GM truck Silverado Tahoe Escalade Shift Cable Bushing Permanent Fix to Dorman 14104 repair kit 

If they can save $1-2 dollars per a car that’s millions of dollars a year. Same how 99-02 GM trucks had footwell courtesy lights, but 03-07 GM trucks don’t, that little $2-3 bulb difference make a huge difference in finances over couple of years

Hope you're daughters surgery went well and she had a full recovery.

The look of victory. lol not going through that BS again!

Frustrating bastard when it pops off isn't it?!?! Glad to help

@@user-ce8ky3yi9w once they pop off it’s time to just be done with the factory BS!

Heck yeah! FIXED!

Better to just fix it once and never worry about it again!

always seems to happen at the best time doesn't it.....

A 15mm wrench, drill with step bit and a couple half inch wrenches could get the job done…. Tools are NEVER a bad investment my friend!

Don’t understand why ppl get mad when they don’t have the tools. Every tool showed is easily accessible and can be found for a bargain at harbor freight.

@@The_Humble_Servant #1 Every tool "showed" might be "easily accessible" to SOME but not all, & its ignorant (+narrow minded) to sit on here & assume otherwise (especially in consideration of what some folks have dealt with financially over the past 3-4 years). #2 Who said anyone was "mad"? LOL stop reaching, bro. It was never that serious. Thx

Good idea ima have to try this too

My 2 zip ties lasted 2 months. On My second set😂

@@Skidmarks368​​⁠i left mine loose for movement. Enough to keep it on but loose enough for movement…they were the black ones for exterior use

It’s nice to never worry about it breaking again!

Same as the suv, check out my cruise control fix video I show the switch replacement in that one.

Makes you never trust shifting again doesn’t it!? Good ol’ bolt won’t fail you that’s for sure

@@trbokmro definitely my wife doesn't want to drive it no more😂

I actually went wit the 14073 Dorman, at least it has a retention clip that holds it in place, check it out

Solid as a rock still man! Do this and forget it!

I will

It’s a fairly simple project, you can pick up an angle grinder from harbor freight for $15 that will do the job. You can use it to cut the bolt to length and grind the back side of the stud. www.harborfreight.com/power-tools/grinders/angle-grinders/43-amp-4-12-in-angle-grinder-with-slide-switch-58089.html A vice would be handy to have for cutting the bolt and holding the arm while you grind, if you don’t have one you could probably use a pair of vise grips. (Also at HF) www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/pliers/locking-pliers/7-inch-curved-jaw-locking-pliers-39639.html MAKE SURE TO WEAR SAFTEY GLASSES WHEN GRINDING! You will need a hammer to punch the arm from the shifter plate. Can use a nail or screw as a punch. Lowes or ace hardware I’ll have the bolt and nut you need, should be able to get the job done for $25 or so! Make sure to have the truck on level ground and chock both front and rear wheels before you ever get under a vehicle! Watch the video a couple times and you should be able to get it done no problem.

Zero issues still works like a champ!

Awsome! Thank you for the reply brother!

Spray with some penetrant and lightly pry, once the nut is off it’s just probably some rust holding it to the shaft.

You have to wiggle it and use a flat head screw driver

My dorman made it like 2 months then popped off…. I think a lot of the problem is the stud on the shift arm gets rusted/corroded and loses some of the diameter to rerun the plastic bushing. But the bolt doesn’t care lol. Thanks for watching

Adjust cable, when in park ,cable off ,should be in line with shift linkage lever. Cable not ahead or behind linkage lever is out of adjustment.

“New and improved” lol

I used a e clip also no issues since

Buy a bolt while you’re at it and never think of it again…..

@@trbokmro 5/16 correct?

To get it back home I just slid under the truck after starting it and having her hold the brakes and set the parking brake then manually moved the shift arm on the trans to drive.

@@trbokmro I'm using a twist tie for now until I get something better figured out

I would probably just step the size of the bolt up to match the cable end, 3/8 I would assume would work.

Do yourself a favor and just put a bolt in it now.

@@trbokmro yea ima get to that in a few days

My wife has a2009 Tahoe too, replaced the bushing and it keeps popping off after driving for a while. I will try the new fix with bolt, looks like it is a permanent fix

Yea i did the bolt a month ago…still all good so far..thanks alot..

That’s terrible, glad he is okay!

I think it was zinc plated but stainless would be a good call if you’re going to the hardware store or live in areas that use salt I suppose.

@@trbokmro Thanks
