  1. The interior in my Truck has the largest capacity and is 8 foot 2 inches long . This is what a Truck is supposed to be. Ohh and yes it has seats for me to sit in while its at work making me money.. I am so confused why people are buying trucks when they really need nothing more then a mini van.
  2. crutchfield has a kit to install both to the IOR.. But there are much better sources of music and navigation thru android auto.. Such as i prefer Amazon music and waze....
  3. i agree take it to someone.. I install a lot of commercial door hardware . Small bolts get broken off and with extraction you have ONE GOOD Shot. You have to drill it out just right use the exact proper extractor and HOPE!! 90% Of the time they break loose and come out. Being a new Truck is on your side.. But if extraction fails its tap and die time. ohh and by all means use a high quality extractor with a t- bar or wrench NO POWER TOOLS.. Just wear gloves if you attempt this. so you do not break a finger nail. i hate when that happens if you take it to someone it should be a high end auto shop not a tire and lube kinda place .
  4. Not Quite 250k But my Express 3500 HD has 236k Miles on it. It works every day of its life Loaded with tools. Ladders on top , We often have tile and some lumber / flooring loaded in the back of it with a Fork Lift. It pulls a Trailer at least weekly that is usually well loaded. The van RUNS LIKE NEW.. Its had water pump changed on it. Last year thou i had all new Oil cooler lines, Transmission seals rear engine seal and a few others . It was dripping a bit of oil so anything that was damp they replaced steam cleaned under it. I park on some Very High end driveways and cant have one Drip.. so i expect this thing to pass 250k easily.. But like all higher Mileage Vehicles you never know when something is going to happen. Always have a backup
  5. to me it appears for a after market Radio swap (screen only might not be as big of a deal but would still require resolution changes in stock firmware ) A after market manufacturer would have to build a Device to control the Trucks settings that are tired to the radio and have the ability to push them to a Android or (EWWW) Apple Application for the front end (user input ) side of the swap out... I have some knowledge with micro devices and its difficult with totally open source hardware and software. With the hardware of these trucks proprietary and the only small amounts of the software side open source . This would be a big undertaking In my Kinda educated Opinion. to add on top that most people like myself with the IOR Radio would rather just keep the Truck simple with the lest amount of things to go wrong as possible. only a few people would be willing to pay the money... My Truck works for its payments Every day .... and i need it reliable .
  6. yes. Mine does the same thing. It will also set when you are on a hill. Backing up with the camera View in Hitch mode and you put it into park from reverse. Mine will sometimes set when loading and unloading tools (Bouncing around in the bed) . Once in a while it will just set with none of the above occur. Like when its just sitting in the garage for a few days on level ground.
  7. Wait.!!1 You mean this is not what the door pockets are for. Nice item.. I have been working on 3d designing a cover for the sunglass /heat box on top of the dash to hold my paperwork and stuff. Some day i will get it done.. I have a Love/ Hate Relationship with my 2 3D Printers..
  8. The Aliens did it.. But seriously. I had something similar with two tires. it turned out there were screws in both of them and i was parking just right to cause them to leak on some nights and not on others. Parking it in gravel...... But when it was two tires one night then 4 a few days later.. Def the Aliens well young ins most likely..
  9. can i ask where you got the wheel to wheel steps . I have been looking for some for my 2020 Silverado..
  10. tell them you NEED A Truck not a tiny suv.. Make them give you a equivalent Truck to drive and they will look a bit harder and find the Long lost part.
  11. I think if you use this and it develops a leak anyway you risk being charged by dealer for extra time diagnosing and repairing the issue. If not flat out blamed for the leak or refused repair due to modifying . Remember when you take it in for warranty work there first thing is to look for a way to get money out of you.
  12. I bought my new truck in Indiana. The dealer handled the title ,Licensing and taxes. The forms where Kentucky.. the taxes and fees we paid were Kentucky. Not Indiana.. So my Assumption would be you pay the taxes for the State you are going to licenses the Truck in.. Vehicle taxes are not the same as state sales taxes. they are USAGE to pay for roads , police and so on ... Its how i think it works here anyway. You will have to take the truck to your home state / county Sheriff office to have a out of state inspection at time of registration or before.
