Battery for your key fob?  Must be a dealer gift.


Dealers gift was giving us $4500 for a 2005 avalanche. Lol but ya bet they aren't the right size

Jrob - I went with the little Choetech charger off amazon for like $12.99. Took the black plastic casing to get to the actual charger on the inside and that lil guy fit like a glove right under the rubber and plastic in the console lid. I was worried at 1st that the charger wouldn’t be able to charge through the lil rubber mat AND that black plastic part of the console lid but it did. Took a 5/16 drill bit and BARELY widened one of the little holes (circled them in the pic) under the console lid to run the usb cable through. Works great and looks clean for the most part.

Yea man that’s the one. Guess the price went up a few bucks. But just peel the four rubber feet from the bottom of it,remove the small screws, and take that black plastic casing off to slim it out a little bit

Installed a wireless charger in my console this weekend. 

 

I wont go in detail on the steps as most know how to do it, but when putting the plastic tray back in I used 4 screws to mount the plastic tray back in place. The tray does still sit flush, and has no visual difference or feel than when 6 screws were in. I have used this over the weekend, and it has easily picked up the phone each time it is set down, and remains charging as long as the truck in on. 

 

Below is the charger I used. To access the wireless coil, there are 4 rubber feet on the bottom that you need to remove. This will give you access to 4 screws. Once they are removed simply separate the top and bottom and the coil will come out.

that's funny, I just did the same install this weekend with almost the same charging mat on my 2014 sierra.

the one below is a similar model and also works.

Installed a 22" light bar from Amazon this weekend. Mounted on the two brackets that were from the lower valence that i removed. I had to add a 24" piece of aluminum behind so it was mounted to the holes since they were only about 15 inches from each other. It fits perfectly between the two tow hooks too.

0ac32c5c8d6c3e8e7cb9c5de095572f3.jpgFinally finished out my headlight and fog light switch up. Like I said, I went with Alla LEDs for both. Output isn’t bad. Haven’t had the opportunity to use the highbeams that much but it’s a definite improvement.

Did you remove the entire air dam or just the bottom ~1 1/2" piece? I know you said lower valance just wasn't sure exactly how much you took off. I like the idea and location

    • Maybe.   Maybe.   I don't want to be the one that needs help and can't get it when I need it. That is a legitimate complaint, and how they respond to those legitimate complaints is a big red flag to me.   I don't care how good the product is their conduct is subpar. Some people are fine supporting that for the sake of getting the product they want. I'm not.   To be fair, I haven't seen or touched their product in person to determine for myself the quality of it. I'm not offering any opinion on that either.
    • So if you do nothing and they act on their threats like death to America or Israel. And possibly a nuclear war. Whoever survives wonders why didn’t they listen? Or we do something like every President has said they can’t get a nuclear weapon. We’re at the 10 yard line and it happens the time is now or never. I think I’m ok with paying a little more for gas for awhile. It’s a shame that we now live in a world that’s so polarized. 
    • 4-5-6 fails due to design.  Not enough clutches and not enough piston to clutch surface area.  Also the backing plate can bow.     I'd say converter is two part.  The design of converter chosen, and factory tuning of it aka slipping it in D (also L6) for AFM purposes, as well as locking it up in 2nd gear, sometimes 1st, also it will partially lock up at light loads.  All because CAFE/fuel economy requirements.  A billet converter on the stock tune might hold up better, but would still be subject to the stock tuning and how its designed to lock or partially lock.     The most baffling part to me, is the 2007-2013 6L80s didn't have the failure rate the 2014-2018 ones do.  I've been where I work for almost 17 years now, and I recall maybe 3 or 4 of the 07-13 transmissions getting pulled for something.  14-18 on the other hand, it was at a minimum one a month being opened up.    If I had to guess, I'd say the tuning for the gen 5 engines/6L80 setup and its fuel economy goals had a good bit to do with it.  Also, it was bankruptcy time during these years, so I'm thinking some cost cutting was done for the launch of the K2XX trucks.  See also now the 10 speed valve body issues (more cost cutting).  They blow out some mesh screen in the spacer plate, undersized check ball, and the feed limit valve was aluminum and wears out prematurely.         I don't think it was the HP jump from the gen 4 to gen 5?  The 6.2 in the 07-13 trucks was good for 380-400hp during its life/states of tune, and the 5.3 did 310-320hp.   
    • All this might be worth it had we actually recovered enriched uranium, a WMD, or an actual nuclear deal with oversight. This is a flub of epic proportion, and they all know it.   $5.10 at a station reporting $4.99 last week. Here we go....
