2007-2014 GM Door Lock Actuator Repair - Click the Pic !

Now You Can Buy the Motor With a New Gear Pre-Installed!

GruvenParts.com is proud to release our repair for the 2007-2014 GM door lock actuators. In most cases, the faulty motor within the actuator burns out but the rest of the actuator unit is still fine. GruvenParts.com has corrected this design flaw by developing a new high torque motor with the factory correct wiring input. Our motors have passed rigorous 35,000 lock/unlock cycle testing without issue. We warranty all units for 1 year, but if there are ever any issues with the product we ask you to contact us immediately even if outside the warranty period. Please read the repair options below before ordering.

Repair Options
Buy Motor Only and Install Yourself - Save $$. Click the product image above to visit the product page and read the motor only install procedure.

Buy a Repaired Actuator : Our FAA licensed Airframe and Powerplant mechanics disassemble the broken actuators, clean and lubricate the core components, and replace the unreliable GM electric motor within the unit with our new high torque design with the factory correct wiring input. The repaired units are bolted back together using appropriate fasteners and can be easily re-serviced. The repaired actuator is fully tested and warranted.

Send Us Your Actuator for Repair : Send in your actuator to the address specified on the Product Page. We will accomplish the repair described above and send it back to you within 1-2 weeks.

BEFORE ORDERING THE ACTUATOR :
Please email Paul@GruvenParts.com with your actuator part number so we can ensure we have it in stock. You can call your dealer parts department and provide them your VIN # and they will give you all your actuator part numbers. Remember : LF (Left Front) is Drivers Side Front, RR (Right Rear) is Passenger Side Rear.

Please keep checking back on this list, as it continually grows.

Core Charge
There is a $20 core charge when ordering the actuator from us which is refunded when you send us your old actuator in serviceable condition (ie, not ripped apart, burned, run over, ect...). Please send your old actuator to the address listed on the product page to receive the $20 core refund. Please include a copy of your original order invoice and write "CORE" on the package. There is no core on the "Motor Only" option.

By Back Program
Do you have a dead actuator lying around the garage? Are you a GM service tech or independent shop that has buckets of these things collecting dust or filling up your waste bins? You may be able to send them to us for a $10 credit or check and help out other GM owners. We are actively building our Cores inventory and need your serviceable actuators. If they are serviceable, we'll issue you a $10 credit or check (your choice). Please email Paul@GruvenParts.com with your part number(s).

2007-2014 GM Trucks Folding Mirror Spur Gear Made From High Strength Steel - Click the Pic !


GruvenParts.com has released this billet VR6 intake manifold drive link for ALL VW/Audi VR6 engines with variable intake manifolds!

** Please Note : THIS IS CURRENTLY A PRE-BUY - ONCE WE RECEIVE 20 PRE-ORDERS, WE WILL DELIVER PARTS WITHIN 6 WEEKS. The status of the Pre-Buy will be updated on the product page. **

GruvenParts.com is pleased to announce our plans to manufacture replacement spur gears for the folding mirrors on 2007-2014 GM truck including Escalade, Silverado, Avalanche, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, and Denali. As many have discovered, the folding mirror assembly on these trucks suffers from 1 weak point : a spur located within the mechanism was made from plastic rather than proper gear steel. As a result, the plastic GM spur gear strips or cracks over time causing an inoperable folding mirror. Unfortunately, GM will only sell you the complete folding mirror assembly, which ranges from $700-$1,200 ea depending on the year/make/model.
And that $ would be spent just to get another faulty mirror assembly with a plastic spur gear that will also soon fail.

GruvenParts.com has addressed this issue by designing a proper spur gear made from high strength gear steel. This will eliminate the cracking and stripping which is occurring in the GM plastic gear.

Please note that in order to install the replacement GruvenParts.com steel gear, you will need to disassemble the mirror mechanism. This requires basic tools and a vice. The replacement metal gear will need to be pressed onto the worm gear shaft using a suitable vice or arbor press. If you lack the tools or experience to take on this task, you can contact us via email to send in your unit, or find a local repair center that can perform the installation for you.

Application :
All 2007-2014 GM Trucks With Folding Mirrors Including Escalade, Silverado, Avalanche, Tahoe, Suburban, Sierra, Yukon, and Denali.

Please keep checking back on this list, as it continually grows.

Core Charge
There is a $20 core charge when ordering the actuator from us which is refunded when you send us your old actuator in serviceable condition (ie, not ripped apart, burned, run over, ect...). Please send your old actuator to the address listed on the product page to receive the $20 core refund. Please include a copy of your original order invoice and write "CORE" on the package. There is no core on the "Motor Only" option.

By Back Program
Do you have a dead actuator lying around the garage? Are you a GM service tech or independent shop that has buckets of these things collecting dust or filling up your waste bins? You may be able to send them to us for a $10 credit or check and help out other GM owners. We are actively building our Cores inventory and need your serviceable actuators. If they are serviceable, we'll issue you a $10 credit or check (your choice). Please email Paul@GruvenParts.com with your part number(s).
