Well that sucks. For the couple of mods I've done, upgraded jump seat and the DIC, I found wiring. Not as lucky this time. Thanks for checking. Mike

I have an LS also and I'm sure it's a single horn. If the single is on the drivers side where would the the other horn be located? I'm guessing there is probably a wire there already. Thanks, Mike

Wichita here. Almost basketball season...... Mike

I had an '03 1/2T 5.3L 4x RCLB that I sold last year to move to an HD truck. The truck had 93K and the only repair I ever had done to it was a 4x servo motor at about 38K miles. I tried to talk them in to fixing it under the newly expired warranty but they didn't budge. It was faithfully maintained but worked hard hauling tools every day. It was starting to get some lifter noise on cold mornings but never used a bit of oil. It was a pretty good old truck. Hell, now I'm wondering why I got rid of it. Mike

I have the foam blocks and they work fine. I thought about just getting matching color duct tape or maybe even foil tape since that stuff will stick to anything. I don't think either of those choices would look any worse than the foam blocks hanging out. Mike

Sorry, wasn't paying attention to what forum I was in. Mike

It seems like they get swapped pretty often around here. Here is one link http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/150525-install-center-console-in-2013-silverado-lt/?hl=%2Bconsole+%2Bjump+%2Bseat If you do a search for "console jump seat" and choose "forums" to search you'll get about 3 pages of results.

Do you mean it's turning over slowly? If so, maybe it's a bad battery. I've seen new ones go bad. Let your dealer have a look. Mike

A couple weeks ago when we had our first real cold day with a high around 10 degrees I had to drive to the city for an appointment. On the way back my DIC showed low air in my rear tires. I didn't think much about it and backed into the garage to add a little air. These tires want 80psi but I normally run close to 70. It seems the TPMS for the rear will light up the DIC at about 64psi. Anyway, after I got a little more air in the tires I turned the truck around and pulled into the garage. As I walked around the back of the truck I saw a nice puddle of what looked and smelled like gear oil where the front of the truck had been. I crawled under the truck to have a look and here's what I found. Apparently the leak had just started that morning since there was no oil on the garage floor where it had been parked....until I pulled it back in. I called my service guy and got it in a couple days later. At only 7,500 miles it was a warranty repair so just an inconvenience for me. The service manager told me that it looked like the seal was damaged during the original install. He also told me that they had never replaced that seal on a '13 before and that it took his tech longer than expected. I'm sure they have changed once since '07 and thought that setup would have been the same since the GMT900 models came out. Maybe not. The service guys took good care of me but I guess I'll watch both axles for a while. Mike

How about the backup camera install thread... http://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/151780-chevy-silveradogmc-sierra-fullsize-pickup-backup-camera-installation-write-up/?hl=%2Bbackup+%2Bcamera+%2Binstall Mike

I've been watching the new truck commercials and have been seeing the soft open tailgate. I don't see the extra support bracket that all of the after market ones have. Did I just miss it or is the factory version something different? Mike
