I did not receive a low level sensor with it
Essentially, as long as it does not have rear wipers. There is no provision for the rear washer pump on this
In the absence of a rear wiper and washer,
I'm afraid Dorman does not offer one for the vehicle in question.
Selected User Reviews For Dorman 603-018 Front Washer Fluid Reservoir for Select Cadillac / Chevrolet / GMC Models
I used the headlights on my 2002 Silverado 2500HD DMax. The fit and finish are perfect. This new reservoir came with gaskets and O-rings, which made me very happy There are rings on both the pump hole and the float hole. I will rate this at skill level 1 and it will take you about 30 minutes to do (first time). In order to gain access to the reservoir, you must turn the steering wheel to the left and then remove a portion of the inner plastic fender (plastic tabs). As soon as that is done, the actual removal and replacement is a cinch. I just wanted to let you know Fortunately, the plastic tabs on the inner fender can be removed with a screwdriver, but you may need a tool to remove the tabs, or you may need new tabs altogether? It's easy for those tabs to get chewed up if the area has had repair work in the past. In the case of that happening, the best solution is.
The tank is made of plastic and holds one gallon. A tank that would not be confused with a battle tank. Tanks are built like this. - Doesn't contain high tech features Only a couple of items that seem to have been noted by other reviewers kept me from giving five stars. Similar results were also found for me. 2. . . As long as it is just stuck in the side of the tank, the grommet for the fluid level sensor fits loosely. Although the sensor was installed through the grommet, it was pushed outward for a proper seal when it was installed. I had to work a bit of muscle to get the sensor in all the way. This bag will not leak, I am sure. Please note 2. Plastic tab in which the battery tray bolts (for the old-style bottle, except for the clip) is molded slightly high, so the battery tray will not fit as it should. This battery tray bolt was not perfect fit, but due to its plastic nature, it bent down when the other screws As a result, that part of the tank may be stressed and may suffer premature failure down the road. Right now, the fluid is in the chamber and is holding It will be interesting to see how things pan out in the coming months and years. Greetings! Hope you're doing well. Because it is an aftermarket part and is half the price of the new GM part, If the manufacturer can fix these two issues, that would be great.
It is of good quality. It is a good article at a reasonable price, but you have to buy a cleaner pump if you have to do it because it is possible that the old pump will break when it is removed from the old unit. Therefore, you buy both parts at once and don't have to worry about not completing the task.
It's a pain! My solution to the problem was to finally buy this and to install it took me only 15 minutes. In a nutshell Is Easy! )*

Appearance and fit are what I would expect from OEM parts. In part of it, you have to modify it for it to fit properly, which is why I only gave it 3 stars. A photo shows both the original and the replacement made by Dorman. Unlike the original, the Dorman has our mounting point 45 degrees from the flat of the original. As it is at this angle, it is impossible to mount it properly, as the tab will stop the battery tray from returning to the proper position. My heat gun took a couple of minutes to heat up the tab, and I had to bend it slowly until it lay The package was then perfectly positioned in the opening. It's important to note that the opening for the low coolant sensor is extremely small. To even get the grommet half-way into the hole, I had to smear dish washing liquid on it. If you are patient and work it in and out, it should go in far enough to be effective.
DO NOT BUY IT. If all you want is an easy bolt-on solution, then this is not for you. According to the ad, it will fit Silverado models from 2005. Yes, of course. Then make sure your battery bracket sits an inch higher and only use 1 bolt. I sent this POS back once due to the fact that it was incorrect. As of right now, I'm in my nineties. The same one was reshipped back to me 99% of the time. It is impossible for me to change my mind That's what I have to do. I am about to leave on a trip, so I am going to Do not buy this pile of dog crap if you want to actually be able to wear it. I mean it. OUT OF THREE bolt holes, not even one lined up with the adjacent holes. There is something I need to redo Some idiot didn't pay attention to a molding line, so we had to engineer what should've been a simple project.
One of these was purchased for me back in 2018 after my existing one The leak started again just a short time ago. seems the leak is in the same place as the old one, at least according to my memory, so there must be a weak point in the part. I was going to use a different brand but the shipping was slower and the price was higher so I opted for Dorman instead. It is not as important how much the parts cost as it is how much time I invested in the repair, which is why I am also replacing the pump and the sensor while I was The one I'm working on now may take me more time.
I didn't have any problems during the installation. The process of replacing the battery can be seen in many video tutorials on YouTube. The bottle needs to be removed from the wheel well with the tire facing to the Hopefully on Friday I will fill the bottle and test it, and by the way, my guess is that replacing the battery can be done without removing it? As I was performing the task today, I realized that all the bolts can be removed without removing the battery first. Wishing you the best of luck.
