just to sell it, it was in three big boxes, and was like $180 to ship(with no bumpers).

Being clean and low miles is more of a price boost, than the VHO package. Low miles is a $1500 boost, the 6.0 is about $1K over a regular silverado. So maybe $9K? An SS has the looks to go with the performance, a VHO looks like every other truck in the parking lot. Being a 13 y.o 2wd probably isn't a big deal in texas, but around here you wouldn't be able to give it away.

The lights are the same as the regular silverado, but they clip to the bumper cover instead of the steel bar. So the bulb socket is fished though the hole in the steel, and its nearly impossible to get from the back. You might be able to get unplugged, but you'd never get it back on. If you do happen to break the clip, you can pop the painted cover off, and swap it for the back off a black textured one.

I had an HD truck with a 6.0 with mystery oil consumption. The oil seemed to form a mist, get sucked up the pcv tube(or whatever its called since there's no pcv valve) it would hit the back of the intake, condense and fill the back of the intake with oil. Once it was full enough, it would run down the back 2 cylinders, and burn(usually on start up). I put a PCV style valve cover off an older LS(99-02?) and that seemed to severely limit how much oil made it to the intake, and the oil consumption went way down.

If you have the defrost on, the ac will cycle on and off to dehumidify the air, regardless of the temperature setting. I put a stretch to fit a/c of an 09 style silverado on mine and eliminated the idler and the squeak.

That sucks...the part number I came up with is: 88967013 for the 9.5", 12479285 for the 8.6". The cheapest I could find a complete axle set up was $650, so hopefully dutchman is cheaper than that. American axle & manufacturing(AAM) made the axles for GM, wonder if they could find/make one?

Be careful...I did a search on on our 2 systems nationwide, and all the trucks that were listed as having a 9.5, and showed the VIN, were inventoried incorrectly. They were all 8.6's. Only 05-07 got the hybrid axles. Run the VIN of the truck they have and make sure it was an SS, V-Max, or had the AXN option.
