I'm at a deadend , I bought my 2004 Red SSR in Oct. not knowing about tool kit that was suppose to be behind drivers seat after contacting dealer they tried to get one through there parts dept but he had no luck as he could not find any part # for this kit last talked with sales manager and he has no idea where to go from here , does any one have any ideas thanks John B.
Usless people shouldn't be allowed to breed (the dealer). He needs to use his head and if he couldn't find them he should have had the parts dept call out to another dealer to get the numbers.
Tell him he owes you lunch for taking up your time. Also ask him for his home number, that way you can call him if you get a flat.
After 4 days of driving around I got around to checking my kit. Not there !!!!!!!!! When I called the dealer my salesman said the 05 model did not need one because I had a spare tire. Should of seen the look on his face when he got his fat ass under the truck to show me the spare.
He immediatly went out to another truck and removed it for me.
Lesson for the day - check everything befor you leave !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Called Sales Manager today he had no idea what I was talking about he said he'll get back to me tommorow, after checking that part # out I can see why they don't want to give me one $600.00 is alot of dough thanks for everybodies help John B.

I don't know about the laws in your state but here you can't sell a car without a jack so our dealer ordered a new kit for our '03 at no cost to us. When we bought our '05 we checked to make sure the kit was there.
There should be no reason for anyone to have to pay for something that should have come with the Truck and if the dealership isn't checking for this item how do they know if it was or wasn't there. There is no spare this is the only tool SSR drivers have.

Seems like there was a post a while back about Tire Inflator Kits missing in some 03 and 04 SSR's. GM new about it I thought and they were going to forward them on to the dealers. Its part of the standard equipment package. You paid for it already!
Update on tire kit from dealer still no luck does anyone no who I may contact at GM about my missing kit, Dealer has been no help at all every time I contact them, the sale manager is either busy or not in & when I leave a message on his voice mail he never returns my calls , don't no where to turn from here!
My SSR: #18672, Axiom Grille Bars, Ground Force springs, GTO spoiler, Mike in AZ fan, homemade alum. air dam
Well...
I know it's not much consolation, but this sounds like our carpet kit. It's been 3 months and they are still saying it is back ordered. I'm beginning to think they are just trying to blow us off, hoping we will forget about it. That, my friends, just ain't gonna happen. They owe me carpet and I'll have it. I may have to remove it from another truck in their stock, but....
600 bucks for that kit is hilarious... I took mine out, and there really isn't much to it... You could pick up something just as good from Autozone or Walmart for less than $50 bucks....
Now that we are talking about tool kits though.
Is there anything that is supposed to go in the hinged compartment on the underside of the tonneau cover?
Success I went to dealer today and after giving the sales manager a very bad time he took a kit out of another SSR in the showroom and I have to admit after looking at the kit I thinkit's worth about $50.00 but I got it and that's all that counts thanks to everyone for there help !