  13. hydraulic repair shop. One that work on high pressure equipment , repair construction equipment can custom make them. It cost me 1,400.00 for my 2004 express 3500hd van . I do not know the name of the shop my mechanic used . But i do know they have not leaked . I Cant have one tiny drip as i park in customers driveways. its a GIANT NO NO and very unprofessional
  14. idle time and sitting in traffic will throw this off .
  15. i am working on designing a cover for the upper dash thing. After i get that done if nobody has one i will do it . Super busy so it might be a while. I also need some kind of paper organizer for the upper glove box . So my receipts do not just fall out when i open it .
  16. what is it with GM and Leaking oil cooler lines. I have a 2004 Express 3500 HD 6.0 V8. I have had oil cooler lines leak several times on it. This last time the SHOP Had some made at a local hydraulic repair shop that works on heavy construction equipment.. Grrrrrrrr .
  17. i have the weather tech ones in my wt truck. they come with anchors , follow the instructions to install the anchors and they will hold super well.
  18. Do you have a finance company, maybe a small one linked to in house dealership financing. Some of the second chance and low qualified finance companies have contracts with Stealer ships to put tracking devices that connect similar to what your describing on new Even new vehicles . it used to be only used ones. If your dealer is trying to play dumb and not requesting you to bring it in immediately i would be thinking its kind of device.. Just do not be one day late on a payment if it is.. Just a guess i know someone who works at a second chance finance dept thru a new car dealer.
  19. you should call GM and start a case for this issue and lack of help at that Stealership. Show them all you documentation and see if they will help you out. Dealers apparently do not make as much money on warranty repairs so they try to get out out of there shop quickly it appears. Like everything else they are not all equal and GM is who warranties the truck not the dealership.
  20. i would just call them to make a appt to drop it off so they can diagnose and repair the Under Warranty fuel gage not registering correctly issue previously brought in for . ask them when is a good time for them to have a Loaner truck ready for you to use until they get your Truck issue solved. This will nicely put them on the spot ,Letting them know its there issue without being to aggressive. if they refuse then call GM for help. this showing wrong would be drive me beyond my ability to function Nice and polite but firm works better then a shouting match Good Luck.
  21. WOW.. I think the Stealership either shorted you a few parts or you parked on the wrong side of town .
  22. i hope someone creates a after market manual tailgate latch for these trucks. I open mine 100 times or more a day sometimes. Its only a matter of time.. maybe its time to fire up Fusion and the 3d printer ... I think all of them that have the button has power assist. i know mine does and its a lower Trim Level WT Truck. I do like the power down feature . but as said above , Just like the power door locks on my Work Van locked and unlocked all day long at times ( lots of expensive stuff and sometimes in sketchy parts of town) wear out quite quickly.
  23. there are no v8 v4 v6 modes . there are is a computer algorithm that can shut off any of the cylinders and does so randomly . no way yo know if you are in v8 mode unless you put in l 7 or l9 depending on rather you have a 8 or 10 speed transmission..
  24. This probably applies to 98% of people with these trucks. In my City i have only seen 10 or so Single cab trucks. I bought one of them. Only seen two others on the road. Most all people with Double quad cab trucks are not going to use the middle (jump seat) in there truck. Mine has never been lifted up other then to clean and i have single cab unicorn truck.
  25. Bigger is not always better.. Well unless we are talking about Bed space.. Truck bed space. My Truck is Single cab long bed 1500 4.3 v6 . ------ About Water in engine issue... My Truck is not high off the ground like the 4x4s. About a week after we got it we went for a drive in the Country to a hidden not well know reservoir .The actual Road to the tiny lake is the Creek bed. We latterly Drove the Truck up thru the Fast moving running water into the stream at up to 20 mph at times . I have also Driven thru some Very bad Rain storms. My Truck is PERFECT in every way. exactly what i would expect from GM.
