Still have it
10 year old post you're replying to

It's discontinued by GM, so unless you find a dealer that hasn't cleared out their old stock, it's aftermarket for you. Or boneyard, if you don't mind used; although you may have to go through multiple trucks before you find one that still has the original parts on it.
I'm pretty sure there's no difference between a regular Silverado bumper and the SS bumper, although the factory SS one may have been a primered part instead of chrome since it has the painted plastic cover on top.
The rear bumper is about the only aftermarket body part I used putting my 2006 back together.
It might bug you knowing there's an aftermarket part under there, but nobody's gonna see it.

Sell just the end piece to the tip?
I guess so? I mean obv that's the part anyone would want, just figured I'd throw the whole catback up for sale in case someone needed it. Only issue of course would be shipping, I'm assuming you're not coming to Houston to pick it up right? LOL

Located in Houston TX. It's sitting in my storage unit, in my way. Great condition, removed from an '06 SS. Someone in the past put a Magnaflow muffler in place of the original, welded in. To remove it I put one clean sawzall cut between the muffler and tailpipe. Could easily be re-installed with that one joint welded up, or do whatever you please with it.
No idea what this is worth. I'll ask $250 and if I'm way off base just make me a reasonable offer. Pick-up only in NW Houston, TX

are these still available in silver? please call me 310-993-9537
That reply is from 2015 so I'm gonna bet no.
I use a laptop PC to browse the forums and it shows me the date of the post really clearly; I know a lot of people use their phones these days (I hate viewing forums that way so I don't do it) - do the phone apps not show the dates? Sure see a lot of people responding to REALLY old posts.

Thought I'd add these brake flex hose part #'s for the drum brake SS trucks (2006/2007 classic, as well as the RWD-optioned 2005's) as I don't see them listed in here, and deciphering all the crap on Rock's website was a bit of a pain. I spent a lot of time staring at the list before I pulled the trigger and was still worried when they showed up if they'd be the correct hoses. Installed them yesterday and fit was perfect.
Front left GM Genuine # 1761908 (19366695) - identical to original hose except the bend where it goes to the caliper looks different, but it fit with no issue.
Front right GM Genuine # 1761909 (19366696) - identical to original hose except the bend where it goes to the caliper looks different, but it fit with no issue.
Rear center GM Genuine # 1761411 (19366712) - identical to original hose including comes complete with the frame bracket. Looks like it's Chinesium though and this one actually came with an ACDelco label on it instead of GM Genuine.

That sucks Hagerty won't cover you. I was going to suggest them as the old man had a really good claims experience with them not long ago.
It may not necessarily be the age of the truck, but the claim rates on them. These trucks get stolen all the time.

As much rain as we get here (it's Houston, so we're either in punishing drought, or freaking monsoons) I don't want to go wider on the tire, especially on my wife's truck. I find the Toyos are a pretty good tire as far as grip for regular driving, and don't wear out quickly. I do the usual rotate from rear to front as the fronts wear out, and the new tires go on the rear, a practice insisted upon by Discount if you let them do the installation. I take the wheels loose to them but still follow this practice. So it's same-size all the way around for the truck.
Tire Rack is showing the 275/55/20 Proxes ST III back in stock by end of July, hopefully they're right. I think we can hold out that long. I almost pulled the trigger on a pair of General Grabber UHP's but noticed they have a really low UTQG rating of 360 vs the Proxes ST III at 500. I know the numbers are subjective but if General thinks it's that low, that tells me not to expect much lifespan out of it.

Man if it runs and drives well and isn't a rusted out up North truck, for $6K it's hard to beat. Lots of miles but if it's been taken care of over the years it shouldn't give you too much trouble. Good paint work is pricey but at this age anything but a purely garage-kept example is gonna show its age. I don't even wanna think about what I paid for a full paint job, but then again there was bodywork involved too since it was a salvage auction wreck.

What's your go-to tire for the factory 275/55/20 size? I've been running Toyo Proxes ST III for a few years now and happy with them but the fronts on my wife's truck are due for replacement and she's taking a road trip pretty soon so I need to replace them ASAP - but ST III's are on backorder and I can't find them anywhere. Well, there's *1* new tire on eBay but 1 tire doesn't help me.. need 2.
I'm almost considering an OEM tire (Goodyear Eagle Sport A/S) since it's an XL rated tire and has reasonably good reviews for what it is. Not a fan of anything made in Korea, China, etc. so please no Kumho's or Linglong Chingchong Longmile Anytire etc.
Application is a stock '06 SS RWD that is a daily driver in an area that is ridiculously hot half the year and gets below freezing a few times in the winter but no real snow, and PLENTY of rain, at least most of the time, anyway. Houston TX

Is this still available? What do the fenders look like on the bed? What colour?
You should probably text him at the # provided in his post, he's a brand new member (1 post from back in January) that probably won't be back here to see your response.

