Having owned all the different versions of the Chevy Silverado going back to 1987, I think their is a difference in the factory radios. On the 2014 you have a lot more to play with to tailor the sound. I could not image this set-up on my last two series of trucks. (2009 & 2003). Instead I had some serious equipment in both. I would love to just have some pre-amp outputs for highs, mids & lows and then add my own amps with this front-end. It can be done, but price, return to stock ability and just plain getting older..... I don't need it as much any more. I actually still have a lot of the equipment and speakers and may try updating the speakers. I have a set of ZR series JL Audio speakers and a set of German made MB Quart QSD216 speakers. We'll see in the future.

Well, good thing is, most web places discount it. Of course, they just came out with them "officially" so it may take a bit. I am even more fortunate as I can get it for a WHOLE lot cheaper from Kicker due to working for a company that sells their products.

Yep, pretty much. Kicker did not sell them till they showed them at CES. GM I guess had a lock on it for a bit. It was just put on Kicker's site last week.

Hmm, idk then, maybe I am mistaken. I swore I looked for it on their website last month and they were not there. I know for a fact they were not in the accommodation system until last week.

Ahh, now it makes sense. You had me thinking I was losing my mind. Mine will be here on Friday. Probably will not get to it until Monday though.

Hey LaVaDog did you get just the sub setup or the whole upgrade kit and where did you get it?

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
