Thanks! It was my first mod...idk if the link will work for you since it's a finished eBay listing, but here's a link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/390851230804?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

 

It came from Abernathy Chevrolet in Lincolnton, NC. I paid $378 but they were having a sale and have gone up considerably since then.

Installed a JL Audio CS112TG-TW3 subwoofer and box combo. I was using an Orion XTR-Pro 10d2 for a while but that won't fit under the rear seat.

Also installed a JL Audio CL441DSP to rectify the horrible factory equalization. Gonna finish mounting that tomorrow after I get another section of cutting board.

Any idea if the JL CL441DSP will work with the factory Bose system? I have no aftermarket audio at the moment but I do feel like these Bose speakers could have more potential.

The FAQ for the CL441DSP (http://mediacdn.jlaudio.com/media/mfg/9013/media_document/live_1/CleanSweep_FAQ.pdf?1316060569) states that it isn't compatible with factory amplifiers and so, if you have the Bose system with a factory amplifier, you'd need to remove or bypass it. If you've got Bose speakers but no amplifier, this thing would work. The main purpose of the unit is to cleanup the factory head unit signal before sending it to an amplifier and so you won't get any use from this unless you are going to amplify the signal.

For my 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT, I've added the following carefully chosen and installed (by me) accessories:

Front & Rear Factory GMC Mudguards. To me, they have the best fit and protection. I flooded all fasteners and drilled holes with silicone for a rust-free install:

GMC Factory "Bed Rug." Made by Bed Rug for GMC, it is slightly less expensive than the Bed Rug aftermarket model, and it has a GMC logo to boot. Hidden, alas, by the Pace Edwards "Jackrabbit" tonneau cannister:

I had to modify the side rails of the PE Jackrabbit by 3/8" with a Dremel tool, as the thickness of the Bed Rug initially hampered the install. Tailgate now closes perfectly.

Last but not least, a "SuperBumper." Good for protection from a rear end crash, it will deal a severe blow to any vehicle that tries to get overly friendly:

Color matched door handles and mirror covers (thanks to all those who helped with tips!). Next is to delete the Texas Edition badge on the doors whenever the weather allows...

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