Welcome,
I've got the Belltech Street Performance shocks on both our '06 SS's (and on my dropped '93 C3500.) They're pretty good, though I think one of the rears on my Intimidator has sprung a leak and needs replacement. It's been on there a couple years so I'm not pissed, it's definitely a premature failure but I do put a lot of miles on the truck (it's my daily for the past few years) and the roads around here are terrible.
Richard

There was a while you could still get them on ebay from a seller that had old stock of several SS parts, though I'm sure that supply has dwindled over the years. Yep, just checked and that is all gone.
Maybe someone else can chime in, wasn't there a different GM truck model that used the same size/shape of cover? Avalanche or Escalade maybe?
Richard
-
Seller is BS'ing you. May not know he is, possibly previous owner BS'd him and he just didn't ask anyone else like you are. Many SS's are theft recoveries by now so maybe that was one part that wasn't replaced with the correct one, could also be the original cluster went bad and they just put whatever they could get in there. Without more info it's hard to know for sure. You can probably doubt the mileage shown is correct.

Yea from what I see it looks like you can bend it at that spot and it’ll be spot on
Thing is there's no bending it. The tubing is really strong, pretty sure if I go to bend it that it's gonna kink. I had wondered for a second if it got bent in shipping but there's no way.. unless the shipping people went after it through the packaging with a tubing bender. 😉

If you're just going for replacement so you can use the truck, vs. actual correct appearance - most of the parts are the same (or very similar) as any Silverado from the same years. The doors of course will be missing the cladding (body kit) plastics, and tailgate will have a big goofy looking plastic trim piece on it that is very different from the SS part, but the tailgate sheetmetal itself the same.

The more I look at it, it SEEMS like if I straighten out the bend at this arrow, it might be the right hose? Didn't want to guess at it though as then it wouldn't be returnable and the SOB cost $80+ after tax + shipping.
Wondering if it might have gotten damaged in shipping, just went out to the garage and tried giving it a "test" flex to see if it would bend. Naw, this is some kind of plated steel (not aluminum), it's not soft at all, and had zero give. It was just packaged in a plastic sack but no apparent damage to the sack, and none to the box it shipped in. I really have zero confidence it was damaged. It was made this way, and it won't fit.

2006 Silverado SS - looked them up on Rock and had 4 different choices from GM Genuine listings - obviously 15295839 isn't, 15295840 isn't, 15774514 isn't.. so the last one on the list, 15295837 appears the only possibility and it did look "close" from the picture. Got it in hand and the old one off the truck and it's "close" but not nearly close enough to fit, even if I wanted to tweak on the bends.

Gets pricey but they're out there. Yours should be power fold/tilt, signal, puddle lamp, dimming, heated. Some of the higher-optioned SUV's have them if you have a boneyard you can hunt at. You can still get them new from GM, I think correct part is 15124827 but it's an eye-watering $575 from GMPD. Even more on Amazon, and still higher on eBay. Amazon lists one "good, used" for $136 but it's maroon so you'd need to repaint the cover insert. Try hunting on car-part dot com for boneyards near you, gotta be some higher optioned trucks you can check. You also may want to check me on that part # because there are some mirrors that have most of the functions but don't have puddle lamp or dimming.
The RPO code for these mirrors is DL3 but apparently the non-SS trucks with DL3's have different mirrors? Beats me man..

Well, my advice is to give this place a second chance... Spam is no longer an issue, forum is up to date, new theme incoming, new moderators incoming, and new features on the way!!
Thanks for stepping up. Gotta say many months passed and those of us that still visit were wondering if there was any life left beyond the barrage of spam bots, but I'd still pop in every once in a while hoping for change. I got into the SS scene a little later than some but have found the best info and help on this forum and would hate to see it go away.

I am in need of a replacement seal for the drivers side rear window. The dealership said it only came as an entire glass replacement. They quoted $500 but wouldn’t give me a part number because they said people just go online and undercut them. 2005 if that matters.
Thanks
The site is a bit of a pain to navigate but it was suggested to me by the guys over on gmt400 forums; it's also good for showing part #'s on discontinued items. I *think* I found the window part #'s you're looking for but judge for yourself: https://nemigaparts.com/cat_spares/epc/chevrolet/56c-c/16/tc16-860/
I do think the dealer is probably being honest with you about it being a whole replacement. I haven't looked really hard at the windows on my '06, but I do know that back around '94 GM switched the extended cab windows to a design where the frame, seal, and glass hinges are all an assembly that glues to the body. The glass itself was still replaceable but it looks like the gmt800 redesign got rid of the "buttons" where the screws go through the glass into the latch and hinges, making it a whole assembly replacement job if any of the parts go bad.
