on all modern gm vehicles , the blinker noise and dining noise goes through the left frt speaker so if you speakers arent workin thats your problem call a dealer with your vin
It should simply olt on. You will probably have to get up under the bed to access the bolts and/or nuts. I have seen some where the fuel filler neck and extension (plastic piece that mounts to the bed) must be removed first to get to the fuel door hardware.
yes you can do the swap but besides the motor w/all sensors you will need the matching ecu w/ wiring harness. i'm not sure if your current tranny will work but i don't think it will be a problem.
2011 and a dealer wont help ? this is why i will never support the purchase of a new vehicle. I'd give my money to private persons who need it more and still get a great vehicle and a better deal.
4wd or 2? well the RPO tag tells you which tranny box is there, and matters. some cars have more than one transmission used, GM sure. 4L60E is common. 700 is useless code means tranny problems but 717 sure in turbine speed, and is on the tranny oil pump the turbin connect to the pump. 8 transmission use no counting the diesel so learn to read YOUR PRO codes. ALL GM cars /trucks all have RPO codes. (as builts) and will tell you in 1 second what M coded transmission is there Mxx but this this sensor is not easy reach. I will do just 1 the 4L60, have full manual on it. 2photos for you of ISS, (aka) Automatic Transmission - 2ML70 Automatic Transmission - 4L60-E/4L65-E/4L70-E Automatic Transmission - 6L45/6L50/6L80/6L90 Automatic Transmission - Allison id 249 IN this photo deeper, we see 250 ID.and the pump in your hands, or TC removed.TC does not fall out of cars, we yank the whole tranny back on a tranny jack tolleysorry not easy .
Rather than swapping out, why not get the one you have repaired and rebuilt? Doing swaps with other model years only works reliably a year either way because of changes in the electronics.

check and test the front sensors for damage and rust around the sensor port gm had problems with with rust getting under the sensor ring where it would bolt on to hub
